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

Note that i spent around 8exa for this to achieve the 30k Reave Dps


Now lvl 90 trying to push until 95 to have more options and get more tanky!

Do it step by step guys it will be better!

Use jewels to get block chance with shields 1% and 1% spell block with shields!

You can also mastercraft 1-2% block chance on gloves if you have Haku level 7 !(costs 2 divine orbs)

Get a corrupted version with 3-4% aditional block or spell block of Stone of Lazhwar!

These are some quick improvements i have to mention

I don't go up the left tree for the spell block. It is a waste of nodes in my opinion. It's better to go up the duelist and ranger tree.
I recommend to use :
Iron Reflexes, Jewels, Tempest shield and punishment with CWDT.

The new tempest shield is amazing with cwdt. Extra 3% block with two ways to refresh, either on block or damage.
The new punishment adds mad damage with increased duration for melee.

IRON REFLEXES with Grace and Determination now if you got the dex for it. The right side tree will help.
Iron reflexes is now usable since it is only 3 nodes away now next to the block. I run up to 31500 armour and 81% Physical DR now. With fortify you hit with the extra 20% damage reduction

Use jewels with Block or whatever you need.
I use jewels with max life/ leech/ life gain on hit or armour and life with extra melee attack/speed damage since I don't need more block.

Though spell block jewels with life would be OP.

I also recommend to use LAZHWAR with SPELL BLOCK 4% because you can get up to 72% block, with addition of tempest shield and have 75% block. This frees up the use of the lazhwar block for spell block. You could also intertwine this with jewels for your own gear or uses.

This is my tree which makes use of a lot of the new tree choices and areas.
Pretty tanky and decent damage.

Loving it...thanks op and all who are contributing.
Hey folks. I updated this for 2.0 (haven't played enough to tweak things yet), pretty similar tree to before. I prefer the spell block route for more tanking ability, but definitely lots of options. It is still very expensive and it's a hard slow road being a tank ;)

Gellig, is there any specific reason why you path out of Mara area through the Barbarism cluster? You could go through Born to Fight and save yourself a skill point to put into Scion wheel.

Here's what I'm talking about:

Also you have all 123 points specced: does that mean you're not taking normal Oak due to the use of Legacy Kaom's?

Have any mana issues?
Depends on if I use my level 4 enlighten with 3 buffs or just 2... (or some regen mods). At this point I just do fun stuff rather than levelling tho ;)

You could always use the BM gem and do around 10k dps.
