3.2 || Hybrid 11.2k EHP, 54k Armour, 74/54 block, Aegis Aurora.... AND decent DPS



INTRODUCTION



Hello,
this is my Character for Beastiary League and it is performing amazingly good.

The build revolves around stacking as much strenght as possible to increase Damage/HP/ES by insane amounts. Thanks to nearly max block/huge armour this character can basicly facetank everything.

I pretty much completed all content with it, except for uber Elder. But i'm sure it is possible as well.

SKILL TREE


Scion

Passives

Bandit:Eramir for 2 Passives



SKILL TREE EXPLANATION


Ascendancy choices:
- Chieftain: obvious choice, 10% strenght and 20% more fire damage against rare/unique mobs
- Pathfinder: nice DPS boost and Flask sustain
You can try out different choices instead of pathfinder, but i think pathfinder provides the best utility.
Main Focus on strenght/life/elemental damage/jewel sockets.
Keystones:
- Elemental Overload for obvious reasons. (40% more damage)
- Iron Reflexes converts evasion to armour to help scale Aegis Aurora and utilize evasion flasks
- Unwavering Stance for stun immunity, really helpful against endgame bosses



JEWELS


Unique Jewels:
- 3x Reckless Defense for additiional Block/Spell block
- 1 Wildfire for more MS projectiles
- 1 Inertia for strenght-conversion
- 1 Pure Talent for all Stats
- Watchers Eye with block and ES on hit for a lot of extra sustain
Stats you want for rare jewels:
-strenght/life/attack speed/fire damage
