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

That's the problem, I tested a ST(non legacy) and have 1k less DPS. Even if I'd invest that nodes on dmg, I feel like won't be able to compensate that lack, unless ST was legacy . I want to do the build most balanced as possible.

Do you think that 2% of mana leech will be enough to sustain a 6L with MS+FA on it and Hatred+Tempest Shield running?

I don't think 2% will be enough, no.

Can you tell me what links are you running now on IB? Do you have 2% mana leech or no mana leech (the gear you linked has none)? Also, what's your maximum flat mana and what's your reserved mana with auras? I'm kind of shocked you're not using mana leech gem with no mana leech on gear you linked.

With IB I use MPD+MS+AddFire+Melee Splash(WED for single target).

I don't have mana leech on gear, 747 total mana and 464 reserved. With FA, sure I would have mana problems.

Ah, right, no faster attacks. Yeah, with a 6L and FA, you'll need a lot mana leech I think.

Have you tried using WED instead of added fire in your normal setup?

Yeah, why? :p

Doesn't it give you more DPS? I use WED always, no added fire in my 6L. As you saw in the video, I only swap melee splash with added fire for single target damage.

hi, can i use a bor legacy with this build? ty!!!

Yes, in fact, the BoR + Aegis + Soul Taker is the combo Havoc used to get his first Atziri kill on Invasion. Also used it for his first Uber kill (but only for double vaal and trio before Atziri). He used Cyclone as main skill, though.

However, you will need to get a lot better res from other gear then.

Thanks for the build, I'm loving it so far. I managed to get a Kaom's Heart drop which funded this build for me. There were a few tweaks I made for my tastes that you might like. The first is:

This allows me to run Enfeeble + Temp Chains or Elemental Weakness depending on what I'm running. Also with this build if you don't go for the extra 4% block from passives to cap your block, You could go for '4% chance to block' on the ammy which would give you 3% block to spells because of the rainbowstrides and SoL.
The only other tweak I did was grab the 2 reduced mana reservation nodes near the templar so I can maintain Hatred/Tempest Shield/Determination at the same time. I think with a level 19 or 20 Reduced mana gem I will get it down to 1 of the nodes if I did my math right. I will let you know when I get there, I unfortunately vendored my lvl20 gem recently for 20% quality.

Anyways, back to mapping. Thanks again.

If you like dual cursing, nothing wrong with that, of course :)

The reduced mana reservation nodes are a nice thing, glad to hear it works out to allow 3 auras. Did I understand right, you qualitied lvl20 reduced mana? You know it doesn't give any less mana reservation for auras, only skills? :D

Either way, glad you're enjoying it!
