Duelist - [3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version - Forum

" urbanmonkey wrote: Hey Serge, Very nice build, level 75 and having lots of fun with it so far. Quick question, I am currently using Infernal Blow after I got bored with EQ. I currently have Amplify, don't you think it's worth it for Infernal Blow? I see you mention it only for EQ. Thanks! IB does benefit from AOE, but it is not AS good as it is for EQ. Your choice, ofc. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995 Ice Crash Crit Staff AKA "The Shaterring Karui": https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1289037 Tanky Block+AR+EV Ranger Crit Reave Dagger/Claw: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1301888	Posted by ComradeSerge on May 13, 2016, 7:26:59 AM Quote this Post
" Deathlythoughts wrote: So currently playing with BoR as currency is a bit slow ATM on PFBHC, I see you link a BoR in OP but unless I'm mistaken it still has 'Sanctuary' (4 passives) on the left, I assume we can spec out of this as with Ascendency (8%) plus Tempest Shield (3%) we are at 78%. Or do you keep it to have a higher 'out of combat block'? In addition to the above I have a question about 6L, EQ and tooltip. As I have a BoR (thus no chest) I thought I would so some testing with a Tab + Rare helmet in comparison as you say 6L is end game BiS. Using the links EQ + Less + Added Fire + Melee Phys + Conc + Increased AoE I've actually gone from 23K to 16K - obviously this is no doubt due to BoR's 'added x to physical attacks' but I thought the 6L would make up for it (as suggested in thread), mind you I didn't have Meginord's Girdle on since it was a quick test in maps but surely that wouldn't make the difference? Cheers Feel free to spec out if it if your block is capped without it, I actually haven't calculated the total block chance for the BoR version in Ascendancy. That's extremely strange, what level/quality are your support gems in your 6L setup? 20-30 flat phys is a lot, that is definitely true, but still, it shouldn't beat a 6L. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995 Ice Crash Crit Staff AKA "The Shaterring Karui": https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1289037 Tanky Block+AR+EV Ranger Crit Reave Dagger/Claw: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1301888	Posted by ComradeSerge on May 13, 2016, 7:30:58 AM Quote this Post
I started leveling a character based on this guide, so far been a great guide and a fun character to play. I just got to act4 normal and went to get a Chaos golem. I noticed the Intelligence for the character is a bit low for the gem requirements. I researched and found the Intelligence required for the Chaos Golem is 79-155. Even with gear and taking the +30 nodes on the passive tree that is going to be a bit tough to reach for a Strength/Dex build especially that 155 number. Are you still recommending the Chaos Golem? Did you just level the gem a few levels then stop? Or did you just pick a Flame or Stone Golem? Thanks!	Posted by blueconundrum on May 16, 2016, 11:17:17 AM Quote this Post
You can level it till your INT allows it or you can simply go for stone golem, which is also good. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995 Ice Crash Crit Staff AKA "The Shaterring Karui": https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1289037 Tanky Block+AR+EV Ranger Crit Reave Dagger/Claw: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1301888	Posted by ComradeSerge on May 17, 2016, 5:31:06 AM Quote this Post

Im a Duelist-for-life player and I absolutely enjoyed your build in Perandus League. Managed to get 94 with pretty much exactly your skill tree. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAQCAAGRAecEhwSzBS0GOQaLCiYM9w3NEuEUIBRNFPYV7BiRGekaPhpVHM4g4yE0Jy8oKitQLdIvzDJONug62Ds7PAU9D0CgQT9Gt0d-TUZQR1FgUeZVqVcNXz9f2mCRYMRhIWLsZU1oZWjyagFyqXTtdqx3U3fleTl673y7fNl-4oIHhNmE74Y7hmCK8ItPj5mQVZHOkveWbJd5l7SexZ7Nn8uf36IAouqnMKmVrK-tja9sr6e0L7kdvJ-9Nr6nwGbAv8GCxPbFisqQz37SIdNv2WHaweRR5K3pRunV6hjvDu988B_yQfMG85v3MvgC-6r8S_5U quickswitching increased aoe to conc effect works wonders on bosses with ice crash.
