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

I suppose you have a bleed flask since you're in HC, so that's not an issue. Only other things is chaos dmg if your chaos res is low. Other than that, nothing to worry about, not even reflect :)

My Ice Crash gem setup is:

Ice Crash - Fortify - Melee Physical Damage - Faster Attacks - Increased AOE - and - Culling Strike.

Considering using all Q20 gem, would it be better if i switch Culling Strike to Cold Penetration?
My current chest gear is corrupted with RRRGGB.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

hi , what do u think about using cyclone instead of static strike and ice crash thank u

Possibly, but the best way to know is to test it yourself and compare the dmg/clear speed.

You can do that, but I'd recommend a different weapon in that case, and ofc, a different gem setup. Also, you might have mana issues then, but not sure, myb enough mana leech would solve that. If not, you'd have to use blood magic gem linked to cyclone.

If anyone want to play this for the 1-month and has any questions, feel free to ask :)

Hey there,

awesome guide so far, but atm Ive got really problems on merciless especially with beyond mode.

I really dont know what iam missing when the char not blocks i usually loose like 50% hp per hit from every rare or unique boss



I even play with blood magic cuz i have insane mana problems otherwise
Currently the fortify link is missing cuz i just get this new weapon.
I using HoA+Hatred+TS atm

Thanks in advance!

1-shouldnt we get more WED on jewelry and belt?! if we use ice crash!??! since most our dmg will be elemental?! isnt WED better than flat phys?!

2-and also how muhc life and mana leech do we need?!

3-why vaal molten shell over normal molten shell?!
and do u manually cast it? or use it on your cwdt setup?

4-with the BoR version, we lose a 4Link from the helment, what 4L do you suggest to drop?!
the reckoning/lgoh combo? or something else?!

5-how the hell do you sustain your mana!?!?
i ahve 0.4% mana leech,
ice crash=18k dps (only 1000-2000dmg is physical..) so the leech doesnt rly works...
i have 123 unreserved mana
and ice crash cost is=48 mana per attack
i attack 2 times/sec
mana regen i=11/sec
i have no idea how do you ppl sustain mana with this build?!?!

Armour. You're missing armour. And A LOT of it, since you have only 3.8k :) with that amount, you shouldn't be surprised at all you get to half hp from one hit. Get better gear.

1) No, because the skill, like all skills that transform a part of your pyhsical damage into damage of an element (infernal blow, static strike etc.), scales off of physical damage. So the physical damage modifiers increase both the physical and the elemental portion of your damage, while elemental modifiers increase only the elemental portion. Thus, WED is good, but physical damage is always better.

2) As much as you need to be happy :) warlord's mark helps with both though.

3) Because it stays active after the first proc, cause it procs each time you're hit, even when you block, and cause it enables you to insta-kill some bosses, like academy map boss (check my videos).

4) You can get rid of IC with Vaal molten and increased duration.

5) You do not seem to understand what DPS means. In short, Ice Crash converts 50% of your base physical damage (that's why phys is better than WED) to cold. Either (a) look at your dps, divide that by 2, and you'll get your phys/cold portion of dps, i.e., in your case, 9k/9k, OR (b), look at your tooltip DPS a bit better and read what it says exactly, but do not mix the two ((a) and (b)) because they are not the same.

As for your mana, I don't know what tree you have so I can't rly tell you what's your problem, but I'm guessing it's the fact you didn't follow my instructions for mana from my first post or my videos.

Anyway, since I can tell you're new to the game, I'd recommend reading the PoE wiki a bit, starting with Ice Crash itself: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ice_Crash
