Because cheap, life, block , 7L What else ? try to get 40% cleave damage.



You are looking for an Axe with high PDPS ! Soul Taker is a good first choice.
If you go Soul Taker use Arctic Armour in addition.You don't need mana.
I chose a rare to upgrade my dps.


UPDATE : With Aegis you only sustain trashmobs,but Vaal pact is already doing it ! what you are affraid is big hit ! I will definitely go for a rare shield with physical damage,life, high armor, high block
like this ! :

will maybe exalt it for Block or strength !








For the rest : CAP your resistance. GET Attackspeed, Flat phys, Life, Strength.

Get Flask to upgrade your DPS and ARMOuR

Resolute Technique : Because crit and accuracy rating is too expensive
Unwavering Stance : Because You don't want to be stop
Iron Reflexe : Because armour is good
Vaal Pact : Because you are a leech Machine

Jewell : go for LIFE,DAMAGE,ATTACKSPEED

ASCENDANCY :

- VERSATILE COMBATTANT = BLOCK
- GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE = DAMAGE IF BLOCK
- VIOLENT RETALIATION = Destroy every trash mob in your path

WHY no Outmatch and outlast ! Because You have frenzy from Bloodrage and endurance from the Bringer of Rain




If you guys have an idea for the build, please tell me. it is not a finished build !

Specially thanks Skrill for helping me through the creation of the gladiator
Thanks for reading ! See you Exiles !

You want some feedback?

Yes? Good. :D

Why do you don't favour the Aegis Aurora more? 300 ES with Aegis? Why?
BoR with Aegis, again, why?
Vaal pact with Aegis, why?

I played a Aegis ES tank back in 2.3 or so in Perandus, you really want a 6 linked high Armor Body with nice ES/Armor helmet and boots/gloves. Some Flat ES from your jewellery too. If you at the point of about 2k ES, you don't suffer that much anymore, and your leech counters degens.

One thing I saw too, why do you use added fire instead of maim or ruthless? That would increase your damage further.


You might overthink your gem setup and maybe your gear too.



Cheers :)

Hello ! First , Thanks for answering so quickly !

I will try to answer your questions.

I feel like there is no need to have an high ES to use Aegis.
because 2% of 8k armour is 160, so I gain 160 ES by block. it sustain my bloodrage + trash mobs.


A 6 Link is expensive but i had thought of going 6 link and use a different helmet.

I feel vaal pact is a must have with my attackspeed. i'll try without it.

I think added fire damage have a better single target gem, and it is what I needed for boss :)

The only thing I fear is huge hit from shaper etc...



update :
- trying lioneye remorse shield, looks good.
- No vaal pact looks sketchy, if a t16 boss hit me hard several time and if i don't leech enough i'm dead. :'( with vaal pact my life Go up and down and up :D
