I have never been able to get into the rogue playstyle in LE. Does anyone have a build that isn’t dodge focused?
Everything I have seen since season 1 has built around dodge as the main defense layer and I think that is why I not enjoying it.
You could try going low life Blade Master using Architects of Astral Blood and the Death’s Door Passive in Blade Master tree that give a flat 24% damage reduction. Then you just stack health and armor. You can even add blade shield from the shuriken tree for even more armor.
My Shadow Rend Hybid Build also goes for fairly high hit damage reduction layering armor with glancing blows, and 20% damage reduction while moving. It uses ward on shadow creation affixes to generate thousands of ward on top of a life build. It also has 50% to 70% dodge but you don’t fall apart when you get hit.
I will check it out. Thanks
Do you think it will work with apostacy node?
I would say once you hit monoliths and get a doppleganger set Apostacy becomes a waste defensively. On my build I currently maintain 30 to 40 + stacks of dusk shroud which equals 150% to 200% glancing blow chance. The fact that I sit on a static 50% glancing blow chance is already wasteful but I like to have a strong base to work with just in case a few stacks start to fall off. Apostacy is fine early game though when you can’t cap your glancing blow chance as easily.
