[2.4] Rigwald's curse crit shield charge facebreaker
|
Build concept and mechanics:
I made this build in order to have a high physical damage crit character survive reflect while providing fast clear speed. This work is also inspired by Mathil's shield charger. Since I loved every second of it, I decided to share the build and the potential improvements. Is it hardcore viable ?: Honestly even with a 10k ES pool, a good crit with added lightning in a min/max map can take out the character. Even if I haven't died once with this build with only 6.7k ES, I wouldn't recommended it for hardcore leagues unless you plan to farm shaped strands until 100. What about boss fights ?: Hard hitting physical damage type bosses will hurt ALOT. Most of the single target comes from the warchief totem. On really risky boss fights, let the totem do the work and wait for the cull range. This build is not a boss killer. Can I one shot myself to reflect ?: The most damage I could take from reflect was about 80% of my hp. So no deaths from reflect. Key uniques:
Spoiler
2 energy from within 1 martial artistry for the 15% area of effect
Spoiler
1 pugilist for the 52% increase

This allow us to go crit. This will gives us excellent flask uptime. Links:

Unbuffed in town:http://imgur.com/a/vZ2fb Fully buffed or close to it:http://imgur.com/a/KknZa forgot the warchief ... Oh well passive skill tree (121 points): gear: Honestly my gear is bad, almost everything can be upgraded. Character has 1 day 11 hours played. For defences, I would want a 800+ ES chest with a 500+ ES shield. Duelist shield nodes gives a ton of ES which would allow to go above 10k ES pool. For offence, the obvious choice is to craft steel rings.

Auras setup:

First I would like to run discipline, hatred and maybe herald of ash. In order to do that a helmet with "hatred reservation" or "discipline reservetion" has to be farmed. Second, for power charges generation I use the poorman curse on hit, assassin's mark + herald of ice. Ideally a pair of skyforth here. But heh ... Flasks:
Spoiler
I'm currently using atziri's promise in order to leech. Optimally this would be a physical conversion vessel of vinktar. The basalt flask should be upgraded to taste of hate if possible. This is my first guide, hopefully you will manage to get the basics of it. Cya soon exiles ! Last edited by poz77 on Nov 9, 2016, 7:10:28 PM Last bumped on Nov 11, 2016, 10:39:24 AM

Nice to see an update to this build. You use the same bandit strategy as before?
