Dragon's Immortal Tank (Updated for 1.2)

"

Hey, i didnt play for about a year now and i am back again :D i want to test your build but what i dont understand is how do you run 7 auras withought the 10% passiv reduced mana skills?and how do you buff 7 auras if they return back after you switch your chest?after every map new cast?

Reduced Mana is enough to run all those %-reserving buffs on mana. The rest runs on life. If you don't want to use Blood Magic gem for the life-reservers you will have to recast your auras whenever you enter a new area. Switching to the BM item before leaving an area will keep at least your life auras, so you only have to recast your mana reserving ones.

"

can i run this build with 5 L chest?(i dont have any 6L stuff ;D)

Sure you can. But do not expect your damage to be impressive. I also don't have a 5L and until I got my Soul Taker I had a DPS of 2991, for me enough to do maps, but slow.

"

I no have gems, no have 4L,5L or 6L, is better i Try other build first?

At the beginning of Anarchy my first char followed this great build. I played with a Perandus shield until lvl 81 or something like this, the rest of my items was all selffound either by me or a friend. I really had no great items but it was totally playable. As mentioned above you should not expect do deal great damage without 5L, 6L or Soul Taker.

But now the actual reason why I am posting: I want to thank you Dragon for this great build! Today I finally managed to get a Soul Taker and although the build was fun before, now it is just great! I am no more creeping through maps slow as a snail, it is just cool!
Next project for me will be a nice 6L chest I suppose, or at least 5 linking mine. Always something to do...

i tried it now and the dmg is realllly low ;D but jeah my weapon isnt the best. the mainproblem right now is i dont have the unq shield.


dmg is 1450

EDIT: wtf i just got my gem to level 19 and my dmg did go up to 2400 because i could run my last aura(hatred) now i am pretty ok. i cant tank really much but thats because of the gear i think. only have 200es

killed the boss in the Dungeon (66map) but i died 1 time man he is hitting like a truck :D i only have 30% armor and 56% block because i am still missing some block nodes

i need to skill 1x 30 int and 1x 30 dex that took me 4 points because i had not the dex/int to run the auras :/( that really suxx i think ineed more stats on my gear or how you guys do it?

Well with my int auras I have the same problem, but instead of spending skillpoints on stats I just decided to not level those auras until I get gear with enough int on it. Even so I don't have enough points to skill what I would like to skill.

jeah why didnt i think about it?:D your right thanks i got a dmg boost of 600 and almost 10% more block :D the only problem now is i have a very low healh bar because of the auras ( 3700 full 1200 res so iam at 2500-2600 health :D) but i am still trying 66 maps are np(boss with extra dmg are hurting but it works) i am level 71 at the moment.

Glad I could help you:)
Do you use Discipline or do you just level it? Because in my opinion it's not worth it without Aegis Aurora. Especially with BM gem it reserves about 300+ life (correct me if I'm wrong) and it gives you -depending on your passives- ~200 ES? This is a bad trade off I think. Your life regenerates itself, but when fighting your ES probably won't recharge without Aegis, that means most the time you only have less life due to reservation and no profit.

Oh, add me or PM me ingame, I think I could have a better weapon for you.

Jeah your right i will shut down Discipline for the moment. I dont really have any currency left at the moment but Thank you for the offer :Di will add you anyway ;D

My current gear at the moment. Some slots could certainly be improved upon, although yeah its all end game stuff. But as players like Juhazzz and Dragon have echoed, once you get it properly geared the build is absolutely unkillable (other than perhaps afk'ing around a mob of 8 alchemists).

Hi Guys,

i have one question: How do you keep up so manny auras?

- do you switch gems?
- how much Mana do you need at least? (600 enough?)


Really impressive build, and more impressive to be able to run 6/7 or even 8 auras??

Coming from Low-Life spork / Wander builds, and after playing this build for a week or so, I thought my 25k dps Infernal Blow was dumpster terribad. But after spending some time to read back many many trillion pages, it seems not so bad. It is also really really nice being able to not really give a toss about how hard the map mods are, because the build makes it so easy.

Forgot to thank you last time good sir, for this amazing build. Pray it never gets nerfed.

Gear:


Edit: @hitreza - You blood magic (run on life) Wrath / Anger / Grace / Discipline

Then you run the remainder of the Percentage Auras: Determination or Vitality / Hatred / Purity / Tempest Shield on Mana - you can reserve all your mana if you have Soul Taker, or use Blood Magic Support Gem on your skills if you don't have Soul Taker.

The amount of mana does not mana as all the ones reserved on mana are percentage based, though you will need a levelled Reduced Mana gem.

wow, so you guys run 8 auras, respect.

but isnt it too much life reserved running 4 auras on BM?

Also why dont u use haste aura?
