PoE Shield Crush builds without Starforge

Wanted to use the new aggravated bleed glad ascendency and be at the same very tanky (the value in the PoB will be lower than the real game since the new armor bases and life modifiers are not up to date in this version of the build)

I posted this other day at 61 mil and thought I could only get to \~70 with dd on shield. Then i remembered 10% more attack damage mastery. with volatility/ryslatha/violent retaliation jewels for lucky hit this mastery node is \~10% more damage. Volatility support is cool i guess. I only got to \~80 mil dps in crucible with a 4.8k def shield. This is 90 mil with a 3.1k armour/evasion shield. I can swap some flask around and run a lions roar and bottle faith to get over 100 mil. I would only do this for pinnacles. Everything

&x200B; This is my shield crush build this league. I posted a 72 mil DPS pob during crucible. I didnt play during tota. My build this league has 61 mil dps so far, but I still need to aisling my shield for double damage. Once I do that I will hit 70 mil DPS with a shield that has 1600 less armour. This league I am using violent retaliation gladiator forbidden jewels for lucky hit damage and ryslathas coil and volatility to push my maximum attack damage as high as possible. It does mean that this build requires blocking in t

So I hate dying and tried to come up with a gigatank build: DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS BUILD THIS IS ONLY THEORYCRAFTING Defences: - 87/85/85/75 Resists - 8 Endurance Charges - 444k Armour with flasks up (They have 90% uptime while hitting stuff even on bosses if you can keep hitting em) This can theoretically tank sirus meteor without molten shell and memory game with molten shell thanks to the new warden ascendancy (however shaper ball deals almost as much dmg as sirus meteor lol) As for dmg we have 15.5m dps with 2 overlaps and temporary buffs up (

my shield crush that i played all league for anyone looking for inspiration for a mele build to play this league : blitz charges and defience charges are off so no one tells the numbers are inflated playable with both jugg/beserker

Threw this together this morning and it seems to me like it should be a pretty solid "clear fast, don't die, bosses aren't too slow" build with not too much jank. &x200B;

this is my pob for my bossing character this is without awakened support gems i know theres room to grow but i dont feel like theres any major changes to be done numbers are a bit inflated but i like big numbers

&x200B; I like to play shield crush and for some reason don't like to play crit. Last league I got shield crush to 45 mil precise technique DPS with a 2900 defense shield. Crucible trees made we want to see how far I could get it. This build is a little different than last league. Last league I used a Iron Reflexes impossible escape and a storm shroud. I was using the impossible escape to be able to a
