This is update for my old tank build [1.0.0.7] based on Commando class, and one of the most oldest characters I have (I guess the second one that was created more than two years ago). I really love this meditative build, and wanna share it with all players who love soft meditative type of game. As I told before in first build review, Infernal Healer - is a tanky-aura-caster build based on demolitionist offensive skills and huge regeneration, with full resist overcap. This is universal build that plays from both hands. For more defensive game you need one handed Herald of Blazing Ends plus shield, and for more damage swich to two handed Shar’Zul Worldeater.

Gameplay: In use many keys and skills, so gameplay requires many actions to do damage, but slow tempo of game, makes it not so bad at all. You can farm Lokarr and Wendigo with required setup in solo game and in multiplayer. Also no problems with farming and facetanking Crucible Gladiator to 150+ wave, after wave 151 will be little bit harder, but I did it without any health potions. This is universal build, so you can use 2h SharZul’s Worldeater for more DPS and fast monster kill, and swich to 1h + shield when you need to be more tanky. Huge resist overcap grants powerful defense against foes RR, and you will always get only 20-11% of incoming damage. No fear to try hardcore game by this build :mad:. All skills and procs requires fast cast speed that grants nice scaling of burn damage, thermite mine and blackwater cocktail works as RR and nice offensive skills. Also I use with 1h weapon - Kymon’s Wrath Tincture (Potion) that gives us extra burn damage (if needed). In critical situations you can always activate Overguard that increases health regeneration, and Blast Shield that can work in battle from time to time. With Justicators signets you will get a great proc that gives bonuses to OA and DA and also life regeneration.

Gear. This build requires some MI’s but you can change them on any other similar to that I showed here, with same suffixes and affixes or similar to them. If you want same MI’s be ready to farm it for years, haha. This shoulders and shield I was searching for a half of year, and finally my friends helped me to find shield in BoC, and shoulders was traded in multiplayer (big thanks to my friends for that help). The main point here: MI’s must have some bonuses to life regeneration, as this is the strongest thing in this build, that negates a lot of incoming damage. Other items not so hard to find or trade in multiplayer, but if its possible and you have some recipe, you can get best result + armor bonus from Angrim the Blacksmith. Using old Avenger of Cairn help my friends in multiplayer who plays by retaliation builds (because it gives aura), but you can use better version on level 94. And for 2h setup you need SharZul’s Worldeater that also not so easy to farm or trade.
A few words about Wendigo fight setup. You must understand that this battle requires good physical resist, or you will not survive under such powerful hits. So here you will need to swich two items in build, gloves: Mythical Colossal Grasp, and shield: Impassable Colossal Bulwark of Barricades. Better shield with physical resist you have, easier battle will be. There are no problems with find so kind of MI’s, go and kill some Aetherial Titans around Malmouth, easy thing I will say. Or you can try to buy few shields from rare trader in Malmouth. The battle in multiplayer will be easy, we farmed him by commando + conjurer + sorcerer really fast. But in solo, don’t wait easy fight. After his health goes below 50% his damage increases significantly. Only a good control of skills CD, will help to successfully complete the fight and not die. In my case, I made mistakes during the fight, but killed him anyway. Also Courageous Tincture will be useful thing, so buy few in Homestead. Other potions to increase regeneration, you can craft at the blacksmith.
ITEMS:
- Head: Mythical Mask of Infernal Truth
- Shoulders: Ancient BennJahr’s Shoulderguards of Menhir’s Wall
- Chest: Mythical Voidforged Battle Plate \ or good Mi’s
- Legs: Mythical Hellforged Legplates
- Boots: Stonehide Stoneplate Greaves of Kings
- Gloves: Mythical Wyrmbone Handguards \ Mythical Colossal Grasp
- Waist: Mythical Ulzuins Torment \ Mythical Sash of the Immortal Sage
- Medal: Mythical Mark of Divinity
- Amulet: Avenger of Cairn
- Relic: Ulzuins Pyroclasm
- Weapon: Mythical Herald of Blazing Ends \ 2h Shar’Zul Worldeater
- Shield: Keeper’s Obsidian Bulwark of Immortality \ Impassable Colossal Bulwark of Barricades
- Ring: Mythical Open Hand of Mercy
- Ring: Mythical Closed fist of Vengeance
Devotion map from level to level:
First of all you should take Dryads Blessing than go to Lizard, take a Viper, Scholars Light and Giants Blood on 3 points, after that you can take other Devotions to Tree of Life, and the last one goes Light of Empyrion.
I made a comparison due my Crucible wars between this build and some other top builds from forum, still this build has a good score result because there is no difference if you kill “Groble” with 20k of damage or with 200k of damage he will die anyway, so the difference in killing speed is same. But when you fight with nemesis it tooks much more time. Also after wave 100 you will need at least one level:3 fire tower, and level:2 lighting tower - reasons? Iron Maiden’s: Menhir’s Will, that restores her a lot of health, and battle can be really long… I hope someone who seeks facetank builds to his collection, will be happy to have this one too. Hope this build will help players that really hate to die many times or play at hardcore.
