Wear Octavius to win!
Octavius has become another Justicar. What Octavius does in physical S&B builds now is just like what Justicar does in fire S&B builds.
Octavius set (3 pieces: shield, chest armor and helm) provides a huge amount of global flat trauma damage and shield flat trauma damage, which probably should have been modifiers to Aegis, making it easy to have over 10k shield trauma. Some specific builds can even have 16k shield trauma. So what we really need to do is find a %WD skill for shield, and guarantte enough crit. Then Oathkeeper would be the best class.
Octavius together with Oathkeeper has provided sooooo much stats that we need little supplement from another class, so the second class can be whatever.
The Template
Select affix to stack % damage and resists and OA.
For relic: if the second class is Soilder, use Doom. Others use Serenity.
For weapon: if the second class provides attack speed, use Totally Normal Shield. Others use Sandclaw Slice or Bargoll’s Root.
For amulets: if the second class does not have a good Damage Reduction skill, use Conduit of Divine Whispers. Others use Azrakaa’s Sands, Averger of Cairn or Peerless Eye of Beronath.
Then you will easily get over 10k trauma on shield, 60+% crit damage, over 3300 OA, and good trauma duration. Just smash everthing!
I’ve done all 8 combinations sub 6 SR 75-76 runs and a friend of mine could even do 4:10.
