It's cool man, nobody is trying to deny it. I'm just saying you know :)

The three main points of BoR are blind+15% block+10% on block EC. If you feel like you do better without these 3, than of course use something else :)

For my part I mostly figured out that using BoR, my EC were like constantly up. Which means almost perma IC uptime. Which is sick.

But, there are obviously ways around BoR, it's not like BoR is the most ghetto overpowered uber must have helmet in PoE :)

Hehe thats the problem. Im afraid to really test it out, cause it would mean dropping too much dps/hp/reduction. It would also mean I would need several ex to upgrade my other pieces for max res. I like discussing about builds and i'd love it if someone would show me that the extra block and stuff is really worth it

imo benefits of BoR outweigth the downsides so i agree with sparkl, but considering you're on HC and you have a good setup already which you are comfortable with, i'd say better safe then sorry. think its better you keep it at least untill you have enough curreny to buy really good jewellery that will help you cap res after you switch.

What ogrec said, I would personally not switch to BoR on HC just to try it out without first having equipment needed to recap resists. It's just not safe, the elemental damage scales crazy in this game.

Hell, I wouldn't even do that on standard, -10% exp hurts man.

Nice build but not good for starting league. To make things work u need woe (cheap now), rainbow (1ex with coloring luck ... got rrgb with 4 chroms) and stone. Res are not problem in any stage of game, cha res can be positive very easy with ring+gloves combo (price less then 1ex total) and I dont know why high lvl players have prob with bloodrage. I didnt take regen points and life is stable. And for acrob build there is no need for bloodrage when u can craft LL. Problem is bor (7-9ex) and rings to fill that 151 int, so elem/hatred/herald is better solution without wasting point on another +30 int. All in all good stable build with ok dps in party (more then 22k) and price range 10-15ex but its still cheap because only craft wasting is 6s woe and coloring rainbow.

Before bor

Pozdrav i hvala :D

Am... would you please explain why are you linking empower and fa with your cwdt combo? There are just so much better gems to link in there.

lol need space to level them ;p

Hi, ogrec!

Just coming here to thank you for this excellent build. Very very tanky.
Haven't died a single time since I equipped all the required gear for the build.

Currently at level 82 and doing maps level 70-73 and they seem very easy.

Amazing to jump in a big pack of monsters and cleave everywhere without taking a single hit because of evasion/dodge/block.

Once again, thank you!

Now I have to level up a few more times and invest more in life nodes and I'll be ready (I hope so) to face Atziri.

Use the second slot for weapons and lvl your gems there :)

Its no use lvling gems where you should be linking other gems for much greater defense :)

This build delivers a lot for its cost at end game and i can say that is the safest while not beeing a boring or incredible expensive build i've played till now. The DPS is more than decent if you get some good gear and high level at least for CLeave mana variant of the build.

Did Atziri last night without any deaths and not even panic momments , first time i tried it on this char.
Was doing it previously on another char before 1.2 patch - a ST elemental buzzsaw but on that char it seemed way more harder for me even with proper gear had to kite and move a lot during boss fights.

75% block and 75% spell block seems to do miracles when is about to facetank flameblasts and other dangerous hits and spells of Atziri , duo of Vaals and those 3 bosses

With proper gear you can do this very easy with mana variant (Cleave+Multi+Added Fire+Conc Effect/Increased Area) without no problem at all.

I dont have Acrobatics or Phase Acrobatics only took the aura nodes (Sovereignity) to be able to run PoF and PoL together with Hatred for 80 fire resist / 79 lightning resist

For Atziri i didnt used LL Gem , i was getting the leech from Blood Rage (10% leech) without any degeneration due to -20 chaos resist so the DPS for single target at Aziri was about 44 k (Conc. Effect boost Cleave DPS by a lot) and for adds Cleave with Increased Area and 3 x Frenzy - about 28 k DPS more then enough to clean the adds with no problem at all.

To be even easier at trio bosses changed RainbowStrides with rare boots with HP + Chaos Resist (20% more chaos resist) + Fire Resist + 30% Movement Speed for nice moving around and 0% chaos resist so the fight become even easier than with Rainbowstrides since you dont need lightning and cold resist in this fight

At these bosses you can change even PoL (you dont need Lightning resist) with Herald of Ash and the DPS for single target with 3xFrenzy can jump to around 55 k (if you throw in an Atziri Flask from time to time) which makes this fight piece of cake and bosses are down in few seconds.

The OP deserves all our gratitude and respect for creating this build and sharing it with us , really did a great job with this build to be honest

So I've finally been able to hit max res without any puritys, and I've opted for grace over HoA (I just felt like when I did take a hit, I took too much damage)

Currently, I'm still not able to utilize Blood Rage. What must I do to stop taking the damage over time? Currently at level 70

Here's my gear
