eliel77 I have droped sunforged cuirass, and was searching if there was any viable build around it, so I find yours. thank you for the guide. may I ask why cant this build do T4 Bastion ?
Oplewi19 eliel77 The fire degen on the floor is killing your minions all the time. You can do T3 tho without any problems.
optimusmaximus @Oplewi19 what do you think about the unique weapon APATHY'S MAW for this build? i'm testing it and i think it gives more damage. Maybe an APATHY'S MAW crafted in the sanctum temp with good affixes would be superior. What do you think? Note: if they don't nerf this build it will definitely be my choice for multiplayer.
Oplewi19 optimusmaximus Hi! It could be an interesting choice. I haven't tested it, but feel free to share your results 😃
TermNerdy Question regarding the use of the node "Shield Crafter" in the Forge Guard tree. Are we taking that just for the minion bonuses? I assume you have no chance to block due to using a 2 hander?
Oplewi19 TermNerdy We are taking it for the 150% minion health and 150% minion armour. It's the biggest defense that you can get for your minions for 3 points. You are correct, we have no reasonable way for stacking block chance.
Cosack135 Is rivers of blood any good for keeping minions alive with crit protection and leech? Also, any reason you aren't using Julra's with like t6 melee attack speed? Could maybe even get a fire res one to do T4 Bastion. Not sure if it's better. Amazing build though, I love it 😃
Oplewi19 Cosack135 It might be a good idea. I don't think that T4 bastion is possible without serious investment. The leech and crit protection is not a big help, because they die from the ground degen.
Oplewi19 osnapers I suggest learning about loot filters and how to create them. It's easy if you created 1-2 before. I don't do casual loot filters, I adjust them as I upgrade my character.
splitted28 Hey there. Nice Build. You say: "Currently there are no offensive Sentinel Idols in the game that can help our build, so your Idols are mostly just defensive flat stats. " What about Idols with "Increased minion phys/fire damage"? Don't they work?
Oplewi19 splitted28 Firstly, those are not Sentinel specific idols. Those are Generic idols. Secondly, I don't think that option ever worth it. Those numbers are not that great on generic relics. Anyway, If you somehow still lack of dmg, feel free to go for it.
discarded88 Would Ring of shields be a good replacement for Reversal or cleave? It gives more minion health and I Have not tested it but there is a 6 sec heal and defensives that effect allies, would that transfer to minions? There is also a lot of Minion damage idols specifically for physical and fire, I assume they scale correctly with our traits. These are just ideas; I love the build and I want to see it do all the content.
Oplewi19 discarded88 I think Void Cleave and Reversal gives us too much dmg to lose out on. If you have the correct points in the passive skill tree, you shouldn't have any problem with your defense. If you still feel like you want to experiment, feel free to go for it.
Weiss For a beginner, it's amazing. I destroy everyone with the equipment I pick up. But after 2 days of active play, my finger is already suffering from warpath clamp 😃
