[1.0.6] 1H shield infernal blow marauder/duelist with video by boxsalesman ( immortal build )

Cheers for the answer,forgott that explosion aint scaling with phy dmg.

.

are you max resist with the gear on the front page?

I have 2 armor one with tri resist but low armor, the other great armor and dex but no resist. so either I am 2k armor and max resist or by swapping gloves ( which has int and dex on them) to get it on I have 4.4k armor and about 33 all resist.

the build is great I am 64 and killing anything I see but at the end of act 3 the resist are murder.

one handed weapons SUCK in this game LOL

I have been running 68-70 maps on another chr to try and find something worth picking up and so far its all crap.

I was max resist when I started maps, with even slightly worse gear than linked when I made the vid. My current gear is very easily maxed, I even specced out of quite some resist passives.

Best thing to do is just give all resist passives a very high priority in the skill tree, and once you get better gear you spec out of them again. Resists are even more important than life nodes if you're not capped. Exspecially if they can make the difference between 50 and 75 resists. Those 25 points will HALVE all elemental damge you receive. A 50 hit becomes a 25 hit.

thanks for this effective build..

is there something wrong? waiting for your suggestions, ty (:

May I suggest you addding following to the build. The usage of additional accuracy gem before you get RT, as many people overlook that gem often. And atm on default attack I have a lvl 37 78% chance to hit, which is awful and would get worse as I need still 4 points to RT. And it doesn't have mana multiplier... Perfect addition IMO. At lvl 31 req it gives me 90% chance to hit, if I had it from start I'd be like 92-93% surely, so massive difference. When I get RT I'll just swap it out for quicker. :)

Regards, build is pretty good so far.

Also wondering about shield transition, as I don't have enough for Aegis (not even close) since I recently tried out nemesis. So using crest of perandus, which is still awesome. So at lvl 50 or so will prolly try armor based one with additional block as there isn't nothing better I think. Suggestions?

Been playing this build for a bit now, love it.. thanks for the guide.



My Tree


My Gear


It's all pretty good and I have been able to do maps 4 levels higher then myself solo, I
Made some different choices due to the circumstances I found myself with. Took the sword cause of its good dps value.. could not find a better mace that would cost many many exa though i agree the mace nodes are better, took an extra rez all node to get my resistances to 75%+ each, been playing around with aura gems.. if I can get my mana up I could run 3 auras, I almost do it now but I'm still a little short the beastly mana regen and mana leech rings keep my mana up so no mana problems here with 2 at all.. but to change equipment always solves one problem and creates another. Since there is always room to tweak was hoping for any useful advice anyone might have thx again!

IB is fun to play but I would not recommend this build if you can't afford a very good 1h weapon and a 6L chest. I can only afford a 5L and my 1h is 270 dps, getting very lackluster dps results. Also don't feel very tanky compared to my EB MoM trapper who also does a shit load more damage with around the same currency spent.

So this build can easily farm Piety (slowly) with bad gear, but a trapper or a summoner would be a better choice imo, they can do higher level maps for less currency, also just as tanky if not more so if you use MoM with a big mana pool.



My shit items ^ With Melee Splash instead of Inc Fire damage my dps is 6.4k. 9.6k without Melee Splash.

I see you don't have quality melee splash and only 10% on IB, much of the power is in chain-clearing huge packs , this scales exponentially with increased radius. Since both the melee splash range ( affects which targets will explode ) , and the explosion range get buffed.

I think the splash is already quite big but you are right that would improve my clear speed a bit. My main gripe is the somewhat low single target dps. I wasn't able to kill Dominus the first time I tried him, but might be able to now since I gained a couple of levels since then.

But I enjoy the build a lot as a way to relax and not worrying/caring if I die. IB is such a satisfying skill to use. Just wish I had a 6L or BoR.
