[3.16] Shield Crush Build | Slayer | Scourge | Path of Exile 3.16
Hey guys, this is my take on shield crush. People normally play with gladiator or berserker but I wanted to make a different one. Shield crush is one the new skill gems. The damage scales with armour or evasion on your shield.
Build Cost - Medium Budget: 10-50 ex Level 23 Shield Crush: If you manage to get level 23 shield crush that would be a huge upgrade. At level 23 you get "5 to 7 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour or Evasion Rating on Shield" instead of 4,6. Lethal Pride: Names or numbers don't matter. Just look for useful mods like: - +15% to Melee Critical Strike Multiplier - 20% increased Melee Damage - 4% increased maximum Life - 5% increased Effect of Fortify on you - You take 10% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes - 30% increased Melee Critical Strike Chance - 20% increased Physical Damage PoB: https://pastebin.com/x99viVDP Build Video: https://youtu.be/tTS-Nh-2Veo Bandits: Help Alira 3.16 CHANGES: - Shield Crush now has a base Attack Time of 0.8 seconds at all gem levels (previously 0.85-0.76 seconds). Now has 3 to 4 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour or Evasion Rating on Shield at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to 5 to 7 at gem level 20 (previously 4 to 6). Now deals 4 to 6 Base Off Hand Physical Damage at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to 172 to 258 at gem level 20 (previously 286 to 429). (Footage is from 3.15) Gear: Gem Setup: Shield Crush - Melee Physical Damage (Awakened) - Multistrike - Pulverise - Brutality (Awakened) - Impale Shield Charge - Faster Attacks - Fortify - Maim Blood and Sand - Flesh and Stone - Pride - Enlighten Vaal Molten Shell - Cast when Damage Taken - Increased Duration - Lifetap Dread Banner / Enduring Cry / Vaal Ancestral Warchief Dash / Blood Rage / Precision (Lvl 1) Last edited by wishdropper#0634 on Oct 21, 2021, 5:50:38 AM Last bumped on Jan 29, 2022, 9:02:43 PM

Hey I saw your build on youtube, looks great for a high-budget version of a viable league start which I'll definitely be trying out.
I don't think Ambidexterity anoint works anymore? I could be wrong. Last edited by Gorechild0#4441 on Oct 20, 2021, 9:48:13 PM

Nice build, thanks! I switched from vaal double strike slayer cause it was too squishy. I tweaked some stuff (and still tweaking) but so far so good. I took attack mastery with less reservation for stance skills, but need an enlighten and -mana cost ring to run everything (and maim + flesh and stone is more affordable then). Probably will respec from alira and switch some around to get second cluster jewel too (but I'm broke). +2 max res seems too good to pass up on too.
My POB so far https://pastebin.com/22q5c4KY |

Hi, thanks for the build, I'm using it right now and it's been fun so far.
Just a question, why are we using the enlighten when there's no mana problem? |

How is this looking for 3.17? I guess pretty much the same since no changes for the skill nor Ascendancy, right?!

ambidextry does not work for this skill
