My mages apply around 20 to 30% shock to the bosses so I cover skitters by making my mages crit and deal their own ailments. I really don't like skiter setup cuz tempest shield block is HUGE and it synergises really well with the es gain on block setup.
I really like the feeling of having a capped spell and attack block with aegis aurora cuz it ables us to reach nigh immortality. It allowed me to clear any and every boss I encountered with the smallest investments. I think if we extract the big items from my setup it could perform the same achievements with the minimal amount of investment required. You could lose my wand minion dmg, corrupted chest, corrupted boots, corrupted shield(while still being capped at attack block) and it would perform just like my own min-maxed version with some dmg loss.
I realized this later, that actually we were over shock and chill threshold even for Sirius, so Hypothermia still works (that's where the biggest damage hit comes from) and I should get some shock. It's only like 11% against Sirius, though I'm making some adjustments to get boss damage up even higher (giving Divergent Predator Support a go, it's like 60% more damage according to PoB, though it adds a button). Can't afford an Empower or Awakened Spell Echo at the moment, which would also be upgrades. The Awakened Spell Echo is a 20% damage boost at least, with also bigger shocks and chills, so seems highly worth the investment later.
Getting spell block up will be a big help, for sure. I'm under cap now and get blown up a little too often.
Yep more defence always helps. I always prefer defence over dmg when it is needed because we do not deal dmg when we are dead ^^ At least not anymore, we used to be able to ^^
I might not have the build 100% correct and since i play on xbox i had to change the molten shell around to use cwdt. But this build has to be the absolute best i have ever played and i wanted to come here and personally thank you.
Great guide and thank you for taking the time to write it up.
I am glad you liked it ^^ So you cant change your movement button to molten shell huh? I considered removing molten shell before since we rely on block too much. It might not even be functional anymore.
Not sure if i could link it or not. Our movement is tied to the left stick direction. I have both the cwdt and the molten shell both pretty low and i do see it pop off rarely but i am also not at max block yet either, close to max but just a little shy of it. Once i hit max i will tske it off and see what happens.

If you could put skills on your movement button then you could put the molten shell there and it triggers on its own.
What is special with Aurora Aegis compared to The Surrender?
Surrender recovers 250 hp on block if I'm not wrong, aegis aurora recovers about 1k+ energy shield per block so it's more than 4 times of the surrender. Life block on shields are not sufficient enough to survive on the block mechanic and they are most likely to leave you dead when it comes to your survivability mattering the most. Aegis aurora's block can let you survive simply on 1.5k es through all the content.
Can someone explain to me, how I can get 1k+ ES replenish? If I get this right, I'd need to get 50k+ armour (2% of Armour replenished as ES from Aegis), which I don't know how to get.

Thank you.
With my flask up I have 49k armour. So if you have some way of lacking armour you could do some adjustments and get there easily.
