This is a build I have been very keen to try as my first, self-made build that I could see to being relatively strong in Crucible.
Would appreciate it if someone who knows what they are doing can analyze my build and maybe help with some improvements if needed.
The goal I’m trying to achieve with this build is to have decent defenses and moderate damage to be able to facetank most crucible content. The sustain is not reliant on health regeneration as I’m opting for lifesteal as a viable way to gain life and a maxed Wendigo Totem (around 28%~ HP every 0.5 secs). This build can consistently reduce vitality resistance by up to 126% and further with the current ring (crit reliant).
I am aware that the items I have in my build are relatively hard to obtain, however I am prepared to farm for them.
My most pressing question would be:
How good is 3400-3600 DA? I don’t know how good my chance to be hit would be.
You could do with more Offensive Ability. Some ways to increase it I can suggest are:
You’re missing an augment on your amulet in your grimtools link.
Consider swapping Harbinger of Souls for Master of Death.
Replace the Sacred Plating on your chest with a Chains of Oleron and get the
Swap out Uroboruuk’s Reaping for Solael’s Decimation unless you really need/want the +1 to Necromancer.
I’d also drop the points in Savagery or at least shift them over to Tenacity of the Boar. Drop the 1 points in Reaping Strike/Necrotic Edge.
Edit: You will probably also want more Stun resistance. Consider putting a Leathery Hide onto your headgear. The first node of Empty Throne adds another 15% if you can manage it.
I can’t find a source of flat resist reduction in your build either unless I’m missing something :undecided:. If so, you might want to consider fitting in a source somewhere such as Acid Spray or from the Black Star of Deceit medal.
With 1500 armor (87% absoption only), 30% stun res and only 6 phys resist i seriously don’t see how you can get past Iron Maiden. MoT with 25% cdr + Ulzuin Pact will help, but i don’t think it’s enough.
I have noticed and taken that into account, I would just need to test out the current build I have to see if the DA and lifesteal are good enough or I may just die. Seems as though NOT being a Soldier sucks too :undecided:
Yeah I overlooked the Acid Spray devotion, I may remove the Wendigo to allow some points into that or the Throne. This build barely gets by on max resistances. I really rate the skill change Harbringer to Master of Death, I may sacrifice the little dps on my main hand to increase DA and OA. I overlooked that ability because of the pet bonuses. Dropping Savagery is a decent idea too. I used a Runebound Topaz on the amulet, doesnt show up online for some reason.
