Is witchblade the best class for retaliation build?

I know a witchblade that made Ravager kill itself in 5 minutes due to the boost from bloody pox’s fevered rage. Fevered rage seems ridiculously good with retaliation build because more mobs hit = more damage reflected.

Any opinion on this?

I was looking at that myself, - damage and defence through the Soldier side with Occultist magic; but I have decided to go with a Defiler because I like having pets / summons and plain fighters always seem to be a waste of time, except for people who are completely lacking in imagination or who simply cannot be bothered with anything fancy. I have not used Fevered Rage, though, so I cannot comment on how effective it is.

Yes, I posted that build and I can say that it’s very hard to compete with how fevered rage speeds things up.

What about itemisation? Any weakness of the build?

Warder seems very good to stay alive but i find damage lacking, especially against range mobs.

Edit: i noticed some resist is very low, will this be a problem? or do you have other ways to cap it?

Because you don’t care about nomal resists vs ravager unless it’s % physical.

I also have full armor components and health augments. In vanilla you switch to resists and solve the problem:)

Don’t do warder. If you don’t want witchblade you are better off with commando(posted that too (use Dwanbreaker shoulders and shiled on thet too, need to update), or tactician.

Warder is ok too but meh

All you need is this to make retaliation a fun build to play.
