[3.1] JUGGERNAUT/BERSERKER 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank, Atziri Killer+a BoR version

Can somebody review my character and give me advice? i am having trouble survive in maps now at my level as i am not doing enough damage at all, i have been trying to 5L my chest but have not had any luck doing so. My Ice Crash is only doing 11.7k dmg with aoe but jumps to about 18.4k with concentrated, but this is caused by not being linked in my chest since it is in my helmet.

He already did make a return a few leagues ago :)

newb question.

can you block whilst cycloning?

I don't see why not.

Dumb question but wouldn't grabbing Unyielding (for the 25% increased Fortify and 30% Damage) and also Unwavering Stance be better instead of Unbreakable? My math might be wrong but it looks like the Fortify buff would trump out the 2x Body Armor unless you were wearing an insane chest piece with like 3k+ armor.

I'm still pretty new to the game though, so I could be missing something or just be flat-out wrong. Just curious!

(I'm still going to do unbreakable btw because I'm loving the build!)

It's not bad, but I don't prefer ascendancy points which make you take other passive points to compensate. Your call though.

ComradeSerge, this build will probably be better with all the 3.0 changes to 1h weapons ? :)

I am comming back to play, and i wonder: )

Hi,

first thx for the great guide.

In the next league I want to try something new and want to try this tanky melee build.

Now I have a few questions. I want to use earthquake as my main skill because I want to try a melee build around this skill. It just looks great and I never used it before. Would that be a valid skill to kill bosses or would you swap skills before endfights then? Just want to know if I ve to lvl some other gems on my way up.

The second question is concerning the skill setup section in this guide. Is the "Ancestral Warchief" a must have on high lvl to distract enemys? Because its use is not commented in your guide. Or can you swap it lets say for another defensive setup?

Why "Riposte" or "Vengeance" are not used? Are they too bad or is the "Reckockning" setup just enough?

Would something like this make sense?

Riposte - Vengeance - Melee Physical Damage - Endurance Charge on Melee Stun

Greets and thx

Edit:
Ive read the section about the Aegis Aurora and I understand what you are saying but wouldnt the The Surrender Ezomyte Tower Shield a better choice?
Besides being pretty expensive the Recover 250 Life when you Block would do the same or?
+1500 Armour if you've Blocked Recently sounds realy good too and it packs a bunch of armour by itself plus granting reckockning lvl 30.

Am I wrong?

Really enjoyed this build so freaking tanky can do preety much any map, big problem for me is mana leech have to carry mana pot with me i dropped aegis aurora for surrender shield and oh boy it made a difference it made it even more tanky, plus i got the brine crown cannot be frozen more armour and it chills everything around, and for gloves i got veruso's battering rams really nice dmg boost from them and more movement speed all in all really awesome build...just if i can figure our that mana leech -.-
