[3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version

First of all, thanks for the build. Have enjoyed it quite a lot.
However im facing a few difficulties with tanking bosses.
Im doing fine up to merciless lab, but uber lab Izaro does quite some damage and im having trouble completing it.
Maps seems quite alright, im only at T12 atm. Some magical bosses though, can almost 1hit me.

So my question is if someone could give me some pointers/help to what and where i can start improving a little?
My armor is quite low on DEF, but im way too poor to afford a good 6l atm :(

Im at max resist (except chaos -60%)
67 block to attack/spells unbuffed.
12563 armor
5654 life but no ES.

Here is my gear:



Skills ive taken according to the build:

Thanks!

Get an Aegis Aurora and your survivability will quadruple.

Oh ok, will it be that effective since i ahve so low ES?
What more can i do to get more DPS?
Better rings/amulet?

Thanks!

If you took the nodes that are recommended, you should have more ES from the shield. Also, get some flat ES on rings/belt or other gear. You need at least 400ES, 500 would be optimal.

Get flat phys on jewellery, get spiked gloves with AS and/or flat phys etc.

Thanks!

I changed some stuff and imat 5636HP and 444ES atm and 11167DEF.
Static strike DPS in city is 46k


Is all that alright?

I need to get new rings, trying to see for Steel rings but hell they are expensive...
Might need to get new spiked gloves for resist too later

Yes, that's decent DPS for 1h RT builds. You can get more, but it's only min-maxing from now on and requires more currency.

Thanks for confirming :)

I noticed on uber lab, when buffing Izaro, i kind of got 1hit. I ran determination but it wasnt enough. Should i do determination + artic shield?

What other end game bosses can this build (or in my current state actually handle?) handle, say shaper etc? or uber atziri

Izaro does chaos dmg also.

Ah shoot... Getting more or even maxing chaos resist will be really hard.
Does anything else reduce chaos damage, say buffs etc?

there are flasks that buff chaos res.
but basically dont get in his big dmg hits as poe tend to have a deal with the devil in regard to one hit wonders. Mechanics saves you more than defense.

I tend to learn what kind of hits one can do/take and then make sure to avoid any big dmg to be on the safe side.
