Tanky noob builds for ultimatum?

Skeleton Mages

Great league starter.
Does t16 maps easy with junk gear, scales with investment.

Build guide is written for newbies, but experienced players use it for league starting.

There is a Testimonial section, look at the first testimonial, the person was doing t16 blighted maps with the most absurdly bad gear imaginable with this build.

I played skelly mages this last league to 40/40 and it was great. Doesn't take all that much for the skeletons to get acceptable damage, so you've got lots of room to focus on surviving (the hard part).

If you like melee take a look at this thread;

I have followed that, loosely, to make a lacerate build.

Gladiator bleed is the easiest I think.

Was doing T16 and AL8/9 Sirus with bad, self-found gear.

Awesome, thanks!

Hmm they just nerfed the top end damage hard, however I was doing AL8 sirus without the elder weapon mod, and Im not very good, so its still doable.

When you like it tanky and facetanking, and want choose targets for your minions, you get top one 600k ehp, 2800 es / block with this managuardian set-up:

The Agonyca Arachnophobia Allstars, 9000+ ES, top 140000 Armour, 90% pdr, 2800 ES on max block

Agony and Arakaali
Managuardian
max layers of defences
