Ahhh and what about the respect part? You saying we should rush to get RT then at a certain point we respec?

It means you use Passive Skill Refund Points to de-select certain passive skills in the passive tree, since you don't need them in the end-game.

I don't quite understand how the build is max block without BoR. i only count around 60ish, with a 27% block shield, the gladiator tree, passives, +1 block jewels, and Tempest Shield... Am I missing something?

Aegis Aurora - 32%
Passive tree - 23%
Ascendancy tree - 6% + 8% if you were damaged by a hit recently
Tempest Shield - 3%
The Anvil - 8%

32 + 23 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 8 = 80%

Technically, you don't even need Tempest Shield for max block.

The Leveling Guide passive trees aren't being displayed. They are outdated. The only tree that can be displayed is the first one near the top of the guide.

Any Chance you can create a leveling process (like every 30 points) for this build?

Hey man,i love Aegis and thought about going Scion with Duelists gladiator but i saw the penalty,30% vs 100% RiP so ill use a Duelist.By any chance is there a way to use Non legacy Soul taker and use axe nodes instead of the dorys?would it be a huge dps loss?using a Double legacy BoR

Can you update the leveling process tree please, they are all outdated, thanks ^^!

He has the process tree, near the end of the build, but they are all outdated because of the patch now, please wait for him to make them available again ^^

@ComradeSerge, Hey I'm loving your build set-up. It is working out very nice and the gearing up is great for what the build offers.

I do however request if possible to add ( Sunder ) gearing/gem options into this build.

I would like to see your opinion on this skill gem.

Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out for yourself in the meantime. You know you need to get RT as soon as possible. Probably should save the mace specific nodes for later so you can have other options while leveling. And otherwise, it's mostly just block and life nodes, so the exact order probably isn't overly critical.

I did some testing on Ascendancy passives, and I think I don't like Violent Retaliation after all. The highest block count I've seen (it displays a buff with the count) has been 7 so far, so that's +28% increased damage. Pretty paltry, and that's even during some tough map fights. With Outmatch and Outlast, I could've been getting +12% more damage (with no frenzy charge passives) or I could be making enemies explode with Gratuitous Violence.

Side-note: the merciless Izaro fight was a tough one even with capped block, 60% physical reduction, fortify, and 27k dps on Ice Crash.
