Hi, thanks for sharing ur build.

It's a good build but im feel so squishy, sometimes im dying so fast, i'm really interested by more defensive build.

Other thing, i'm really dont understand how fortify and shield charge work, i feel this work 1 time on 10 ... sometimes just for fun i only shield charge mobs, and, nothing ... so strange.

Here my stuff at lvl 78 (200k+ dps full buff) :

I think its not a bad stuff.

If you have the time to make this build mode defensive, i take it with pleasure.

Btw, its really easy to leveling this build and work fine ATM, just need to be more defensive (for me), i know attack and big damage is like a defence, and maybe my level 78 is too low for see how the build shine.

Thanks demopolos =)

Hey man!

Your level (and perhaps the order that you picked nodes in the tree), combined with not having fortify up as is often needed, might account for the squishy feel.

Keep in mind that you only get fortify if you directly hit an enemy with shield charge. This means that if you charge into the area, you aren't hitting anything. I put shield charge on left click and click directly on mobs, and... seems like I get fortify 100% of the time?

You're right that your gear isn't bad; it's solid.

For the tankiest version of the build:
-Use BM version (more nodes available for defense, even though you don't get AoE gem in 6L)
-Use lightning coil instead of carcass and balance res around it
-Work in topaz flask to setup for overcap lightning res(possibly in place of atziri flask)
-Pick up all life/armour/block nodes laid out in my BM tree, before getting the more mediocre offensive nodes (i.e. the 5 % speed/10 % physical damage nodes)
-Drop enhance on blood rage, and move cwdt to a 4L and add enfeeble
-swap the herald prolif 4L out for: enlighten - herald of ash - hatred - determination ***this is a big shift, will reduce clear speed substantially while giving huge buff to armour***

I would recommend moving things around in tree to get as much of the defense as possible, and practicing shield charge/fortify upkeep and flask management before making the big changes to the build. You will be getting a lot more life as you level!

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you've got any more questions!

Never if you use the wrong links! :)

You are using concentrated effect in your herald of ash 4L, in place of AoE. You want the aoe to be bigger, not smaller!

Your damage will go up exponentially as you level, given things like lvl 1 cyclone that you are using. At 100k, with the right 4L, I think it starts feeling really good.
