Anyone got some Ideas for my Shieldbreaker?

Hello bois,

So I play this atm : https://www.grimtools.com/calc/d2j9LenN

I thought about doing a complete post about the Build because I feel like its really strong, I am a campaign only player and I facetanked like Madqueen, Kubacabra and other Nemesis with this one with ease, but I just recently started grinding my way up SR and I am on Shard 50 now, starting to struggle a bit (Only on the “Bossfights” at the end of the Shard.

I tried some devotions out and I am not sure if I will stick with this one I use currently.

So I would appreciate any help with this Build and also one question. Is the differents between Shard 50 and like 75-76 extreme? Like is it alot harder?

Thanks everyone. :slight_smile:

i have very sad news man… go all retal devotions, stack fire retal on gear… and you will deal X2.5 more damage on melee and shield throw… and its cheap tankier than dmg spec and deals more dmg than offensive spec :slight_smile:

Well, thanks for the answer but I really wanted to improve this build, not just trash it and go for retalation. I dont even know how retal works and how to build it up. But thanks.

You have a nice Fire build here, and it seems fun to play :slight_smile:

Minor changes I would make (from the link above):

  • Devo: full giant isn’t that great I think (you already have lifesteal from revenant) and you could get jackal+scholar instead. And I took Eel with the remaining points in the Crossoads.
    Linked Devo Procs: Elemental Storm on Guardian of Empyrion; Meteor on RF/V’sM; Eldritch on your easy AoE ability (Flashbang).
  • Skill points: 10/16 on ThM to maximise RR; 9/10 on Smite for max 25% chance; 11/16 Vindictive Flame to maximise Attack Speed.
  • I vastly prefer Vire’s Might over Judgment: more mobility, easier for constellation proc and less CD.
  • Equipment: maybe, if the build is defensively strong enough, Blazing Relic (Demo). Cinderscorn may be an option to consider.

This is just my subjective opinion, not a list of facts.

Thank you! I will take a look and try it out. And yea its really fun to play and its doing a good job. Again the question maybe you did not see it, is there a huge differents between Shard 50 and 75-76 ? I feel like its getting almost impossible now for this build.

Hi,

This is my version of Shieldbreaker although it is mostly theoretical for now, only level 70 and missing most of the set and the correct green weapon.

Looks like yours but with less armor :(. But maybe you could consider changing the weapon ? I think there are some relevant bonuses to be had. I have a level 70 version with 24% attack speed and 11% ADctH, and they are relatively easy to farm.

I feel like the one you are using is not really an upgrade, because my attack speed is maxed and I think my life steal is enough, I will maybe try this out https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12479 next. But thanks tho:)
