So I've played Warrior all league and...

I gotta say it, guys

SHIT

I'M HAVING FUN

Start of 0.2 was the same, I didn't pay heed to the patch notes and started with Warrior, Smith was in a killer spot, used Shield skills all the way through, even did some funny haha stuff where I used a Wand to scale their damage, hilarious stuff

This league I read the patch notes and was arguably unexcited, but the shield skill changes alongside the addition of Fortifying Cry was ACTUALLY chef's kiss, super SSF friendly cause all you need is a shield with high armour. That's it, that's all you need

The armour applying to elemental damage I was worried about, but it's actually really good at the top end, the fact that you can overstack this stat and have it on top of resists makes armour not that bad of a stat, running fully juiced T17s, Guilt-stacked for pack size, and not even looking at the map modifiers is great stuff, even with Lightning Spear in 0.2 I had to watch what I ran from time to time

I do understand that likely what I'm actually running here is a bit more on the fringe end of a "Lucky find" in terms of builds, but the current gameplay I'm experiencing is actually incredibly fun EVEN WITH the endgame not being in a good state

Who else is actually having fun this league? Is Mark allowed to play the game yet?

Finished my warrior .3 play and armour/life is in a great place. Armour also applies to elemental damage is a very welcome change to the archetype.




Moving onto another armour hybrid build with spells now, and looking for this mod to include it. Very happy of its addition on the tree as well.


Also happy with the block changes as well.


A lot more choices now on the warrior side of play. Did a 1h/shield build just fine, all content.

Do you think the armor/life build is as strong as ES?

This sounds cool,

Do you think you'll be able to build enough armour using hybrid gear for it to be relevant?

Are you gonna try using Warrior for this? Which Ascendancy?

Tell me about the idea!

Uhhh no. I dont think it is at that level


Feel pretty tanky though at 4.4k life and 30k armour with 36k applying to elemental.

Doing a sorc Solar Orb build again. (I can tell you GGG made a HUGGGGGEE mistake making solar orb cost 0 mana hehehehe)

This time though with a staff now since its on a weapon. Loving it so far though. Staves are cheap because the "well staves are bad" ideas that get floated around.

Tower shield swap I think and I will try to incorporate maybe fort cry or something into it will see how it goes.





And yea, I do think you get plenty of armour and ability to path to increased nodes. Ill be heading down to the middle left for those increased and the armour applied to ele nodes for sure.
