[2.2] [Updated, Uber down again] Heavy Armour Mjolner v2.0 (Build + Uber Guide)

as you get your sustaining rigtheous fire?
How's the clear speed for end game mapping? Able to facetank most mobs and have high clear speed even in full parties?

Are there any map mods we need to be careful of?

I'm wanting to have a Mjolner build and I'm currently saving up for a Volls, Mjolner, and the other stuff, but I have a couple questions about gearing.

Corrupted vs uncorrupted Voll's Devotion. On standard, a corrupted Voll's is 5 to 8 exalts cheaper than an uncorrupted Voll's. In some of the more extreme circumstances, for the price of an uncorrputed Voll's, I can get a corrupted Voll's and a Mjolner. The thing is, I have no clue on how difficult it is to meet the str and int requirements for Mjolner with this build. Can I get away with using a corrupted Voll's?

Are your resists capped without Purity of Fire and Lightning, or do you factor the resist bonus from them when gearing up?


Hey, I'm not OP but I wanted to make his build aswell, but couldn't afford an uncorrupted Voll's Devo. I still went with it, and I think I can call it a success, you have to fiddle around a bit tho. At the moment my choice is either using 1 extra passive for +30 str and run the Magnate belt, or I can free up that passive and use a different belt, otherwise I will either lack str or int or cold resist. My gear is in the spoiler below!

Gear
and with the other setup I change
I've been running this build for some time now, and really, OP must be appreciated on how brilliantly it has been crafted. The build is really REALLY strong for both mapping and Atziri and clear speed is insane. The build is strong with just mjolner equipped, but after voll's devotion and king'sguard, it becomes ABSOLUTE BEAST. I've still to find a mod that stops me. Recently upgraded my gear and got a legacy Mjolner, its been going great since.

This is my gear here.

Spoiler


I have 86/80/85 resistances and fire res hits 99 with flask. At 4.84k HP right now and armor hits 58-59k with flasks.

I have quite a lot higher attack speed. I'm hoping to upgrade the ring soon with better stats and some attack speed on it as well (fire resistance is already capped without it). Both jewels i have equipped have attack speed on them. Hopefully, after that upgrade, I should be set for Uber.


I haven't ever been motivated enough to push through and get a build to go beyond 90 but with this, i think i might because with this character, i NEVER die unless i do something monumentally stupid.

There are absolutely no mods that have caused me a problem. Elemental reflect is not even slightly a prob. Just press ruby/topaz every five seconds (You'll get into the habit). The only mods that might be irritating are Temporal chains and Players have no mana/health regen. (we have only about 60 mana left after auras and no mana regen bums it up a bit, but not enough to call it a problem.)

Spoiler
There's only one thing you should avoid doing with this build and that's going PVP :P Everything else is awesome. (And oh, stay away from Hall of Grandmasters map, the perma stunning cycloners make your life hell even if you have unwavering stance.)


Amazing build mate, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Edit - Something I forgot to add. I haven't attempted to run an uber yet but I have run Normal atziri a few dozen times (started at lvl 80). Its just way too easy for this build. After lvl 90, I am able to RELIABLY tank dual flameblasts (doesn't even hurt, max hp loss i've had is 30%) with my ruby up.

If I was to start the build with a 5 link Kingsguard, what gem would I drop? Faster attacks? Lmp?

Would be temporary, till I farm more to buy a 6 link..
@Le_Sanzo I see, thanks for answering. Looking forward to the build, I'm going to respec my witch when she gets to Standard from the 1 month league. Already have all the uniques I need, just waiting on the rares until she gets over so I can figure out her resists and stats requirements.

I would suggest dropping fortify till you get a 6link. I don't use a lmp because gmp procs enough times already.

Also wondering which gems are priority for quality?
I appologize if this stuff has been asked before.

Personally, I prioritized based on what affects dps the most.
These 4 have the highest impact on the dps

1) Faster Attacks
2) Greater Multiple Projectiles
3) Iron Will
4) Blood Rage (I run Blood rage manually at all times, so the attack speed bonus really helps)
5) Righteous Fire

~ Arc can be added here but the shock chance doesn't work against Atziri, so I didn't prioritize it.

Other good options would be,

5) Discharge (Bigger radius)
6) Arc (Shock Chance)
7) Increased Duration (If you really want the longer IC period)

I didn't find it worth it to quality multistrike and molten strike. Everything else is purely choice.
