Crackmonster's Extremely Tanky Hybrid Aegis Headhunter Arc-Mjölner Herald of Thunderer

Okay i've come to the conclusion that i need to get a 6offcolor shavronnes for the best build.

Using this build

That will give me additional 2 auras, purity of lightning and purity of ice, plus give me tempest shield. With this build i will not have issues with chaos damage, and the build will do sligtly less than double damage of the previous build. Calculated around 95% more damage. It will also allow me to use another helmet instead of alphas howl, one with lots of ES, int and possibly chaos resist. That will put me at maybe 6500 ES, or a bit more if you change around with the build. That may not sound like so much, but paired with the massive armour reduction plus all resist auras giving 7% more max resistances, and me healing up to 1400 per block before granite flasks it means in 95% of content im completely invulnerable, you really have to seek out really bad situations to be at any risk. Only bosses like dominus and maybe piety ice form are a serious threat. Armour remains almost the same due to picking up more armour points, even though you lose both armour on chest and evasion from alphas howl.

So yea. Will save up till my vorici is level 7, and then i will roll 2 green and 1 red socket on my shavronnes for 100 chrom everytime i can get 100 chrom. Should take about 333 tries on average, 33300 chromes... hehe.. almost 200ex value. Maybe i'll sell some item convert all to chromes.

So you've come to the same conclusion everybody else came to. Shavronne's > everything. ;)

Not too surprising, and unfortunatly it takes away any "uniqueness" of your build.

I've now found a better build as witch, so this thread will soon die, and when i one day get the damn 6offcolor shavronnes i will create a thread on witch forums.

The whole point of this build is to use aegis for immortality, a build to max on aegis so i can slack as much as i desire without dying, it's unique enough that i haven't seen it done properly yet.

No.. No i've changed my mind. The marauder is still best with armour/es chest, it will have 78% more armour, thereby healing 78% more with aegis. The effective pool will also be roughly the same. Was feeling a bit discouraged for a while with how hard it will be to gear this one, the right items doesn't even exist, i need to craft rings from scratch :/. Other build is more dps, but if i wanted a dps build i would play something else.

So yea.. i'm 87 now as i wanted so some time this week i will upload a small video.

EDIT:

This is it:

Build link

Needs chaos resist on gear, a lot too. Reflect handled with rumi's + topaz. If in multiplayer and they don't die fast(which equals potential reflect danger), just let your party kill them and lol around letting their attacks heal you. Don't solo reflect maps, if joining just run around tanking hits and loot, only you can kill yourself.

So yea, it will be the Aegis Hybrid Mjölner Marauder, not some shavronnes clone fucker.

I'm gonna let this topic die and spawn another soon.

I once aimed for maximum returns on block from aegis. got bored of the abysmal damage output and just settled for roughly 300 es on block. Just curious how fast do you clear 75+ maps? i m guessing you take 10 mins or more minimum to clear with that set up ?

No actually im clearing things like a goddamn monster, well 5min i suppose isn't unrealistic if i don't have to be careful, but if i do due to sick mods it could take longer. I can even boost 6man parties np, although that is a tad slow. Also no curses heavily reduces my clear time and lightning resist also does, no curses plus lightning resist = snail mode.

Tomorrow i will run some of these and hopefully capture some vidoes with no failing.

The ele reflect one is straight nuts against this build and my no-chaos-resist-gear, plus one of the unidentified is noregen and whatever else else that i've forgot about. The one with curse reveals how much power my autocurse setup adds. Not easy maps. Will skip dominus though, until uber high gear level where i can get purity of lightning reserved on life i will not fight it out with him. He's one of the only bastards that can claim my life and have taken it a few times already.

I'm lvl 89 now, spent last 3-4 days farming masters 820 while in docks farming fragments, so i didn't really level. By far my overall best character i've had. Well, my insane geared spectral thrower was techically more overpowered, but this one is far more fun.

I guess with godly gear, you cant go wrong. Anyway nice tank.

I've run some of the maps, went well i'll post some video when this works.. I got shitty internet so ill only upload at nights so it doesnt stop me playing, maybe itll be a few days, trying to upload 2 small clips when i get them edited a bit.

That sick reflect map there turned out to be by far the hardest i've yet done. I decided to run the map with nemesis league enabled in zana.. That map is was 100% skeletons and rare necros every pack all over the screen everywhere. What a fucking nightmare for reflect lol, especially the double reflect and proximity shield or allies cannot die.. Actually i died once due to 5 necros stacking on allies cannot die..

That isn't in the video however because my fucking fraps starting lagging my computer insanely a few minutes into that map and it actually crashed my whole computer. Couldn't get that to work again without massive lags, i think due to running almost out of space on disk. Anyways, there's a couple of minutes of that map recorded so you can see what pure garbage is like against this build, worst map ever man.

Then theres one of the unid maps, i never found out the mods were but ran that 78 courtyard took i think 6min or 6½ min to clear that, i'll upload that as well.

I've fallen in love with this build. Best build i've played thus far and i played some pretty cool things.

I'm gonna let this topic die out and post a small simple guide some time. I sold the most of my gear ive gathered since open beta started to buy gear for this one, today i spent the bigger part of my wealth on this pair of gloves



Which i'm pretty satisfied with. Ideally it would be on a pure ES base, but such an item does not exist yet to my knowledge..

Now i'm working on fixing a couple of items still then my power will be enormous. Maybe i'll wait till 1.3 with posting a guide since they may change things around and such.. Well, i'm really enjoying this, level 91 atm, just having fun harvesting loot.
