Overview
Ward as a defensive layer is a Path of Exile Raider build by Zheshon, made for the Sentinel league (3.18). It is centered on Blade Blast and plays as a dexterity, spell, area, physical archetype. In Path of Building it reaches 1.12M DPS with 37.34K effective HP, 3.79K life, 940 energy shield. Key uniques include Icefang Orbit.
Zheshon's Notes
With the change to ward's base restoration rate and the new suffixes on ward bases , ward can be used as an extra defensive layer for evasion builds similar to Ghost Dance.
50% faster restoration of ward on helm, boots, and gloves will give a ward restoration time of 1.6 seconds.
The changes to Wind Dancer means it is possible to reach evasion cap with just Grace and a Jade flask on a Raider. It will also be possible to get 100% spell suppression chance on the tree. This means that a Raider with Wind Dancer can get the same defenses as a pure evasion build without using any evasion gear.
It is possible to get capped evasion and spell suppression on other ascendencies, but you will need to use an evasion or hybrid evasion body armour with T1 spell suppression.
