I don't think I'm really following the guide anymore, but the guide is how I started a couple leagues ago. Here is where I'm at this league.

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to see what all I can use from this for updating the PT version. I swear you need a PhD in this game to remember every little piece of it.

I’m bringing the gladiator back. We’re gonna get down like it’s Scourge league again.

Hey man i want to league start this and i was looking into the POB, when you leveled with shield crush, did u still use the leveling 85 passives, or did u level with the respec tree?

Hey,

Love the build especially this league with the buffs.
However when i juice a little i feel a little squishy right now.

Can anyone check my character from settlers tyvm :)

My guess would be that you have low chaos resistance or you don't have complete elemental ailment immunity. If you're using Solaris as your major pantheon, I'd really recommend getting all the extra bits of the pantheon to help with critical strikes.

Grabbing something like a fractured resistance boots (chaos res would be best) would work the best, and you can use Loathing essences to get the ailment immunity on them along with another resistance modifier. Crafting on movement speed is fine.

Thanks a lot

It's only on T17 and extra juiced maps otherwise this build is really good
Hope you will update it next season too ^^

Hello there.

I was trying to understand the build so I know what I am working with, and stumbled upon 3 things I am curious about:

-how do you generate frenzy? I see you took "1 max frenzy charge" and the flask that consumes frenzy, but cant see anything else for it.

-why a sword? is the stats from a sword just better for the build? or is it for the accuracy? (i know the accuracy from the sword doesn't count to resolute technique, but is it just for general use?) Wondering how flexible the weapon slot is for crafted weapons.

-what do you run on your flask? (white text, such as "charge on hit, use when full, etc")

Thanks so much for the build and i cant wait to try it out later on!

For Frenzy charges, you run Blood Rage for maps. For bossing, you can swap out a few skill points to get the Sword mastery for 'frenzy charge on hit' if you really want to. Most of the time you won't REALLY need this, though.

A sword is used for the % accuracy rating, as its a global increase. Prismatic Technique is mostly BIS because of the 30% attack speed you get from it. It can only be beaten by a specific Crusader 1H Sword with AS while Fortified, Impale Effect, and Double Damage chance (normal or focus is fine)

For Flasks, prefixes are always gain charges on it. It gives virtually permanent uptime in maps. For suffixes, I run the immunity to Freeze (no pantheon) > shock > ignite in that order. After getting full elemental ailment avoidance, you can run things like reduced curse effect, increased armor/evasion, etc. It's pretty open on what you choose to do.

You don't NEED enlighten for the skill gems, but we have the space and its very helpful. Grabbing Seasoned Swordplay wheel will pretty much have the same effect as Enlighten if you also want Herald of Purity. In my opinion (minus Uber fights) once you get to ~20M DPS then you're set for most general content. Just make sure to mind the phys taken as X element mods!
