I would like to pick that build up. They nerfed the double damage roll for the 2H weapons aswell as the maim rolls on 2h maces. Do you think that cuts a lot of lategame customization away for the weapon slot? What would other usefull stats be? I would like to invest some currency into it not just as a league starter. Also is there a maximum treshold for the R.E.S.T. one should try to get? There is also a Jugg/Slayer version of that build, what would you say are the pros for zerker?

hi friend

tidebreaker is too solid for this build TBH, giving us a free 7 link with endurance charge on melee stun. this is 24% more dps, or 28 with a +1 endurance charge boots

usually by end of league, we start mass corrupting well rolled tides to get the "supported by lvl 10 fortify" implicit. this turns tidebreaker into an 8 link, which is super OP. we can also double corrupt ones for other fun stuff

as for the old powerful shaper rares, i feel we will have some other new powercreep with the new conqueror mods. i think they will be datamined today so we will investigate.

REST does have diminishing returns after 75%, however it is still the best way to scale Stun for end game boss hp. I usually sit between 100-110 REST i believe, and this gets us stunning uber elder fight (18mil and 20 mil hp IIRC)

Serker simply gets free warbringer, which is by far one of my favorite mechanics for defense. The endurance charge generation, 25% heal, movespeed and attack speed and double dmg, as well as rallying cry dps boost is simply suberb. Serker also gets us very solid mapping movespeed and amazing DPS for very little currency thanks to aspect and rite of ruin dmg boosts

Jugg versions and slayer versions should go crit, since undeniable and overpower gets very good crit for tidebreaker. Simply get out of RT, and grab the dismembering and disembowerling nodes near RT/brinkmanship, and get some on jewels/amulets/rings

Mosesplays has a great slayer version and he did it SSF,

it is very similar overall, just skip the warcry nodes and RT

Hi there.

Although I'm a low to average player, and all the fuss about the melee nerfs I've seen around today, I actually tried this build out today in standard (got to middle of act 3 in 2 hours while reading and looking at the PoB) to get the feeling of this build.

I'm positively sure this will be my starter this time and my first time on a melee character btw.

Keep the good work.

Hi, thanks for the guide! I'm gonna play this as my league starter.

I'm not so sure about phys reduction though. Since we want to stun and do really big hits anyway, armor won't affect us much. And in the manifesto they mentioned that this stat can't reduce reduction below 0.

So I'm really thinking this stat wouldn't be needed at all for this build, or am I missing something?
