[1.3] Aegis Aurora BoR 30k dps Super-Tank with 2-3 Counter Attacks +Molten/Static/Lightning Strike
regarding to the armor vs life question, does armor help reduce the big hits enough to warrant taking armor nodes over life? Or should we strike a balance? I also went for all life instead of armor because I wanted to hit over 4.5k hp and near 5k hp so that I can take one big ass hit. Feels like that is what mostly kills me anyways. Not sure how much armor will help if I take a spike hit that does over 4.5k damage...cuz those just don't make sense sometimes and it happens even with hella armor.
would love if u guys gave me more info on this. question 2: how does the increased defenses nodes work for armor and everything? it is a bit vague. Just says "increased defenses" by %. does that meant 50% increased everything that has to do with defense or just armor and evasion? if so does it double dip with IR? because I did not take command of steel (using tempest aura), but is the defensive increases worth taking it?

I'd go more life, armor is more for mitigating small hits and replenishing energy shield while our hp/block is what keeps multiple big hits in a row from killing us or that 1 huge it. Since we're using an aegis, small hits are no problem anyway and I only have 6.2k armor. I'm very happy with where my armor is at right now.
I'm level 92. Started the build at low 60s on my duelist and it's really fun, good dps and very tanky. 41k static strike dps 5.1k hp 6.2k armor 600 energy shield 73/55 block/spell block I use hatred, tempest shield, HoI and HoF. Although HoI isn't that good I don't need grace so I just run 3 25%'s instead. I'll probably switch out my soultaker for a weapon with a lot better dps and get some mana leech and take off HoI. With the double legacy BoR and legacy aegis with 4% block laz, I was able to drop a ton of shield nodes in ranger/duelist area and pick up some damage nodes. I have enough dps now though so I'm working on more hp, planning to go for 5.5k hp by 95. |

" pretty much the exact setup i have but why do you use static strike instead of cyclone? I thought cyclone was better even with teh lower tooltip dps? btw, can we see your setup? OH! Please please show me the axe that you upgrade to since I am wondering on what I should get next. I could get a legacy soul taker but if there are better dps items out there...that would be awesome! |
|
Oh yeah, I use static strike because I already have another character that uses cyclone. I enjoy using different skills or I get bored lol.
I was also thinking about a legacy soul taker just because not worrying about mana is awesome lol. I'll have to look around for a good axe or even a mace but I'd need to regret a bit. I'll let you know when I get one. |

Could anyone capture the defence of character?
Thank you! |

Hmm... leveled to 76 but can't level conc effect because I need 103 int.
Gear
Spoiler
How do I get more, I also already got the +30 node near IR? |
|
can someone please explain how the nodes with % increased defenses from equipped shield work?

Hi guys,
Just to say that I see many pepole playing with Soul Taker or Doryani's. I bought a 314 pdps mace for ~2ex which is quite helpfull for life/mana leech (in compareason to Doryani's). I hit around 28k dps /4.5 K HP / 900 ES Gear
Spoiler
Next step : change my rings and kick Atiziri's a.. :) |
|
" You do realise that doryani's can get up to 320pdps and even a 310pdps one can be had for cheap? The ele damage is just cherry on top. For try, for see, and for know.
This is a buff |
|
Ho man.. Thanks!! I didn't realize Doryani's could have such high pdps. I am trying to buy one right now!! :)
