Paladin (max block armor stack + bob + max res)

- pros
chill gameplay and can probably push it to 100
decent dps

cons
a bit clunky due to warcry use and have to recast link every 12sec.

item, link and skill gem:



the bread and butter of my build idea - we path away to decay ward so we can pick the link mastery to minion and combined with ascendancy we get 80% aura effect when we link to bob. thats 8 introspections! and pathing isnt bad so we get some life nodes, resist and we can place some nice jewels there. corrupt is not needed - bob never died since the day i summoned him.

bobs item are: devoto helmet, doppelanger chest, shaper shield with life on block(this is importnat so bob dont die), rainbow stride boot for some more block and resist, dreamfeather sword so he has high attk speed and rare glove with attk speed + chaos resist and exposure + intimidate for implicit.



those 2 placed near the scion starting areas will give a whopping 230% evasion rating, block resist and so on.



rest of the jewels are 2 big cluster with prodigious defence to max out on block and mana and life leech, introspection on small ones. we steal lucky block from gladiator and watchers is optional - im not picking a block mastery on my tree.



on chest we care most about evasion rating so i crafted it with the evasion essence. getting i high tier roll life is probably slightly better since you can save point from life mastery, but if you get high evasion/armor on prefix is slightly more dps.



formless flame is a nice compliment to our dmg as it gives one more vector to boost our dps. the corrupt is not needed but always welcome and would save some points on passive tree. early you can just resort to rare if you have resist problems - difference is like 10% dps + mana reserve i think is better even if you craft it with reserve essence and get implicit.



well weapon is obvious choice for armor stack and shield gives something like 10-12% life recovery on block and with lucky we get 88% block.



rings with resist, life and atleast int on one of them. auls because we pick the 30lvl grace ascendancy and we cannot link it to enlighten. the lvl4 is not needed - i just got lucky in temple.



boots with life and resist. craft cannot be chilled + ms and pick antifreeze pantheon.



well rolled distillery belt until you get your mb.



just ur regular armor stack flasks and we do clarity for better uptime on tincture.

warcry - put on left mouse button.

FINAL UPDATE


so wandering the temple i accidentally got +2 on my helmet on top of reservation mod. you can however just get +2 on glove and it will be the same thing.(however you cant fit all aura without enlighten4, reserve mod on helmet and even some more reserve nodes on tree) now we can go max res too with couple of nodes on tree, add some more resist on gear and melding ofc. dropped warcry in favour of light of divinity - its less dps, but we get some needed points to allocated max res and char feels less clunky and only annoyance left is linking every twelve seconds.
