looking for a melee tank build
theres any melee build with sword/axe + shield that will be effective in this new league??
super tanky and still has good performance on the maps? for example, would boneshatter jugg with axe and shield be viable? Last bumped on Dec 8, 2023, 12:35:30 PM

Yes, boneshatter is an option. Shield crush would be another though if mapping is your main concern then boneshatter is better.

super tanky (relatively ofc) league start setups:
Champion + Grace + Determination + Perseverance belt (aka classic setup) + as much Spell Suppression you can get from AR/EV hybrid items + %max res from masteries, gear and passives. you will end up with surprisingly low life value but it is enough, nothing on the atlas will hurt you you wont have much space for damage but it is classic, league start friendly setup you can use that wont let you die to simple misstep OR Chieftain, max res path, Dawnbreaker shield, stack as much 'phys taken as fire' as you can get, cap chaos res. congrats, you are immortal. again, not much space for damage left :) and you are sadly playing chieftain so you better like fire skills (Consecrated Path looks ok this patch) OR any Fourth Vow setup but we are leaving starting builds now as this chest is not a 10c unique however if i might suggest something: hybrid Life/ES Inquisitor (pious path) with a 'melee' spell will net you sick survivability AND damage. you just need to pretend this flashy blob you cast is 'melee' |

probably not exactly what you want, but molten strike poison pathfinder is one of the tankiest builds out there. normally you had to use pneumatic dagger on it but the tincture gets rid of this restriction. it'll be pretty decent this league
"buff grenades"

Replica Dreamfeather Jugg with grace, determination and iron reflexes.
You wont be downing ubers in seconds, but your mapping speed is respectable while being neigh impossible to kill. Slow and steady climb to 100, and completely versatile regarding your attack skill, as long as it works with a 1h sword. |
