Be all means, disagree with me. Nothing would please me more then someone correcting me on a piece of my build, that would only make us both better at the game. Which is my goal with sharing information.
Seize the initiative is always up, and doesn't depend on my attacks to keep up the 2.5 second duration. Reslove wouldn't protect me from range monsters or caster monsters if I was handling melee. It depends on a lot going in my favour for it to be effective. I prefer the dependable armour rather than a 2.5 second debuff.
You're losing two things with taking Guardian's path instead of one with everything. You obviously lose a ton of resistance, and you lose your shield. Which is another form of mitigation. Dodge is far to much RNG for me to completely depend on. I love a good dodging spree, but when I take that hit to the face I love that my shield can absorb 75% of it..
Also, I'm a moron sometimes ;). It's not always simple to get out of molten, plagued & desecrate. I'll take my fair share of ticks before I can always get out. Without resistance I felt like I melted way to fast (0.7 seconds in molten and I watched my 60k HP pool drop to 0!)
It's not always Elite mob specials that you need to resist either. Act 3, the flying bats & Fallen shaman's destroy you with fireballs. In the fields of slaughter you have the plague harbingers, and In the crater you have the succubus All of them do insane magical attacks without being elite. If you're in a pack of melee and their on the outside beating down on you then your dodge isn't going to do much to save your life.
Thanks for the response!
Thanks for yours too I'm going to try a shield right now because like you said...dodge is really RNG and sometimes on belial I just get one shot in phase 2
no flaming but...
Why don't you use resolve (reduce enemies dmg by 25%) instead of seize of initiative? Because, at the moment, with my gear, seize of initiative only give me 8% more dmg reduction from my armor...so its 17% less than resolve.
and I prefer to replace one with everyting by the guardian's path because 15% mitigate more dmg than guardian's path ...considering you don't stay in plague, molten, desecrator like a fucking moron lol ..
waiting for your opinion and sry for my bad english lol
