We use ancestral totems to buff our attack speed and flat damage, and also anoint 'Panopticon' for better effects of our Totem buffs. In tandem with above, Attack Speed gives us faster Leap Slam movement, faster shield hits, and faster Impale triggering when we attack.Īncestral Protector + Ancestral Warchief: The shotgun effect also counts as two hits, which makes stacking and triggering Impale even faster. Using Impale is best because we can trigger Impale stacks easily and effectively due to our speed. Effective HP is simulated through elemental resistances in the Configuration > Custom Modifiers section. We can take some pretty heavy hits assuming everything is up, and Determination can make our Armor Threshhold even larger if you would like to be more defensive. We do not have to take damage from the hit to consider being hit. Remember, we are still HIT even if we BLOCK the hit. We get up to 60% block and 50% spell block through Versatile Combatant on Gladiator with no additional investment on gear. We can also use life gain on block to get health back when we do block. We also get the ability to ignore enemy physical damage reduction on block. We still need Mana Leech for CWDT Vulnerability trigger (before Vulnerability ring) and Totems. It is entirely optional to use Lifetap or Pulverise - I prefer Pulverise for more aoe. We utilize Lifetap to make Leap Slamming really easy, and to give us a nice damage buffer early on before we get our cluster jewel to ignore most mana problems. Due to the new passive mastery system, we now get Fortification built in since Shield Crush is a melee skill, which removes the need for the skill gem. We use Fortification for general damage reduction, and end up getting about 24% less damage taken after passives. We don't use evasion, so Unwavering Stance is used for Stun Immunity. Since we do not use critical strikes, this is excellent for us to use.
Resolute Technique enables us to hit 100% of the time at the cost of no critical strikes. You can run this build on Champion and Berserker as well, but this is not covered in this guide. This build can also be run as a Slayer, which is loosely covered in this guide. This build is designed for Gladiator due to the ease of access we get to block, attack and movement speed from challenger charges, and quality of life we get with the ability to ignore enemy physical damage reduction.
#Winfo shield 3 upgrade#
This build is comprehensive and breaks down nearly every aspect of the build including mechanic breakdowns, upgrade options, crafting steps to make your own endgame gear, alternative options to make this build your own, examples of gear that you should be aiming for, and video demonstrations of endgame content. Because of this, the build is also SSF and HC friendly due to the adaptable options to prioritize defenses over raw damage. This build can currently scale into a character that can reasonably do all endgame content utilizing easy to get gear, reliable scaling, and large amounts of safety. This Shield Crush build is intended as a starter build for all types of players, including those brand new to the game.
