Tried out how it would look with Versatile Combatant.


Trade 25% Block for 25% Spellblock (which imo seems like an even trade) and you free up 2 more passive points, which here I've shifted into DPS. That's with the exact same items, configuration and level.


Edit: Seems Reigning Veteran is bugged in PoB right now, doesn't actually add its armour or evasion. We lose about 700 Armour all in all from the switch.

I am talking about Magebane, not Mageblood.

Magebane is the new keystone near Scion that
- cuts Evason Rating from Dex
- gives 1% chance to Suppress Spell Damage per 15 Dex.

A no-brainer for every Iron Reflexes build if the pathing is ok. But here it is not.

What do you think about Iron Reflexes? It's like 3k Armour for 1 point, which is pretty nutty in my book.

PoB does not count 800+ flat armour and evasion from Reigning Veteran.

With that being said, I think 1 point in Iron Reflexes is justified.

Too bad we can't squeeze in Magebane to fully milk the Dex...

You can Magebane but it's probably not worth it considering how strong Ryslatha is but you can comfort yourself that the new belt mania will make Ryslatha cheaper.

Doesn't e.g. Sirus do exclusively spell damage? I'm still learning and feeling my way round all of PoE's defensive systems but it feels counter intuitive to somewhat ignore spell block. I might be completely wrong, though

You can use 1 regret and get +25 spell block before your every Sirus fight (:

I've also played this build in previous leagues, and looking at his PoB he didn't have a lot of spell block then either. The damage was amazing, and it felt very tanky so I'm assuming it won't have an issue ignore it now either, especially with all the chaos res that should be available since it's easier to get ele res else where.

Yop! Previous leagues I didn't even bother capping block.

"League starter" : Post a PoB with absurd gear.

Trust me, it works with nothing... But i need to put every costly items that exist for... Obvious reason.

You can use the 1 EX or day 2 PoBs, you have my permission (:

This is exactly right. I've tried this for a couple of leagues

This is one weird way to torture oneself - maybe it's just not the build for you then - plenty of builds out there!

How do you get 2 more points?

This is exactly right. I've tried this for a couple of leagues, and if you aren't someone that's investing 40-50 hours into the launch weekend, you aren't going to come anywhere close to this gearing at the prices listed. The "budget" 5-10ex build is 10-20 times that by the time you're a week or two into the league, and if you're a casual player that's a pretty monstrous amount of currency to try to farm up. But until you do, you're constantly feeling on the weak side of things.

To call this an amazing league starter is pure bullshit for 95% or more of the PoE playerbase.

Such a big freakin POB WARRRIOR

How the hell, during a sirus fight do you have :
full frenzy charges
onslaught

intimidate (without any masteris/ items/watcher eye)

etc.

Versatile Combatant turns every 1% Block over cap into 2% Spell Block, so we only need to overcap Block by 12% and can refund some Block Points. I went for refunding Testudo and the two small nodes leading to it for a +3 points, -1 for Versatile Combatant itself.

You get the crit lucky with the ascendancy Violent Retaliation I think?
Gives attack damage is lucky if you blocked in past 20 seconds?
