Dragon's Immortal Tank (Updated for 1.2)

Is this chest worth using over BoR as 5L (working on right colors/6L)?

My current gear:

So if i have like 0es and 0%es increase in my skills, shall i even use Aegis Aurora?

So close, still few days away. First melee to reach 100 in PoE i guess. Character was created 4 months ago as of this post :)

Big thanks to Dragon (<3) for this build, there just is no other build that gives the same survivability like this :)

The mana cost for all auras except Clarity has been changed to 60% reservation. Edit: Blood Magic is very strong because the auras are so powerful and the mana reservation can be mitigated very heavily using passives, items and the support gem.

Okay, survivability just dropped down by a considerable amount.

They have basically destroyed solo play. Everything will become a group rush/blitz. Forgot stopping to try to pick up loot along the way, as you'll be left behind.

It seems there will be additional passives behind the Blood Magic keystone, which will somehow make reserving auras off life viable.

And you have to pick up Blood Magic on the way, which is not the option :D

It seems you can reserve 2 auras on mana + tempest shield IF you have taken enough reservation passives.

I have been playing solo all the time... what to do with my auras now? With lvl 20 Reduced Mana Gems I can at least run Determination and Grace. For another aura on mana I would have to get at least 16% more reduced reservation, this would lead to 33% mana reserved per aura...
This means now all that remains to do is wait for tomorrow to see if those 16% can be achieved with a reasonable amount of skillpoints.

Without Purity I will also have to get some more fireres. to have max. resistance on maps with Ele. Weakness. What a luck I wanted to get new gloves anyway.

Intresting to see changes in this build. It's something I'm considering to respec my marauder.

Now that aura changes free some gem spots, what do you think about adding molten shell for extra armor? Depending on how trigger gem mechanics work, it could be linked with such gem to keep it up more easily.

Immortal call, molten shell and enduring cry would be handy on these proc support gems
