Thank you for your support and your info I understand more now after you explained very clearly and I'm much better on the game now thank you much appreciated friend
This was actually super helpful but also I believe immediately inaccurate due to the patch. Still helpful though, especially seeing how much DR effects elite hits in apoc.
I'm glad you found parts of it helpful! The only change is how much the armor values light, medium and heavy gives you now. the DR functions exactly the same. The bulwark tooltip has now been fixed and stacks properly up to 25% DR, which is crazy high and the Restriction Cord was buffed with 5% DR from 10 to 15%. Everything else is basically the same and still relevant I'd say. I'll be making a note.
Guys trust me.. whispering marble, dried clayed ring, amber signet ring , ring of crisis is so damn good guys, you are so tanky and cant die when youre low health and do really good damage. When that shield is up if youre getting jumped it takes them forever to even get the shield off, I use the heart that reduces damage by 50% and reduces movement speed. Ranger and ritualist rn.
Just wanna note that Bulwark is now up to 25% (previously 20% like your video information) according to the aug 10 patch notes. So you will need less DR from other sources if you intend to use Bulwark at 5 stacks.
Typical that they did a major patch the day after I released this video xD I'll be doing a check if everything is still accurate and add any notes if necessary
@@varisbelphegold might be fixed???? i just realized they added another patch. also as whole, just like the video, its a matter of how many hits before you die in most cases in apoc difficulty. cheers
@@kazen16 notes has been updated after the patch hit to give information about any changes that are relevant to the video subject now ^^ I hope this clears things up a bit.
So since the latest patch my apoc tank is sitting at DR 38% Armor DR 70.1% and total DR 75.3% Im not capping at 80% anymore... Im asusming its a bug unless they changed how DR stacking works
they could also have rebalanced any items used in your build for lesser effects. There should still be ways to reach the cap fairly easy. I use the the 25% DR amulet combinet with 2 rings and an armor elixir most often to reach the cap if needed, but I usually don't play with max cap either in my builds. Bulwark builds are still very strong I assume.
I personally don't put a single point into the health trait, vitality? Don't remember the name. I haven't since the start of the game. BUT, if you find yourself not capping out and getting 1 shotted for example and want a little more breathing room, taking the vitality trait and drinking a mudtooth tonic (though I drink for armor) might add more padding for you to survive. I adapt a lot rather than focus on 1 solution. But also, in this game, people do naked apocalyptic runs without getting hit even once. Skill is a direct link to what build you decide on in the end ^^ I hope my little rant helps.
There's many factors that can go into this decision, your archtype's, items, skills, consumables and roll type preferences. For example, there's many Procentige % based dmg reduction items in the game, so you could probably run around naked depending on your playstyle and item & build. You can also complete the game using no armor or dmg reduction at all. But that being said, MY advice would be to limit armor to the roll speed you prefer to use, light-medium-heavy-overburdened. I've always played at medium weight, but either one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Medium is just medium on all points, so it's a solid choice. You can of course stack better armor if you get your encumbrance limit raised by passive perks or items. TL:DR - Find the weight for the roll speed you prefer and max inside that limit. Use other defensives as skills, passives or items to compensate what you feel is lacking. I hope my rant answer helped somewhat.
You would need to remake this :) u where not near capped out. With full armor and +7% DR would land you at 60% maybe. 80% is insanely good if u cap that
I don't understand. And I also don't think I need to remake it because all the points would be exactly the same, just a few stats would display differently. What people have to do and what they take away from the video would still be the same content I think?
@@varisbelphegoldwhit 80% dr u can prob take 6 - 8 hits from those elites u showed :) the scaling of DR is insane from 70 - 80% The DR calculation was bugged when u did this video. Could never reach 75% with just armor . Even with 4 bulwark it would only land u at 72% ish . That's with all defence traits included I do like your videos tho :) that's why I'm giving the feedback
@@daniellarsson4673 Thanks! From what I read and understood from the patch notes, the stats wasn't bugged. Only the DISPLAYED stats was not accurate. I'll have to double check, cuz that would be quite a big difference indeed as you say.
@@daniellarsson4673 Haha, I don't think I've actually released a "build" video yet. I'll be releasing at least 1 real build vid but they are mostly items and stats vid explanations of what is worth or work good in those categories so, I mean, I guess it did help you then somehow xD
Question. Can your Procs like BULWARK take you past 80% DR? Like if your armor / stats place you 80% can Bulwark take it past it? like gain more DR but at a diminishing return or something that might take you past 80%. Just something I was wondering about.
This used to be the case before the latest patch, and the reason people was un-killable in tank builds. I tried it shortly after the patch and it doesn't seem to work anymore. You can try it to make sure and get back to me in the comments!
Thank you for your support and your info I understand more now after you explained very clearly and I'm much better on the game now thank you much appreciated friend
Aaw! Thanks for your kind words! I feel like I achieved what I set out to do with this video thanks to you!
All that matters is how good you look
A good look increases your damage by 110% no doubt!

That is siiiick! I do have another sneaking suspicion of a thing I need to test but that sounds soooo good!
i thought they said that the numbers in advance stat sheet are still being worked on and might be bugged? or is that fixed?
Aug 10 patch notes said the advance stats are more accurate now.
Typical that they did a major patch the day after I released this video xD I'll be doing a check if everything is still accurate and add any notes if necessary

is it better to have higher health? or higher armor/damage reduction?
I personally don't put a single point into the health trait, vitality? Don't remember the name. I haven't since the start of the game.

how much minimum base armor should my armor set have?
There's many factors that can go into this decision, your archtype's, items, skills, consumables and roll type preferences.
