Path of Chigurh's Notes

I put together this Marauder Juggernaut build in 3.14 to kill delve bosses without needing to dodge mechanics. This build is able to face tank any Aul below 600 depth, but multiple damage mod Auls can only be face tanked around the 400 depth mark. Some dodging is required at that point.

This build gets its insane tankiness in a large part because of Veteran's Awareness small cluster jewel, which I just found out about looking through POE Wiki for ideas. I'm not sure how this jewel isn't more popular. It works by making you pretty much unkillable to hits during the duration of regular Molten Shell. Since Molten Shell is up 66% of the time, it is very hard to die in combination with the 5 defensive auras that I run.

Short Build Summary: *100,000+ armour without flasks or cooldowns *80%/81% max resist without flasks or cooldowns *90% max resist with Molten Shell *350,000+ effective HP pool with flasks and cooldowns *Immune to critical hits, shocks, corrupting blood, stuns, and slows below base speed *Generate max endurance charges out of combat with weapon swap Redblade Banner Shield

*3.7 million Sirus DPS without flasks or cooldowns *5.1 million Sirus DPS with flasks and cooldowns *Swap in melee splash and ancestral call when mapping

*Customizable to use any melee skill since Heavy Strike is a meme (Though I find it to be highest dps). Also, you can run the 6L in the chest and dual wield if you fix the aura mana reservation through other means. Maybe use Vaal Double Strike or Cyclone?

Disclaimer: This test was on Standard league where I have a legacy Starforge and cluster jewels equipped. This does not effect the tankiness of the build. This character can be build in Ultimatum league, but I would suggest crafting/buying a 900+ dps weapon for 30-40 ex, 3 mod clusters, and anointing impale chance to achieve similar dps. In total, this build should be around 120-150ex to make with weapon, pride amulet, and pride watcher's eye being 50-60% of the cost.
