Hey guys, today I briefly go over the mechanics and uses of the Aquila Cuirass next patch - a currently useless legendary (change is not retroactive) that's going to become best in slot for almost every build. Enjoy & discuss!
Played around with Aquila Cuirass on my DH over the weekend. Vengeance-dark heart (from visage of gunes), elusive ring, endless walk set (travelers/compass rose) plus AC= running at 240m toughness most of the time. Of course when the crap really hits the fan and the hatred is going down the toughness drops by half... so it works opposite of an endgame item for a resource intensive build. Reminds me of the 'hamster ball' wizard passives (galvanizing, etc) that put up a shield all the time *except* when you hit that bad elite pack and all your shields drop away. Still you can always just hit the generator and go back up.
I was just screwing around with it on the DH but could see using it on another build that doesn't really use resources. Would definitely be great on a barb build that works the other way (as long as you are fighting you will have high resource) like a ww build. Could run lightning ww build and still have plenty of toughness. Could also see it being used for some wd builds (like you mentioned).
Just spitballin'... thanks for the video.
Edit: Yeah I'm using Endless Walk set also to get more dmg/toughness. 50% dmg reduction doubles toughness (endless walk varies between dmg/toughness).
It's perfect for the DH Chakram build. Hatred max all the time and free 50% dmg reduction, plus Unity and Dark Heart... Well... DHs can actually tank something.
Oh, it can be used with channeled spells, at least the God Ray Firebird Wizz. He gets channeling cost reduction belt, too. And you are at 100% Arcane Power more or less all the time while channeling.
There are many new items/redone ones that give a lot of possibilities.
I first thought it couldn't be used with Condemn Crusader, but even there with some skill/item combos I was over 75% Wrath all the time (Condemn on NumPad, working all the time) - at least as long as you fight.
There are a number of endgame builds that either don't use resources or never run out, like DoD WD and now channeling Wiz. Also, new Endless walk set (amulet/ring) is almost as much damage output as F/R and it frees up both a skill slot and another ring slot. Keep that in mind.

"My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally."
