[2.4] zSavage's Life Based Crit Mjolner ('Savagenuke') [Juggernaut]

Updated with lvl 93 tree and current gear situation. Swapped skill order in Mjolner (I had it wrong for a long time, lol).

Check out the changes and help me theorycraft what we can do with Blasphemy and whether or not we should use it!

Hi, i'm currently running this build in talisman.
Ty for this build and it's really fun



I'm just swapping arc to concentred effect on Atziri

lately I've been mapping and come to the realization that some map bosses really tear me a new hole every time I come across them. Like Wasteland Vaal.. guy one shots me sometimes.. so does Dominus.

I've been thinking about exploring this guy's build a bit just to make myself more viable and indestructible. He can also run Aztiri without any deaths, which is something I think is more important than massive aoe, and minor extra damage output.

Uses Devoto's and Iron Will.

Less life, less DPS. He has a Vinktar's flask. Yawn. It's also an Iron Reflexes build.

Some bosses are designed to have oneshot attacks. You'll need to dodge them. If you need to tank up more, you can run different auras instead of the two lighting DPS auras I run most of the time (like PoL and PoF for Atziri).

My build can also do Atziri deathless. Heck, most builds can with skillful play.

Run whatever you want for your build; it's your character. GL with your future endeavors!

Regarding lightning pen - if I remember correctly, it does not go beyond 0% resists? So if a monster has 0% lightning resist, lightning pen does nothing.

Incorrect.

Check the wiki here.

From the wiki:

"Consider a player using a skill with Penetrates 50% Fire Resistance dealing 100 fire damage to an enemy:

If the enemy has +0% Fire resistance
The enemy's resistance will be treated at 50 lower than it is, which in this case will result in an effective -50% fire resistance. The enemy will take 150 fire damage."

Penetration stacks with curses and other things, and is better than curses because it also works vs max res.

Added brief section about planned ascendancy class now that all mara classes have been revealed.

Plan is Juggernaut, taking Undeniable, Unflinching, and Unyielding.

Would the build become much weaker if Lightning Pen is replaced by Item Rarity? I like this build and am trying to figure out how to put on ~200% iir. This is a noob question because I don't understand how a build with ~0%iir can be more profitable than a slower build with 200% iir.

You can totally swap in IIR. You'll lose some damage, but it isn't needed for low level content, and makes higher level stuff take longer. I swap in IIR all the time when I am speed running maps for gem EXP. Dps is nice for PvP and higher level maps.
