Why does everyone that run the natures avenger build use those exact two rings now, as opposed to judicators seals? Its not a critique, its an honest question. You only lose 2% physical RR and get way more DA/OA. The resists are pretty much the same except you get poison res instead of bleed.
Also wouldnt it be better to swap the skills on assassins mark and blind fury? Since its duration of assassins mark is so long, you dont have to proc it that often, but having blind fury on savagery means it procs when anything crits.
I run mine closer to what Buddhakingpen is talking about. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/Q2znPPR2
Once everything starts running I find the sustain from the health regen outweighs using any other ring combination
You get way more OA/DA when you kill something, which isn’t a guarantee on SR boss chunks or the tougher crucible waves. On top of that, you lose 200% physical damage, which is a real big chunk when you account for how much armor can take off. Also, poison resist is much more valuable than bleed.
To Smithersons point, I find taking dryad node + heart of the wild kinda means you dont have to worry about either poison or bleed resists. But I also run a different devotion setup than op. I still prefer judicator ring setup, tested both and it just works out much smoother imo
i have tried this build with the -15% conduit even and against some enemies it struggles but im surprised still at the results its not bad. But there are examples where this one really struggles particularly in more difficult bossrooms in SR
That’s true, with Avenger of Cairn and +maximum resistances from it you can take almost 2x less damage from aether as example which matters a lot in deepest shards. It’s currently best amulet you can get for soldier class if you go for record
It’s also nice to have another source of damage reduction except war cry like Vire or Empyrion devotion, even with Warborn helmet to avoid one shots.
Mark of kalastor looks like a very interesting pick. Since everyones sharing their builds and i’ve been picking apart what I do and dont like about them, i figure its fair to share mine. I’m looking for improvements as well https://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNY5wDrN
Really it just feels good knowing that 1 point in devouring swarm can do 70% phys RR. You guys do make that avenger amulet sound enticing though. Esp considering my builds weakness to aether damage. In reality I have 0 points in spirit, because my helmet is a lie. They dont have my roll on grimtools, so i just went with what looked good lol. In actuality the helmet rolled with a crap ton of spirit (+71 spirit +4% spirit). Now that i know i can roll another battle cry though i’m gonna be hunting these helmets for a while.
There are many good candidates for medals. I decided to abandon the 24/16 savagery and go more defensive.
10% Armor (crafted with Angrim), 100OA, good resistance, and proc.
In my setup, the Armor value is over 3500 with Non proc. By adjusting the constellation, more than 4000 is possible. Mark of kalastor was good overall.
However, even if you stack that much Armor, if there is no Avenger proc, some Boss will kill me with one shot, so it may not make much sense.
-% RR Stack important, but I simply hate casting devouring swarms.LOL
