Where do you get armor from when running CI builds?
|
Hey,
Where do you get armor from when doing a CI build? I assume all armor slots will feature pure +ES gear, so how does one handle armor? Side question, if you don't go CI, how big of deal is chaos damage in late game maps? I've only done 66 and 67 maps thus far. How much life/chaos resistance should be minimum? |

I run 4K hp, 200 lifereg, loads of lifeleech melee marauder. Didn't have any real problem with chaos except for dual wharf boss.
Got lucky and found So now chaos is a breeze, I'm just looking for another +20 chaos item to get above the 0 chaos res mark. Hopefully I'll get hold of an Amethyst ring with an additional +20 chaos res roll. | |

Since you must get IR+unwavering as a CI in the new leagues
Grace = 1350 armor level 80ish chars = 300 base armor 1650 + dexterity + the es/eva nodes(and es/armor) = 4000-5000 armor. Determination is a multiplicative 50% boost = 7500 armor. If you can get +400 armor on your belt that is another massive boost. Last edited by Fluttershypony#7753 on Jul 4, 2013, 8:46:30 AM

Thanks!
The reason I'm asking is I'm considering making a Life/ES hybrid build in onslaught, but not quite sure how to handle armor. I don't want to travel to the Iron Reflexes node. I don't want to travel to the Unwavering Stance node (I hope having a decent health pool (3000?) means I don't HAVE to have it?). Perhaps I could dedicate my shield slot to a shield that gives me 2000 armor'ish? Maybe this can't really be done? Last edited by AveiMil#0732 on Jul 4, 2013, 8:57:14 AM

Why has no one mentioned granite flasks of iron win?
It's by far the easiest to incorporate, and highest output of any single option. |

" Either use an ES with 400-500+ energy shield, or an archon shield with very high armor+es rolls(if you lack resists). |
