Recommend a tank warrior build for me

[Yhorm]

Hello, I currently have a mage and a rogue for farming/climbing, however, I’ve recently developed a desire to start a new warrior character focused on tanking. The general idea is to never die, even if it takes time to kill mobs, but to be capable of reaching floors 1000+. Do you have any builds along these lines that you could share with me? Thank you.

Help for 100% block

Epiphany (7) minimum with 2 Crystal Block and Bulwark Talent 38+. this gives Block Cap +81%, +100% when Bulwark is active. make sure your two Crystal Blocks equal 81% or higher. Epiphany (8) maximum with 2 Crystal Block and Bulwark Talent 32+. this gives Block Cap +84%, +100% Block when Bulwark is active. make sure your two Crystal Blocks equal 84% or higher. the reason you have 2 Crystal Block is that if you only have one, you would need 2 Epic Block to reach Cap. Bulwark activates for 5 sec…

hope this helps. the rest of the build is up to you. just remember that you can only roll Block on OH Items, so you need to find a Warrior Item with Block, and try to find it with a Crystal Block.

Thank you, sir; I will try to organize myself to analyze and implement this project.

Sanctuary Mythic will be important for this build, for those times when you’re waiting for 80%+ to be raised to 100% Block.

1. Get Epiphany (7)
2. Get 2 Items with 45% Block Teal Affix (Obsidian Crystal or Crafting through Codex).

• You can get 45% Block Affix only on Offhand using Obsidian Crystal (it’s still RNG tho, hope it won’t cost you a lot of Obsidian).
• Crafting through codex is the 2nd way to get another 45% Block Teal Affix, there are several Warrior items that has a default Block stat.

3. Here’s how you can map the entire setup

• Main Hand : Epiphany (5) [Your Chosen Affix] Since you’re converting a Gauntlet from Wizard to Warrior, you’ll be forced to have Axe as your weapon for this.
• Offhand : 45% Block Affix (Your Chosen Set)
• Chest : 45% Block Affix (Your Chosen Set)
• Head : Free Affix Slot (Your Chosen Set)
• Ring : Epiphany (6) [Your Chosen Affix]
• Amulet : Epiphany (7) [Your Chosen Affix]

You can get the 45% Block Teal Affix on Chest by crafting it through the Codex, there’s a Chest item there named “Indra’s Boon” with a block affix, it only cost 10 dust to craft, just keep crafting it until you get the Teal Block Affix (It’s RNG by the way, I don’t know if crafting is affected by Luck & Nadroji).

• With Epiphany (7), Max Block cap will be at 81% Block, you now have 90% Block (45%+45%), although 9% is wasted, that’s fine, give or take.
• To reach 100%, you need to use the Bulwark Talent (Ring). Although you still have 19% chance of dying in the default state but once you trigger a single block, you’ll have 100% Block for 5 seconds.

Crystalline Set and Treasured Perk improve chances of Items having Crystal affixes from drops, Shop, LegendEx.
