Spell block / dodge too important for Ultimatum?

Apparently the builds doing well in ultimatum are the ones with high spell block or spell dodge.

Doesn't that lower the build diversity by a good amount?

What do you guys think?

All league mechanics are better on some builds than others.

If your main intent is to play a new league's mechanic, you definitely need to pick your build accordingly.

I'm doing ok with crap gear playing a LL Slayer with Oni-Goroshi and Vaal Double Strike. So my defenses are crap, but I can over leech most damage, and hop away with leap slam if it gets too hairy. Once I find a better sword the extra defense from a shield might help.

So there's lots of different ways to play. Just because one person has found a solution, doesn't mean you have to copy them.

um not really attack dodge is more important that spell dodge, the rares that kill you are auto attacking you with 30 buffs from other rares

You need to be more tanky than average builds to do better in ultimatums.

Spells in particular seems to be more deadly, i agree. This game lacks elemental mitigation effects outside resistances in my opinion.

"Oh no, a build type that does better in a mechanic than others, better put a negative spin on it"

Every league mechanic favours 1 type of build...good thing there are 57 different league mechanics to choose from at the moment hey!
