[3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version
" Ice crash is probably the most powerful, although static strike and infernal blow are not that much behind. In my opinion, Infernal blow is the most fun skill. The easiest way to level a melee build is to use a 2-handed weapon till merciless, whichever you find that has most physical DPS. Accordingly, you shouldn't spec into any specific 1-handed nodes until you start using a 1h weapon later in merciless. Molten strike is good for leveling, ground slam sort of too, but ice crash is the best as soon as you can get it (lvl28). 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995

" Because Aegis aurora replenishes your energy shield each time you block and thus makes you a lot more tanky than any other shield (for this build). 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995

" will this give me good dps using soultaker? soultaker has the advantage of not needing mana. I also want full spell block and block. i use rumi's concoction as well. |

" That's for you to decide :) Nothing changes in regards to block, literally all that is different in this version of the tree are the dps-specific nodes. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995

" Thank you sir. I will try it out and report back. perhaps I can do a bit of tweaking since I do not need mana. |
|
May I ask why this build does not use fortify? It seems to be a freebe. And if you would use it, does the fortify cluster in the duelist area make sense to take?
|
|
It uses fortify, look again :) and no, the cluster is too far away, and although it looks nice, it's basically a trap for wasting passive points.
