I’ll watch more closely but I swear I saw the shield dipping inside the body before bouncing back.
That wouldn’t surprise me, since there’s no body blocking.
hi @boardman21 amazing build as usual! Im just curious how do you use the pastebin lootfilter with the ingame filter? Sorry for the noob question. Thank you

Replace it with something yes. Smite works.
Why are we replacing Ring of Shields again? I watched your video but I dont really understand why
Ring of Shields now require 30 points in Forge Guard, thus Paladins can’t have it.
Paladins can’t use ring of shield anymore.
Its on a list. The list is very long atm 
but yes

@boardman21 , I suspect, you work well on builds, so updating everything is going to take a long time. I am also waiting for the echoing warpath. Thank you to you for also the readability of the explanations, good job
Ok that makes sense. However, my paladin still has it specced so I can still use it surprisingly enough.
Hello reading your build I want to use it, but I just downloaded the game, is this version suitable for the 1 to 75 guide? The English is not good. Sorry
This build is dead , with the new patch you don’t have access anymore at one skill ( ring of shield ) since you need to take paladin as a master . And you absolutely need it to survive in the end game
This is incorrect
Ring of shields is not mandatory.
I will update this build soon. It did lose damage but you can still get capped armor just from shield throw itself
looking forward! btw… do you reckon armour/health to be stronger than hp regen/endurance threshold?
If you can get 80-85% Armor and the blessing leech throwing attack damage its very strong cause you also get endurance on top of it. Havent messed to much with HP regen but id still feel leech is slightly stronger but you gotta farm those blessings.
Still enjoying this build a lot
Managed to get the 4.6% throwing attack leech blessing and 84% armour, 61% block 50% mitigation when everything is stacked…
Could use a little bit more flat health (only 2.1k) but I can essentially ignore most direct hits provided the shield is hitting enough mobs to leech enough back before the next nuke - have to be a little careful on single bosses (stay close) and DoTs (move).
Smite as the replacement for RoS seems to still work perfectly fine…
Lunge changes mean there is a noticeable damage drop from the crit loss, but its still a very powerful build… Tried Javelin in replace of Lunge to see if the throwing damage stacking makes it a good single target skill - but it doesnt seem like it works without going the lightning route which doesnt match with the fire shields…
Not sure if its related to the latest patch, but mana management is a little trickier than I remember - to the point where you have to have the mana reduction rings… especially if you hope to have Sigils maxed and active and still be able to attack.

Would you say this is still usable/workable in current patch just with lower ceiling?
