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

Umm, life is too low for end game? Many things can do over 5k dmg? I have been waiting for this guide but I guess I have to look for another one.

The things that can one shot you that I know of in the whole game are Palace Dominus Touch of God, Core Malachai slam, Shaper slam, uber atziris vaal lameblast. Rest is tankable with just over 5k life and those kind of defences like high max resistances, fortify with increased effect and flasks. Im not sure about uber atziri Spear thou. Theres still option to go heavy in armor with grace if needed, capping cold resistance will be pain in the ass then.

Was just taking a look at your new setup. You don't have any aura nodes on the tree are you planning on just using enlighten for the auras and adding blood magic to your charge/leap?

I've been going back and forth on my cwdt setups. I kind of like a max lvl cwdt - IC - inc dur - golem but then I have to waste a second set for a low lvl BV setup.

I will be runing all 3 puritys with enlighten yes. Cyclone with blood magic, leap slam and shield charge are fine on mana. I will also revisit grace with iron reflexes at some point, droping PoI and spending some pointy on the tree, however currently I dont think it is worth it especially with some additional phys dmg reduction moved into pantheon system.

Hmm ok you must have a bit more mana on gear. I would need a 3 enlighten to have enough left. Have you thought about incorporating a curse at all? I've got enfeeble on my lvl 1 cwdt right now but I was considering doing a poor man's blasphemy (cwdt - bv - CoH - curse).

Why just dont use cwdt-bv-curse-inc duration? You dont want it to be reflected or smtg?

So that I can use a lvl 20 curse with a lvl 1 cwdt. It would be applied more consistently as well to everything BV touches.

Good point.

EDIT: Btw if I drop Devoto and use decent rare helmet with T1 life roll and T1 cold resistance roll I can reach 6k life with the build while also dropping PoI and using blasphemy setup in that place.


EDIT2: With a rare helmet with T1 life roll and T1 cold res roll I would go with following gem setup:

1) Helmet: Cyclone - FA - Fortify - Blood Magic
2) 5l, 6sox Kingsguard: PoF - PoL - Enlighten - 20/20 Blasphemy - Enfeeble, Righteus Fire
3) Saffels: Leap Slam - Shield Charge - FA
4) Repentance: High lvl Immortal Call setup
5) Inyas boots: Low lvl Immortal Call setup or something else


So I think currently BIS helmet is a good rare as it opens up lots of options and its definitely the best choice for very end-game with 6k life pool and enfeeble via 20 quality blasphemy.

Added above info to the guide.

Pretty sure this is the route I'm going. I like devoto's but it forces me to spend jewels on resists rather than dmg and lose a lot of life. I'm rather fond of my life on hit in the 5L though so I'll probably waste some slots for the blasphemy enlighten setup or just spend the 2pts to get 4% reduced.

I mean you can very easily shift into high life if you choose. Means sacrificing DPS like all builds. Drop Flow untethered and get a corrupted rare belt with 100+ life. Drop repentance, grab rare gloves with 90+ life. Drop Devoto's, grab a 90+ life helm. Drop a jewel node, ias or accuracy nodes in the tree, grab more life.

You basically have 3 slots to play around with if you want more life - helm, gloves, belt. Can sacrifice all 3, just 2, or just 1 depending on how much life you want and how much damage you want to sacrifice.

This kind of kingsguard mjolner build plays optimally at around 5k-5.8k life imo. However, you can very easily get 6.5k-7.5k life if you choose to sacrifice some damage.
