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

Okay, I finally got it all sorted out with regard to trying to squeeze in HoA again with my two auras. For anyone looking to use Enlighten to get the necessary boost move quick - even level 3's are going like hot cakes! Most people I chased up had already sold them, so either everyone is snapping them up or someone is trying to corner the market.

I followed the plan I suggested, using Champion of the cause and Sovereignty, together with a single Enlighten linked to Grace and hatred. I have a tiny bit of mana left over, but as I use Blood Magic on everything else I don't really have an issue.

Dps is now at 34k, Armour at 19k, while HP and ES went down marginally, to 4400 and 850 respectively. Block (with TS) is maxed out, and spell block is at 55%.

Here's my own skill tree and gear for anyone that's interested in the variation. Feel free to point out any weaknesses if you spot them. Note that the rings are a holdover from my LC build - way more lightning res. than I need! The Sould Knot I generally swap out for a ring with decent IIR and IIQ on it for general play. The Soul Knot I throw back in for the extra dps when needed.

hi i been following ur guide in the new warbands league. I m currently lvl 50+ and i have some srs mana problems, in which i cant spam and constantly need to drink mana potion,i only run a anger aura to boost my damage, anger cuz it adds more dps than HOA. Will this be better in higher level? or should i just look for mana leech items.

Its normal to use mana potions while leveling, later you can buy some mana leech items and not worry.

Has anyone compared single target attacks for this build?

I was thinking about Glacial Hammer / Heavy Strike, because the only thing from the passives that make one single-target skill better than the over one is Mace-nodes. And both have a nice safety-effect with their chill/freeze or stun :).

Any experiences?

I am now level 37, a few levels ago I switched from Heavy Strike to Glacial Hammer as a single target attack, but only because it first the ice theme :P.

What about this weapon for this build?

No, the dps is horrible.

Atziri hits a lot harder now. I used to thrash her upside down with the same build until this version. I would want to see a video of Atziri taken down to know whether I am doing it wrong.

I also tried Atziri and was disappointing. I thought it would be much easier with so many defensive mechanics/spell block etc. Seems that i can't do much damage with ice crash and single targeting on her is not enough. If someone can upload any video of killing her please do it, probably I'm doing something wrong.

Yes, please.

Those who claim that this build is Atziri viable please demonstrate a 2.0 video to prove it.
I managed to dodge her perfectly, however, during her split-phase she has casts spells all over the place that you are forced to facetank at least a few of her lightnings and flameblasts one after another. Which means that as a melee if you want to hit her once you must tank at least one of the spells. Which is impossible now thanks to her increased damage and HP, you will run out of flask charges before her HP during split phase goes to zero.

I have one question about the skills.On gem description is one combination and on mycurrentgear section is a different one??Which one proved better?

Hey guys, I'm a pretty new player and this build looked hella appealing to me (partially because Bringer of Rain is the coolest item in the game lol). I wanted to run a BoR version of this with ice crash in Warbands, but would this be viable with a nerfed BoR? I absolutely love the item but want to shoot for a build that can map 77-78 with it and at least kill standard Atziri.
