The bosses enrage as you kill each one and one of them does a Phys attack, which you cannot block.

" Yeah, that's the essence of it - and that's how it's always been in softcore, and probably how it'll always be. And in an RNG environment, that is also the 'smart' thing to do. But there should always be an alternative to those players that prefer a tankier playstyle, and that actually care about staying alive. And with the defensive options we have these days, it IS more or less possible, unless you demand to be able to facetank everything on a budget. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" That's exactly what I was thinking. "Cannot block attacks" is far from tanky build, since you will not tank anything successfully. In this game if you play "tank" it's one of the main thing to either block or dodge attacks and have either +% or fixed amount of HP, ES on block or so...since you simply cannot "tank" big damage in this game with just armor and res, unless you are 100k+ armor and use molten shell all the time.

if that shield has such a "huge" downside then why does 88% of RF builds on poeninja use it?

" Because it's a good stepping stone until you switch over to the Aegis version. But yeah, RF is still a "tanky" build, even with Saffell's. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" jugg doesn't use aegis. in most cases for a jugg this is the endgame shield Last edited by Lyutsifer665#1671 on Dec 24, 2022, 11:18:01 AM

" I find Dawnbreaker shield + Tasalio's cleansing water forbidden flame/flesh jewels is a great combo for jugg RF. |

I only play SSF sanctum league and my Jugg does not get oneshot by that boss.
Maybe Dawnbreaker is the better shield as long as the armour breakpoint on the character is not reached by the way. Unbreakeable only works with a high amount of armour, otherwise your Jugg will break. Don’t complain, just play better 😜 Last edited by odds#2938 on Dec 24, 2022, 5:29:53 PM

I play (relatively) low DPS Righteous Fire and as far as shields go, I try to get something with decent life and extra block along with the +2% to all maximum resistances mod. I also shifted resources away into spell suppression because I was getting killed by lightning towers/mirages, molten orbs, and the occasional strongbox ice nova. I wouldn't mind dropping Saffel's at this point, but I'm unlikely to use it alongside spell suppression.
