[R.I.P.] life Mjolner done right by Rico - Juggernaut version - R.I.P. thx to "balancing" policy

I've always wanted to play around Mjolner and i missed the "meta" of it because it was too expensive back then... And i gotta say, now that i can afford it it feels incredible, it's so much fun to play this build i'd put it right behind KB wander in 2nd place :D Currently lvl 87 and it feels so tanky and does a lot of dmg especially with RF up and i don't even have "curse on hit ele weaknes" gloves yet which will give crazy deeps. I played in a group and it felt amazing being the tank while everyone else just dies randomly...

The only thing i'll mention is it took me about 700+ chromes to get the colors on the chest, maybe i was unlucky but keep that in mind :D

I'll keep playing it cause i'm not even a tiny bit bored of the build yet. Thank you very much for the detailed guide!!!

You're welcome :)

The "problem" with this build (in ma case at least) it that I can barely play anything else. Since the "open beta" the only builds that I somewhat enjoyed outside of Mjolner were:

1) Dual Spork Totem Witch (nerfed)
2) Bringer of Rain max block Duelist (nerfed)
3) Ele crit LA Ranger with Windripper (slightly nerfed)
4) Pathfinder BV (nerfed)
5) Low life SRS (slightly nerfed)
6) CI Incinarate (nerfed)
7) HoWa (nerfed)
8) Voltaxic Poison Ranger with Blast Rain (nerfed)
9) Ele crit BFlury Inquisitor
10) Phys Poison BFlury Shadow (nerfed)

And even when having those I was coming back to Mjolner because I love how it plays.

i dont understand the iron will gloves? wouldn't it make sense to put the rf setup in the iron will gloves? and that would just improve rf's damage? is that even worth?

i replaced with surgebinders.

You dont understand because you didnt read the in-depth mechanics in the guide. Iron Will from that gloves is GLOBAL. It applies to every spell, no mather where it is socketed.

Lucky you, took me almost 2500.

Yep, Repentance give us ballpark like what, +80% spell damage, the closet you could come otherwise would be a perfect roll Doedre's Tenure at 60% but they are low lv, only have a small ES so youd lose 20% damage, and a big chunk of mitigation.

And ya, coloring 3R 3G on Kingsguards is always murder, ive colored 2 different ones that combo, it always takes me about 1,500 chromes each. I have a 6L 3R/3G on sale atm on abyss, I finally found a perfect 170/170 armor 90/90 life 67/70 mana Kingsguard.

I grabbed a cheap 5 link prophecy and put that on, when the old 6L sells ill get a fated connections and 6L it.

Well... I bough 5l 6s with right colors and than 6-linked it. Took me 258 fuse to do so.

But right now I recolored it to 2g 4r to do some testing with different gem setup on my Inquisitior :P

I have two Kingsguards one is 5 linked and another is 6 linked. I was following JCOH35's character closely as it seems he is fulled invested in the build. But I noticed he switched to a 5 link and I'm curious is there any reason not to use a 6 link setup with Culling Strike added in? Also if anyone could look at my character and let me know where I could greatly benefit from upgrades minus lab enchant on helm. Thanks in advance.

Rico / team,

Quick Question. Does Mjölner % increased lightning damage with attack skills affect discharge damage?

I got a great deal on a +2 weapon range Mjölner but it has lower % lightning damage with attack skills. I believe that does not affect discharge dps but wanted to verify.

Thanks again.

It does not, it only affects attacks, not spells.
