*** [2.0] Gellig Mortezzah's level 100 Aegis End-Game Melee Life Boss Tank ***

maybe we can do this http://poeurl.com/y8eFnem, there is 24%block, with BOR +15%,and corrupted laz 4% and 34%. Block is capped. Also, every time we block, we get free enduring charge.

Not sure if trolling or just stupid. Link is old tree you posted and why on earth would you use BoR with this build, it wouldn't work.
Unless the new reactive gems give a block% based on the number of enemies surrounding you or has some sort of effect on block this build is 100% completely dead like others have stated.

Guys just put 2 block flasks and its viable again.
And with THE increased armor nodes its not that Bad ;)

. It is that bad. Relying on Rumi's in this build is terrible. 5 second flask won't do any good. The point of a block build is to not use Rumi's. It removes viable needed flasks. Rumi's cannot make that up.

Im pretty sure this build can still be viable

Full block chance with tempest shield or a corrupted stone of lazhwar or you could use both and skip the traveling to the shadow

You can obviously drop some health and go for more damage if you want

Unfortunately you cant be as versatile with your building path as the only other place to get block is the 3 nodes at the scion start

Also with 2 of the new counter skills applying on block this build may become more powerful than it used to be

Yeah, even if the new gems do 3,000+ damage on react, I don't think it matters. rweep in paec Ded.

Hey guys. Been playing around with some alts lately and having fun. A few folks mailed me about my thoughts on 1.3.

I think it's understandable to nerf OP things. I hope they put a critical eye towards evaluating the existing state of high end damage. It feels a bit silly to go into a high level map in a party of 6 and have things explode before anything moves. Thus, I'm a bit surprised they didn't go deeper on nerfing high end damage. But, I can understand nerfing block in their vision of the game.

That being said, I prefer harder core games, and I can understand others being frustrated by these changes. I expect more changes to come to impact ranged and crit in the future.

Anyway, I threw this 1.3 skilltree together.

Throw on a Tempest Shield and I believe I'd be at 73/62 block, 8200+ health, 1300 ES, 29k+ DPS (w/ Heavy Strike, 24k with Molten), and overmax resists. I'd probably swap to CWDT/EC/IC/ID using Tempest Shield/Discipline/Herald.

Definitely a step backwards, but not quite as bad as people might think. Again, if you are new to POE I don't recommend making a life-based melee tank. LL Ranged crit is still where the love is in this endgame. I just do it on this character because I find some enjoyment in it.

Of course, this is with about 30 seconds of theorycrafting without me trying to verify (or min/max) if any of that is accurate ;)

hey i have a question- after 1.3 patch will it be still possible to kill uber atziri as easy as you do it?

i mean if i will have near 7k hp normal kaoms, aegis,corrupted 4% block lazhwar, and nice other gear with armor and 15k+ dps,

Can we get some build links that work plz? ^^
