It took me a whole 6 minutes to kill empowered Lagon. You can get more damage out and be just as tanky but I went hard on the tank
6 minutes is not that long plus I pushed to 380 in only 3.5 hours. This doesn’t even take drastic gear. That is the issue.
It requires minimal investment to become a god and If doing 3 to 4 k crits with a 1h isn’t terrible damage.
But if I could get this with high investment with gear that would be better imo.
Yeah, 6 min isn’t long in the grand scheme of things, but dps builds take 1-2 mins so I don’t think a tanky build taking 3-6 times longer is entirely unbalanced.
Yes maybe nerf this on the way that it should cost a little more to have this kind of tankiness but i really wanted to say “Hey you should take a look at mage with their amount of tankiness and dps”
All that to say “dude dont look down on your build this have a kind of balance here” + now i wanna try it on hardcore + masochist
I haven’t tried it on maso but I know a similar build can do really well in HCSSF. Let me know how well you do!. I want to do a tanky spellblade or Sorc not sure which yet.
That would be awesome on them !
And yes this is just an idea im gonna try it but its gonna take a while for me to do so xD
For sure let me know how it turns out!
nice write-up! thanks. What about the weapon- Undisputed. Is it random drop?
The base is a Welryn Axe and can be gambled or dropped
too easy for you… no challenge to create one… a spellblade can fall out of a bed half naked wielding a cigarette butt and still be tanky.
Dang that is serious 
Yes but Pushing it to the extreme like this build cause… we cant say sentinel arent tanky from start too is another thing
That isn’t the part that is unbalanced it is how tanky is is for the little investment 
That’s probably where we disagree then, IMO the balancing factor is that it does kill so much slower than a dps build.
This build specifically but hwat about getting 60% block on a 2h build and scaling block effectiveness at 50% dr. Waht about if I was running higher damage with rive still letting everything hit me and taking not damage I have tested both and know them to work and can push just as far this is the only won I push this high bc it is not fun to me. but the others I mentioned can do the same or more.
Very nice. While this is not high dps one there is also a way to make it deals stupid damage and be almost as tanky. Nerf block
I haven’t played in a while but my AoD lich can phase lagon in about 20 seconds and the entire fight is done in about 1:30
6 minutes is about the time it takes to do a full Sirus Awakening 8 run on POE and he has 4 phases
I have a Sorcerer that can kill Lagon by holding down 1 button and using Flame Ward at the right time you can tank Lagon beam but you need about 5K ward and the dam reduction from Flame Ward up at that right moment or you will snuff it
I dont know about you guys experience but I’ve done some specs with block on 2H.
You spend so many passive points and dedicate all skills to add block %.
You shuld really think about opportunity cost and effectiveness when checking stuff.
Not to mention only pally can MAYBE reach 50% block 2H and that many block pts are “with shield”
“is block OP?”
at the cost of 25+ passives and 5 skills i would say no
“is shield 45% block 2k effectiveness OP?”
2k eff (50% dmg reduction) and 50% block is about a “VERY VIRTUAL 25% dmg reduction”
at the cost of 50-100 flat damage/your prefix of choice by losing a 2H weapon, or think about dual wielding that unique axe once DW will be added (i’d rather call that and all the unique weapons to be the OP thing imo)
So is the standalone shield op compared to 2H or DW axes? i would say no.
It is hard to say without serious DPS graphs, but i’m speculating that you lose 25% or (easily) more dmg to get 25% dmg reduction
And i’m not even comparing block to the 4k perma ward, %life as ward, 1mil crits and all the crazy stuff going on in this game
The numbers are there is can be done and the ladders show 2h none block is significantly underperforming in arena the only way to push builds to their max and limit right now.
I suggest you test and poush the ladder to see the difference is largely so. I am not going to argue my point when The numbers on the ladder show and have video proof. I can make a 2h block build and a high dps block build be just as tanky and probably out push what I did with this build.
55% clock on paladin with a 2h weapon doing 90k on the dummie and still get 50% dr from block effectiveness. you should be able to get this tanky with whis little effort. I literally did nothing, to get this strong that is the point. That is why it needs nerfed you can stand there and be a god for doing nothing.
Edit: Not just paladin either
Nice build Rimed.
I like having a player finally making a build with Shield Bash incorporated. I find it to be a pretty underwhelming as an ability to build around so nice work! You are giving me new inspiration.
