Build Overview

💖Be sure to add to favorites! it takes a lot of time making these! 💖

✨Classic Armour Stacker setups for running all content! ✨

This is my guide for all content Armour Stack! It can be started as early as level 84 and very early on in a league!

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Good all-rounder
  • Tanky
  • Giga DPS!
  • Expensive
  • degens

Build Variants

Barebones setup for week 1 Simu farming! It can do other content as well but is a bit slow.

I did simu wave 15 at level 88 with no 4th ascendancy, 4L, no FF jewels etc. This is the POB: https://pobb.in/jktQ0cTxLVkm

Lowest level to start: 84

Merc is the Pre-MB merc

Its a bit hard to get STR and DEX so you might need to use some of the 30 attribute nodes early on.

How it Works

TLDR

  • Replica Dreamfeather scales our % attack damage.
  • use Wrath and Smite to get flat damage. This is why we dont bother with phys>elemental conversion or matching skill damage types. i.e molten strike is a fire skill but we only scale lightning.
  • We will get most of our armour by converting evasion rating to armour with Iron Reflexes. Due to the way this works, flat evasion is more valuable than flat armour.
  • Use flasks and auras like Determination and Grace to get % More Armour and Evasion.
  • Since we are using lots of auras we will get lots of increased effect of non-curse auras to scale our armour, flat lightning damage and energy shield!
  • since we have lots of armour, we can use Aegis Aurora to recover full energy shield every time we block!
