Great block chance for projectiles until you can get that aegis or the cheaper sheild.

Disagre. You can buy

for like 1c. And it works much better with this build imo. (block chance, armour, life...)

that's still until lvl 70. So far, 69% chance to block projectiles with that shield.

Hey guys,

Just hit level 91 on Warbands following this build. Having a lot of fun with it:)

My current passive tree:



And gear:



I know there is a lot of stuff I can change and/or improve. Just thinking what should be my priority list now? Get 6L? Replace gear parts with more +life, maybe +dex to free one skill point? Im happy with current gem setup, however open for suggestions:)

When I have everything else setup, I usually try to work on a 6L, it's the most important thing that makes a build "complete" :)

Will try to work on that now then. What will be the best base? Astral for additional ele res or glorius for highest armour? Worth wasting fusings on the one I have now or rather try to buy white 6L base and craft it with alts/regals?

Also still open for any suggestions regarding my current gear/gems/passives:)

Appreciate any advises and thanks a lot for this guide!

I usually buy a no-link (i.e. 4-link or less) GG chest, then socket it and link it myself. Very often, you can buy GG chests at around 2k ar, with life and some res for like 10c.

The base isn't that important, you take the "armour does not reduce movement speed" node below duelist anyway, so a Glorious Plate isn't obligatory. You can take whichever one fits you best.

Hi I'm back after almost a year break from game and want to respec an old duelist to make use of aegis shield so was thinking following something close to this build.

However I REALLY HATE self casting so was wondering whether the following setups are a bad idea:

- Curse on Hit with leap slam

I seem to be leap slamming into everything anyway so would it be a bad idea to use a 4 link curse on hit setup with leap slam as follows:

LS - Curse on Hit - Warlord's Mark - Fortify

- CWdT (high level) with Immortal Call, molten shell and inc duration

- CWdT (low level) with Tempest Shield and inc duration

Probably bad idea since I suppose you want the TS activated before you even take damage, but again I hate self casting not to mention I often just forget to, or don't monitor when it deactivates

- Enduring Cry

Do I need to self cast this during game play or can I just rely on the EC on melee stun? I've linked it to Riposte and Vengeance and seem to be generating them quickly atm. Also, are taking the extra EC's on the passive tree necessary?

Here is the gear I'm thinking of using (chest might need to be replaced with higher armor version):



I don't have a Rumi's so thinking of using a Atziri's promise in its place.

You can do that, and yes, you can rely on getting endurance charges from ECOMS linked to your reckoning.

So I found the following decent armor chest and threw an exalt at it and miracle of all miracles I got a decent life mod on it (I realise I may have been able to get a better chest on trade for same price but got impatient waiting for one to appear).



I don't actually need any resists atm (hence the attrib master mod) so wondering if its worth six linking (via Vorici) or hold out for better?

It's a nice chest, it's worth linking.

Cheers think I will. The curse on hit setup with LS is working a treat too.
