[3.13] Scarfuncle's Shield Charge Impaling Gladiator -Max Block, Great speed, Pack Explosions
|
I'm trying this build out for 3.11 as I once played a facebreaker shield charge build and thoroughly enjoyed it
Only partway through leveling but I've had many melee builds feel much worse to level with by this point. Shield charge felt a little weak until I got a 4L and now it's been very smooth Seed crafting to reroll to defense modifiers is making crafting new yellow shields pretty easy Really enjoying this so far. Thanks! |

Just got to Act 10. Enjoy the build. ramps up once you get 4 links and lab.
Question about the warcry. Your first post says to use Intimidating Cry + Second Wind support, but the pob uses Rallying Cry w/o the support. Should I just swap out Rallying for Intimidating for the following link setup? Intimidating Cry>Leap Slam>Maim>Flesh and Stone or what should I be changing up to fit those 2 gems in? thanks! edit: also. noob question. what in the build adds rage for use with Berserk?

" Very good question - POB doesn't have intimidating cry yet, so Rallying cry is a placeholder. Intimidating cry/second wind/leap slam can be slotted anywhere. Heck, you don't even need second wind. You need flesh and stone and maim - it's really good. We no longer use Berserk - I thought I got rid of all instances of it in the guide. Back in 3.10, a cluster jewel gave us rage. If 3.11 gives us ANY way to reliably generate rage, I will instantly add it to the build. In the meantime, we use intimidating cry. I can't tell how much damage it adds until POB is updated, but I'm betting warcries are going to be super strong and I want to incorporate that meta into this build (like I did with rage last league), especially since we are so close to all the warcry nodes. |

" Thanks for the reply! I'll be charging on! |

Also I'm curious how you have the mana reserve for Dread Banner + Blood&Sand + F&S + Haste w/Second Wind support. The second wind support with haste seems to put me over when I try this combo out.

I'm only in act 4 but the clear speed and movement speed is phenomenal. I've temporarily paired Shield Charge with Dash and Leap Slam. I use Dash to reposition myself and get better damage for Shield Charge and Leap Slam to clear any annoying pits or ledges. Really solid as a leveling build IMO.
I'm running Clarity, Dread Banner, Blood & Sand, and Vulnerability linked with Blasphemy Support. Really upped the damaged and I never run out of mana either. |

" he might be using haste for the vaal effect and not actually using normal haste with mana res and give himself massive speed buff for warchief and himself |
|
" Ah! Totally didn't notice it was a vaal haste! good call! So I guess the question is if it's better to run Pride/Haste w.o the second wind support aura all map Or run vaal haste w/second wind and just focus it on bigger kills thanks! |
|

This is correct, I'm using Vaal haste because I have an extra green slot right now. I'll stop using it soon, but it's a good boost.
