[3.7] baseTheoryCraft JuggernautSpinToWin 90kArmor/ 5kLife/ 900K+DPS 9+EC WorkInProgress

BIG UPDATE COMING !!!!
(7/7/2019) -I've been playing this build since the begining of 3.7 and there is a big flaw on this character right now. Nebulochs are killing us. Because of Nebulochs, our sustainability for Fire damage is really low. Example, if we got burning ailement it's a big degen on life and we are unable to sustain it with life regen and leech. Vs Pheonix Guardian it is an instant fail. Shock too is a bane on us. Even with resist poitions, it is not enough.
I will be testing without Nebuloch's and maybe testing 2handed Mace instead.
I will reduce Armor, because after 50k armor it is useless.

INTRO

!!!NEW UPDATE 6/9/2019!!!

I tried to create a melee tanky/endurence charge/cyclone build.
NEW: PasteBin for the 3.7 passive tree is up!
In the next expansion if you don't already know, there will be a big change for melee builds and especially Cyclone that will become a more maniable channelling skill.

Since this build is in a theory state mode, the passive tree will be subject to change during the league soo come back some time to time to not miss the changes.

SKILL GEMS
*Right now I've put only 4 Linked Setup. Work in progress*

-Body Armour 6L: Cyclone//Infused Channelling//Melee Physical Damage//Endurence Charge on Melee Stun//Concentrated Effect//Pulverise

-Weapon1 3L: Vulnerablity//Blasphemy//Increased AoE

-Weapon2 3L: Blood Rage//Herald of Purity OR Herald of Ash//War Banner

**Special thanks to EizCaj for his great idea about Ancestral Warchief 4L setup and some ajustment with some skills**

*On my part I prefer the attack speed buff and AoE from Summoned Lighning Golem with a Culling Strike to clear my missing mobs.

**Since 3.7 will revolve around melee character, I think the price for the items will skyrocket**

-Weapons: 2 Nebuloch, Nightmare Mace

TIPS

-The Passive Tree is Optimized DPS and Armour.
-For lower levels I recommande to get 3 jewels out of five and reduce some armour in the passive tree but keep in mind to cap the physical damage reduction.
-That much armour is a test for Molten Shell in Legion.
-You can remove Mana leech passive node if you find any mana leech on items or maybe from boots Lab enchantement.
-Because of Undeniable ascendancy passive, Accuracy is very important in this build because it adds alot more Attack speed. Thats one of the reason I suggested to add War Banner in this build.
-Place War Banner during bosses.

DISCLAIMER

This build is only on theory crafting right now. I never made a character close to that kind of build. It is still work in progress.

I'm not the best in that game but I appreciate all the creativity we can get for making builds in Path of Exile. If i missed something in my theory or you want to help me out optimize the build, please leave your idea in the comments section :) Thank you and I hope you enjoyed this kind of weird build im working on right now lol. I'll be devouted to this build in all 3.7 and will keep stuff updated as long as I can in Legion.

Very interesting! might give this.... a whirl

Very cool I must say. Like the idea.

I'm looking at playing something similar myself. Not decided exactly what, but this gave me some ideas.

I can see some problems with the build though:
- Going to be quite expensive to get that armor with five off colors.
- You are quite weak when you don't have all your endurance charges. Base resistance is only around 40. So I think I would add an Enduring cry.

Also looking forward using Molten Shell. Since it's now armor based this build could be pretty cool utilizing it. But let's see what it says =)

It is true that 5 off color can be very expansive. I don't think this build will be budget friendly. I'll look for alternative when the time comes.
Yeah low resist is one of my biggest fear. But I think the generation of Endurance Charges will be insane. I'm only level 38 with a Juggernaut that is following this build and i generate already 5 EC in under a sec. Soo maybe it won't be to much of a probleme for farming. Vs boss i'm not quite sure for now.

Thanks for your advise ill take a deeper look into it in 3.7 :)

5k life

I know it's low for a melee build but ear me out on this. 90% physical reduction from armor + 9% to 11% more physical reductions from Unrelenting ascendancy passive. With all EC 75% and more ele and chaos res + Unrelenting 8% reduce ele damage + Nebuloch 18% to 22% reduce ele damage. over 1000 life leech rate and over 800 net Life regen.

I think 5k is enough to tank anything in the game with all of this.

If im wrong, I will update for more health Vs armour.

And it's dificult to get lots of life cuz of many uniques too.

I hope you will enjoy it! :)

Here is what I am looking at for this build:

Rev #3: https://pastebin.com/B8kzTFv0

I would love to hear opinions. Immortal Call very well might be replaced with steel skin.

Edit: Updated Build. Removed Phasing and added Enduring Cry and Temporal Chains.

Edit #2: Tweaked the Tech Tree a bit to get close to 800k damage.

Edit #3: Tweaked the Tech Tree a bit to get 799k damage.

Instead of Concentrated effet on Cyclone i would use Infused Channelling cause even if you lose a bit of dps, you gain quality of life in clear speed from the range + defensive stats

Instead of BV/Bladefall/Cwdt isn't it better to use Ancestral Warchief + chance to bleed + whatever for boss fights ?

Lion's Roar it not an option as granite flask used ?

Should we consider temporal chain "too much" since there is already Punishment as curse aura ?

Will cyclone still be a movement skill? If its channeling then need to think of different body armor.
