Dragon's Immortal Tank (Updated for 1.2)
|
I'm gonna go ahead and assume you have very little armor. IF that is the case, then that is why. The power of Aegis Aurora comes from a combined high block chance AND high armor. For example, my mara now has almost 40k armor. Paired with a legacy Aegis, I am gaining about 1600 energy shield EACH TIME I BLOCK. In most cases, mobs cannot deal 1600 damage to me before the next time I block, which gives me the appearance of a constantly full ES bar and immortality. A good way you can test to see if this is indeed the issue would be to grab 2 and keep the buff rolling always. If you feel tankier, then there is your answer. Hope this helps. DISCLAIMER!

Dragon, did you combine your Scion with your IB Marauder :P ? Looks epic, might actually try the new build out.
How are you going with not using Unwavering Stance? Do you get stunned quite a bit? Also, did you only take IR because you have an Alpha's Howl or do you recommend some evasion pieces for this build in general. IMO, I haven't seen any helms that offer 700 arm, so I guess that is also why you are running Grace. |

No, my scion is pretty different. She does use my mara's soul taker though. I don't use US because it costs me a lot of points to reach right now. There are some people who are using a slightly different routing and can get US with just 1 point but I don't see the need since I am now using cyclone. I get stunned once in a great while, but even when I do, it is never lethal. I would NOT recommend running without US until you have some very lategame gear. You will need a high health pool and soul taker. I take IR only because of grace. Grace is an insane boost to armor when paired with IR and Determination that its not even funny! -Dragon DISCLAIMER!

" Cool cool, giving this a shot as soon as I scraped together some regrets..Look out for my friend invite (IGN: Domitius_) then we can run some maps :) |

hey Mr.Dragon i got a question.
i remember you having 13k with infernal blow. from what i saw on the new video (cyclone) you have 12k dps. you lost some dps changing spells. did you change to cyclone because you where just bored of using infernal blow for so long? is IB still good? (screw those necros!) Last edited by spoc002#1371 on Apr 3, 2014, 10:27:31 AM

im going to steal that text color for my next guide
on another note can you post your gear from the dizzy dragon? and also i reckon its high time for an atziri face tank video I carve and sell real animal skulls, check out my work here: https://www.instagram.com/victorseiche/ https://www.facebook.com/victorseicheart/ World first Uber Atziri as 2h and 2h RT build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1058950 Highest level char in Closed Beta, Wytchfindergeneral Last edited by VictorDoom#6290 on Apr 3, 2014, 9:38:47 PM

" Actually, the tooltip dps of cyclone is only showing 1 hit and since it hits twice, your actual dps is double what the tooltip shows. As for IB, yes it is still good. I miss it actually. But cyclone offers faster clearing speeds without the risk of 1 shotting yourself on reflect. Even if it were lower dps, I would still use it because it is mobile dps. You can easily get out of the way of bad things without being locking into a multistrike animation, as well as clear maps faster. " Steal away... not like I invented them or anything. I would actually post Dizzy's gear and build but I am still quite on the fence about it. If I post it, it is just another fucking build that will see the nerf bat... eventually. Besides, I am super sad at this game right now and not really interested in putting in the effort. As for an Atziri face tank vid... I tried to farm the mats so that I could make a vid, but after about 5 hours I wanted to kill myself and haven't played since. Again... REALLY sad at this patch. I might be back someday, but for now no more vids and no more guides. No point to it. Take it easy fellas -Dragon DISCLAIMER!

" Are you sure its double? Since this says it has been fixed: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Version_1.0.2b |
|

Yes, it is double. Even though it was bugged at one point, the tooptip dps currently shows the dps for 1 hit. When using a 1h/shield with cyclone, you will strike 2 times per spin. DISCLAIMER!

Dragon, I respecced into your build and it is great. it is true that the Aegis shines with high armour. My ES now regenerates more than 3/4 every time I block and because it is now 1.2K, I don't feel much damage in high end maps. I managed to get my hands on an epic mirrored chest...then noticed it is the same as yours last week when I respecced LOL..what are the odds :P
Bit off topic, Does anyone know if we can expect new Acts in the future? Also, will the T1 ranges on gear stay the same? No point trying to craft great endgame gear only to find your T1 stats are now mediocre? |
