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

You need a build with much more dps to do uber, which is mostly a lot more expensive too.

Hi Serge,

I revisited your build, feckin nice!! Thank you,



Any suggestions, for the new patch.... the duelist looks sexy, but then marauder too.

Andy

In the new patch, the duelist will go for the gladiator specialisation, which will free up both the boots slot and the amulet slot for him, since that specialisation gives you "100% of block gained as spell block".

As for marauder, he will go for the Juggernaut class - extra tankiness and dps.

Just wanted to thank you Serge for sharing yet another great build. Part way through Talisman I finally had a BoR drop for me and a search for possible builds led me here. I've been playing the Infernal Blow version and am loving it!

I'm not properly invested in gear to offset the lack of armour in using the BoR and I do die every now and then, but I really don't care. The sheer joy I get from leaping into a pack of monsters, wailing about with my mace and then watching them all go kablooey in a spray of gore is just so viscerally satisfying that I can help but love it :)

One thing I did differently was take the Lust for Carnage branch of the tree which gives me 40% increased life leech and 1.2% of physical damage leeched as life. With my armour being a bit low and taking more damage, I'm almost instantly leeching it back.

I'm also using the Malicious Intent jewel which gives a 5% chance to gain Holy Might on melee kill. Given how quickly we kill mobs and how we destroy multiples in one shot, we have Holy Might up almost constantly so that's an additional 30% of Physical damage as Chaos damage. Nice :) Yes, a jewel with life would improve my survivability but I'm here to have fun, not eek out an existance.

Also, for leveling I found this mace quite useful and very cheap:

Yeah, it's slow but it did the job till I could afford Daryani's Catalyst.

Glad to hear you're having fun!

And yes, that is a decent cheap substitute :)

ty for the build. i have some problems opening skill tree. i solved the problem the porblem. exiletools site is not wworking. chage it with pathofexile.com. ty for the build again

Here's the new tree, along with the Ascendancy class specialisation on the left of the tree:

A lot more tankiness and survivability, and a bit more DPS!

So, who is better? jaggernaut or gladiator?

I was wondering this myself too. Currently the exchange can sorta be summed up like this: Juggernaut, more armor/+1 endurance charge.
Gladiator = More block, and frees up the Amulet/Boot slot.

In my honest opinion though, I think Gladiator is better since it allows you to cap spell block, as opposed to Juggernaut which would only be able to get 75%(x75%) block. Unless they add new uniques, that is.

Juggernaut will be a super tank, but inspite that, I think Gladiator is overall simply much better. You'll be able to achieve max spell block easily with Gladiator, plus, freeing the amulet slot and the boots slot is a HUGE thing. Juggernaut sort of compensates for that with all the tankiness, reduced ele dmg taken per endurance charge and DPS per end charge, but I'd still prefer Gladiator over it. Of course, it is a difference in style of play, so to someone else, Juggernaut might be more appealing, and that is completely legitimate.
