[1.1.6.2] Warder in Avenger + health regeneration. 90 SR, Ravager, Avatar, 150-170 1 baff + 1 banner

Try Google Translate - seems Google’s improved it considerably, since now it makes Russian to English translations good enough that it’s very understandable.

Nice build!

I like your gear choices, Avenger of Cairn amulet is rarely picked for non retal builds, here is nice defensive boost. Also interesting devotion map with Tree of Life and Vire. Honestly it’s first time seeing Vire on non-shield build. I tried some time ago Avenger but with Giant’s Blood, Tree of Life seems better fit, since most physical devotions are in blue/yellow corner.

2h warder still relevant I see, always inspiring to see other players building around HP Regen! Going to link this thread in another where the OP is asking for help on what class would go best with his level 34 Shaman that cant make it through Elite- this will give him a great example to follow!

Thank you for sharing!

Hi, very nice build with good results. Can i ask why no warcry? You could use the RR and the damage reduction mod? Ofc not maxed coz lack of points. Seeing the results you dont need it but wouldnt it be beter?

Look at the devotion procs

Yea i know physical damage rd. Thats okayish. Lots of physical dmg ingame. But its not all damage. And extra rr-shredding is no small thing

You need only one source of flat RR and Alex have devotion Scales. In my Markovian Warlord also skipped War Cry.

ofc, didnt notice break morale is flat rr. They should make that % based RR! Thx for pointing it out.

It is impossible, War Cry is not a ticking skill

Been skipping war cry as well on my favorite https://www.grimtools.com/calc/b28xM532. I think health regen is seriously underrated.

Yes it is a lot underrated by the Crucible crowd. If you have 500+ HP/s it is felt on the build and 1000+ more is really good.

I have always championed HP regen in my own personal experiences with the game, such a fun mechanic to build around in this game with all the layered defenses and circuit breakers!

It’s not just underrated by the cruci crowd. It simply does not work well there. It’s more viable in SR.

AlexGoldFish you might have fun with these tweaks to the devotions.

More procs to play with. Lost the ever beloved Kraken to make the build but makes up for it elsewhere. Ulzaad is also lost. Ulzaad is ok but not as strong as it would seem with all it’s downtime.

Also one point in Blindside for Blitz to hit up to 8 instead of 3 for better proc’ing and stronger Blitz. One point to Counterstrike so your strong physical damage can work more when being hit in melee. Lost two points in Military Conditioning to pay for those but still improve to 19k+ HP.

The procs might take some experimenting to get on the right skills for your play style but they’d help net higher damage. Maul, Bull Rush, and Shifting Sands would bring increased Life Steal every time you’d use Savagery, Blitz, and Doomforce. Maul is probably best in regards to Savagery for Life Steal but there are other considerations. You have enough strong abilities for them all in what ever combination you prefer. Anyway, these are things to consider but I also like your current concept as it is!

PS I made a small change to the devotions (lost Sailor’s Guide for Lizard). It alters a few things slightly with the chief benefit being increased regen.

Also, here is an alternative if Kracken and Ulzaad are more strongly desired than Shifting Sands.

First off thanks for the build!

The stats in your screenshot are in combat right?

I am at ~2900 OA, ~2600 DA ~130k dps and ~ 2500 armor while out of combat with pretty much the same build and only minimal tweaks that should not make any difference (at least not that big)

have you tried those different devotions? if you did what is your opionion in them?

I don’t have a Warden or character similar enough right now to test and compare that combination of skills for a character like his. I know the devotions except for Shifting Sands (and several other forgotten god devotions). I included devotion combinations that skipped Shifting Sands in case it didn’t fit the character but the other devotions do and it should too.

Bull Rush is OK. I wouldn’t build a character around it but it’s a solid support damage skill. It fits a physical damage build well and we don’t have to go out of the way to pick it up with these builds. We also have attacks that are used regularly that don’t currently have a proc so we don’t have to do anything differently to benefit from it. It’s bonus damage. It also picks up some base life steal since it has some weapon damage.

Maul fits well with the OP’s weapon skill build as a physical damage character too. I like it better than Ulzaad though opinions may vary. Considering the OP’s current physical damage percentage bonus Ulzaad nets less damage counting in it’s cooldown time. Maul is more consistent damage (I dislike most procs that have significant downtimes). Maul has a good amount of weapon damage to allow a high percentage of his life steal to work with it. The stun doesn’t hurt against mobs that can be stunned and it’s area affect helps increase trash clear rate.

I use Maul on my Avenger Warder. I like it. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/aZqP0m8V

Wolfshoes I see you are going with more resistance debuff. How’s the Manticore proc working out?
