been playing shield crush as pure phys on a gladiator. probably much less damage, not too OP, but surprisingly satisfying to play with haemophilia explosions & extra gore. even though i was always easily bored with melee builds. donning abyssus made life much spicier, even as as armour-based char. can totally recommend for casual people.
Did you know that the Jewel Energised Armour will change the Witch's Shield nodes? It doesn't show in PoB, but two nodes will increase armour by 200% I think.
Next on the chopping "block"... all block modifiers are reduced by 50% and you can't block anything double your health in damage! I initially thought this would be bad but I didn't take into account the full effect of everything being nerfed so hard... think pen is king now.
The hardest thing for me as a PS5 user attempting to follow these PC users build is, he says they build is 50c but when I look for the gear on the market the prices as insanely much more expensive on console vs pc
Never personally used a build that enforces HP sustain in any content and idk what you mean by that question. But he did say that eventually he'll find cluster jewels with life leech. Every build I've played uses either damage mitigation, evasion/dodge or as I personally call this one; damage redirection. Mitigation involves completely/partially nullifying the damage you take. Think Bone Armour, Steelskin, Mind Over Matter. Couple that with stacking armour and HP, you'll survive those random oneshots with some HP left and you top that off with flasks. Evasion and dodge pretty much explains itself, you either get lucky or you don't. Damage redirection involves completely removing the damage you would personally take to something else such as minions or totems. Current league I don't feel like sweating so much and go casual, so I went with FR totems Hierophant. Mind Over Matter + Agnostic, CWDT + Steelskin, Decoy Totems. Most of the time I never get hit. In cases where I do, I don't need life flask, just a Seething mana or two.
Hey Mathil I know your links on these videos are copy pasta but you don't actually have this toon's info on your builds list yet. Also if you are already aware of this, sorry for repeating it. I didn't read every comment. Love the content man!
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet cheers! hope i can get my sst char up and running and really see if it feels powerful enoguh to be my cold proj raider skill i invest everything into and push to t16s with but atm it cant kill t1s so YEPP. BUUUUUUUUT ive also heavvvvily considered shield crus has a swap so cant wait evne fi i go glass cannon raider LOL
@@jimmyc00l Inquissy lost some nice QoL like ailment immunity, and the nerf to consecrated ground indirectly nerfs Inquissy. But you're not wrong, Mathil made it work so it's still viable I guess?
So they nerfed everything to the Ground, because it was to strong but in the same time they put the most overpowered Crit / Multi jewel ever in the Game? wtf -.-
Its simply retarded to introduce a skill jewel with the power of like 4 best in slot rare dps jewels AND overtune the supported skills at the same time. At the moment i feel the game sucks, the number balance, the new gems, the design.
i like it when you play meta skills sometimes, sometimes it's just fun to shit all over the game
Ggg next patch "you thought you could have fun??!"
Finally giving Ziz some freedom

Mathil and Abyssus, name a more iconic duo.

Actually I lied, just noticed that while it will increase your armour, it doesn't change the value of armour on the shield itself.
Thanks, now all my shield bases I'm selling with skyrocket in price.
Enjoy your pretend money

What's that armor mtx you are using mate? looks fancy af :D

Been waiting for this! Will prolly copy the set up but with raider variant.
So how exatly do u sustain hp during boss fights? oneshot boss or rip...

Enjoy it while it lasts boys cos we all know 3.16 will destroy shields and everything remotely associated with them
Ye true block meta will be nerfed hard.
*cries in max block facebreaker gladi
Shield meta makes so much sense actually
Hey mathil, its guys here once again aaaaaand we are back watching another video!
feels like a glass cannon to me, it hit hard but it takes so much damage
ok chris cut this block n damage thing half. lets see how they create a new meta next league.
Next meta : lost ark
@@yourvenparianen5390 Meh. It's an MMO rather than an ARPG, i'm quite dissatisfied with PoE at the moment, but lost ark? Nah.
Any thoughts about using Leper's Alms? Up to 1000 Evasion +200 ES, some life and a fancy way to get rid of ailments =D
It's weak
Could be some pretty big brain mechanics with reverse chill and frost breath for double damage and huge action speed
The link to the forum post for the pob doesn't include this build. When will it be added?
how would a tree look like for a Raider?
Kinda feel bad because I chose to start shield skills before I knew it'd be super meta. But whatever I am having fun with it.
We knew its meta before league start lol
Can't see the build in the link of your build list :(
bonecrush next? The idea of the skill is so cool to me
There goes all my chances of buying a decent price sheild
it was already literally the most popular build of the league, can't get any worse than that
@@msr0685 well Sst beats I out as well as forbidden right
Well, time for a COC shield!

Huh I found that jewel in ssf maybe I should try building around it...
POB?
Wheres PoB?
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet cheers! hope i can get my sst char up and running and really see if it feels powerful enoguh to be my cold proj raider skill i invest everything into and push to t16s with but atm it cant kill t1s so YEPP.

What threshold jewel are you using
Seething fury
@@DiegoPerez-wt8yr that's an sst jewel ain't it?
@@bertmollar no, any shield build that scales with crit and crit multi.
@@DiegoPerez-wt8yr oh nice.
How much dps anyone knows?
I wouldve try this build but chris massacred my inquisitor :(
wtf does this even mean, he's playing inquisitor right here. your inquisitor is no different to mathils.
@@jimmyc00l Inquissy lost some nice QoL like ailment immunity, and the nerf to consecrated ground indirectly nerfs Inquissy. But you're not wrong, Mathil made it work so it's still viable
I guess?
Guess its time to start crafting these shields lol
abyssusy
Yay

Shit Game, Boycott GGG
Wow, things are REALLY bad if you're still trying to sell people on "starter builds" for this league.
He just switched from HC to SC so this comment is null.
Please use your fucking brain.
Things are really bad if people comment without even taking in the basics of a video
