[3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version

In 1.3., this build will be doable, but with a lot less block chance. It will definitely not be doable as a duelist anymore, unfortunately (since duelist start is horrible), so I would direct anyone interested to look at the marauder topic for this build:

damn it... and I was worried about that.. just checked new passive tree and.. its terrible ;/ seems that again ranged magic builds will be better than mele ones and shield will still be useless...

Shields were quite OP until now, I don't know why you think they were useless. In fact, the reason why so many shield nodes were removed from the tree was that block was a super good mechanic for so little investment.

Updating this build for the Awakening.

Salutations!

What good is the Aegis Aurora if you have ~400 ES ? Please debate

Perhaps this is the best demonstration? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEofW8amDhc

If not, check any of the videos in the first post of this thread and conclude yourself. It's a quite common thing to use Aegis without having a massive ES base.

Cheers!

hi, will the immortal call , increase duration combo be the same in the awakening?

6 endurance will allow 10 seconds of invulnerability with 20/20 immortal increase duration or was it nerf?

It won't be the same, it was nerfed. It will be less. Of course, you do not have to use immortal call. Since it was always used self-cast only in this build anyway, you can just play with 6 endurance charges constantly up. With all the increased endurance charge duration nodes, they should last for around 13-14 seconds. Then just use immortal call when it's really dangerous.
