Dragon's Immortal Tank (Updated for 1.2)

To anyone with the knowledge, is it still worth it to pick up Iron Reflexes and run Grace for the extra armor, or should I put a few points into some good armor nodes instead and use the points spent traveling to Iron Reflexes elsewhere, while also freeing up some room for another aura?

Thanks in advance.
Got myself a soul taker and only have 12k dps with double strike.

Feels pretty weak compared to the 18k I was expecting with my math, oh well.


edit: forgot to respec back resolute tech from the full reset, 2 regrets later dps skyrocketed, lolme.

Well it might depend on what you're doing, for a party player i'd say it's not a big deal. But for solo playing it might have huge effect, depends how much it gets nerfed, IF it's nerfed :)

And that crematorium boss, that's how it's done with AA too :) Just needs to have Unwavering Stance to make it look that smooth, without it, you'll be stunned half of the time :p

edit.

Finally managed to get lvl 91 and testing stuff out that was supposed to do on last level up :)

74 Map Vaal:

92% Extra Dmg as lightning, no other mentionable mods in the map

3863 Life after reserves
1798 Energy Shield
27 184 Armour

Enfeeble in use in both tests

Using Granite Flask of Iron Skin 96% increased armor

53 825 Armour -> Vaal smash -> 100 hp left

Using Granite Flask of Iron Skin 96% increased armor + Topaz Flask

53 825 Armour / 91% Lightning resistance -> Vaal smash -> 1150 hp left


I ran some numbers too and these are quite in line with expected results, with numbers provided by the community before ^^ ... approximately the range is 6k-8k fire / 6k-8k physical / 4800-8000 lightning with the % map mod

'armor is useless' yeah right! In hardcore this build can survive a map vaal smash with dmg mod!

Thanks for all the videos / info juhazz, and for being a numbers nutcase like me lol

Also, Im wondering, why not LOH instead of LL?

Even with 25k dps, thats 25000 x 0.088 = 2200 / sec, except its capped at 20-24%, so the most you can get is around 800-1k per second.

Now LOH is (a) instant not regen-like like leech (b) unlimited, ie you can get full bulb in one hit.

Example with level 20 / 20% gem, 54 LOH x 7 aps x say 4 enemies = 1512 hp, but thats already more than 20-24% of 3-4k hp, and scales with more enemies hit and more aps.

And also juhazz, how did you get 2xk dps? What was your 6link then?

Just yesterday and the day before that i was thinking about that life on hit too, even on single target, like killing a hard boss or something, it could replace splash, as that splash is kinda wasted on single targets, might get annoying sometimes to switch gems, but with 7-8 aps, it's still a huge booster combined with life steal, and not to mention hitting a group of 10-30 monsters ?

When the dps was 2xk something, i had 7-9 dps nodes more, can't really remember. But the links were IB + Melee physical + added fire + wed + multistrike + faster attacks iirc..
ok currently lvl 82 working great so far but 1 thing that i really dislike.....dps is freacking horrible without top gear.....currently using 4L and i have like 3k dps.....i just made a 5L and trying to get a decent roll on it but il get mabey 4k5 dps with it and im using a 291 dps sword that isnt that bad.

unless you have 6L+soul taker i feel the dps is just....not fun.solo its decent but when i go in party,i feel useless.....i barely do any dmg to monster.the build is pretty solid and fun but i start to lose the enjoyment of playing it because of that trash dps....

im on anarchy and soul taker/6L is next to impossible to get unless you get insane luck to drop/chance it and so far....my luck is horrible.i had really hard time just to save enought currency to get an aegis aurora so soul taker/6L...

use facebreakers if you don't have a soul taker.

Easy 14k dps.

oh yeah I thought it was added fire instead of splash and mpd, but just wanted to make sure ^^ gg vs single target on an RT tank build!!!!

Yeah, more about loh and life leech ... also life leech calculation is assuming 0 res / armor, which it rarely is (??), even with EW curse. But vs single target boss, I suppose life leech will be superior still even with 10k dps ... 880 life with perfect ll gem vs 405 with perfect loh gem at 7.5 aps, but again assuming 0 res on ll ... hmm lets say 50% ele res ... then they're kinda matched and loh would win overall because of groups of mobs argument .... but on paper, again single target life leech will then outright win if 15k+ dps, and loh will always on paper win in groups of mobs. You let us know what you find out :P

What does everybody think of Unspecing Unwavering stance, and just equip Eye of Chayula instead? If I was to use Bringer of Rain, The lvl18 blind is rendered useless because your build consists of having Unwavering stance.
