This is a very simple build. After some buffs and tweaks to mobs’ resists&armor and buffs to ZT I finally decided to make a revision of my good old Avenger Warder. And I’m pretty satisfied by the results.

BUILD EXPLANATION

  • Avenger’s set - core of the build;
  • Bloodrager’s helm/amulet - for extra WD for Savagery, mastery bonuses and 10% AS;
  • Rings - 1 with RR, another for just very good stats;
  • Medal - probably the best medal for phys 2handers now.
  • Boots - phys res, trap res, nice proc.

PROS AND CONS OF THE BUILD

PROS

  • Very simple and very sturdy build, good for anyone;
  • Nice damage and survivability.

CONS

  • No cons cuz it’s WARDER.

BUILD’S PERFORMANCE

LOKARR

AVATAR OF MOGDROGEN

RAVAGER OF MINDS

CRUCIBLE

SHATTERED REALM - can complete SR90 but some enemies are super-tough (like shattered Marcell or Gargaban). SR85 is rather easy, SR75-76 can be done w/o any issues.

Special thanks to all Safarel Discord Community.

bladetwister is a huge mistake here. elemental conversion works before lightning one. and proc is quite bad.

Nice one, but may I ask you why you didn’t give just 1 points to blinside and get 170 DA shred?

#4

you can easily drop WT for Crucible and invest those points in Blindside and FH, e.g.

#5

You can also remove 5 points from Upheaval and spend those points in somewhere else and Blinside. You only lose %20 weapon damage from it which only affects AoE.

#6

thanks, mate, my bad.
already changed it!

#7

I just checked it right now. Test char, brute force, avenger mace, bladetwister - no pierce.

I have like 54 flat pierce in Savagery with Bladetwister but it seems really insignificant. The only way it’s obviously worse is proc as it has huge CD.

#10

That flat pierce from Crab, i guess.

#11

I prefer Myth Lapis Lupus for amulet slot (that proc is a beast), however its a matter of choice.

This build is quite strong and has absurd damage. But the survivability mostly comes from leech which is plenty.

Can do SR75+ quite easily. Need to make sure I dont pull too many mobs and need to avoid all the debuffs (freeze, slow, fumble, etc.) that prevent you from hitting. I cant hit something I die haha because no leech.

can confirm that this build literally walks through sr75-76
Seems that the crappy RR doesnt matter when you have such absurd dps

Does a well-rolled Rylok medal outdo the Beast Slayer’s Mark now that it has %WD to Savagery?

#18

This also works. I’m planning to use it.

#19

it does but atm I’m too lazy to update this build

#20

to be honest, you can slap the new OP Korvaak medal on every- f**king- Fire Strike/Savagery builds without even know the dam type your builds are. The 15% WD mod/ 6% life leech/ good OA/ bonus atk speed- Its just ridiculous
