[3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version
Hi I am looking for a cheap super thorn tank duelist build. Dps wont matter much as long as it kills things not too slow.
I have a melee COC fakener now i am looking for an opposite of that build lol Would this build fall apart if I use the new kaom heart? or may be even kaom root? how about going blood magic keystone? or I still need to use aura? am looking for a max life+block build with just enough dps Last edited by Darkkrows on Jan 28, 2016, 4:39:05 AM

" You can use Kaom's heart for a massive HP boost, but you'll lose armour. That's up to you to decide. Kaom's roots are ok, but unnecesary. Also HP gain, but armour loss. You take Unwavering stance anyway. Blood magic is not an option, the auras are too good to let go of. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995

What do you do on curse immune and no leech maps? I was thinking clarity, is there something better?

"hi again, thanks for the advice, I am still torn between A rare 6L chest + Aegis or a Kaom chest+ Lion shield. I guess I might even need both setup in different situations in late game. Still too early to tell right now as my duelist is only lvl 20. I am having fun in this build. I added Riposte as the additional counter attack, it seems work pretty well, now I have 2 skill triggered on block = Riposte + Reckoning :D | |
" But it seems to me you didn't consider the fact you would have to use your main skill as a 4-link if you used Kaoms, which makes no sense whatsoever :) 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995

I'm thinking of trying Duelist as Gladiator Ascendancy class in HC.
Can you add any additional comments or tips as far as HC leveling/equipment goes? Looks like a great guide, can't wait to try it. | |
Nothing special, the build is HC viable. As usual, go for life primarily when leveling in HC :)
