Disclaimer/Build~Theory



This is a work in progress, also my league starter. I have leveled with it from act 1.



I've always try to build around less popular skills/equipment. I find it refreshing when it comes together.



This time I decided to try a Vigilant Strike Jugg. Huge Pro of this is Vigilant Strike cannot miss so you can build in some crit chance, also it gives you free fortify (which acts like a pseudo 7th link)



Ancestral Call helps this build tremendously for clear speed.



Now we got that out of the way, lets look at why I chose Juggernaut.



Jugg is build enabling because it helps you gen Endurance Charges by being hit and gives you a chance of getting a full stack of Endurance charges every time you gen 1. This helps cover the cost of Vigilant Strike Cool-down removal.



What this build isn't. It's not clear speed Meta, or Insane Single Target DPS. But Still respectable numbers in both. Potential 300k+ Shaper DPS (Would require Star forge, my current version is using Terminus Est) While low, you should be able to tank pretty much any hit.







Pros/Cons



Pros:



~Viable to level with from lvl 1 and up (Use any filler skill until you can sustain Endurance Charges), I recommend Molten Strike.



~ Very High Regen, 30+ % once you get your Pantheon choice.



~ Able to afk tank a lot if not all of content



~ 9-12 Endurance charges (depending on corruptions/gear)



~7k+ life potential (2100+ hp regen)



~ 90% physical resistance with fortify and arctic armour you will be taking 5-6% physical damage



Cons:



~ Some very expensive recommended gear



~ Somewhat slow.











Gearing



Helmet : Abyssus



Since your physical Resistance is so high, the downfall of this helm is minimized. Since you are stacking a little crit, you'll get a fair increase in damage.









Armor





Not much to add here, it gives you a lot of life . Problem is it is very expensive.



If you can't afford, a Belly of the Beast is a good substitute.



: Kaom's HeartNot much to add here, it gives you a lot of life . Problem is it is very expensive.If you can't afford, a Belly of the Beast is a good substitute.





Weapons : Terminus Est, Starforge, Hegemony, Rare



I'm currently Using Terminus as I got lucky on a 6L



Terminus gives you higher crit chance, a little move speed and Frenzy Charges (helps in clear speed)



Starforge gives you the most damage (best for bosses) and shock chance.



Hegemony gives you a lot of Damage and is a lot cheaper than Starforge



Links (Mapping)



Vigilant Strike > Multistrike > Melee Splash > Ancestral Call > Brutality > Melee Physical



Ancestral Call + Melee Splash is amazing in packs because you can shotgun with overlapping AOEs



Links (Bosses)



If Bosses don't have extra mobs around them.



Vigilant Strike > Multistrike > Damage on full life > Ruthless > Brutality > Melee Physical



I rarely switch into this but if you need the extra damage it'll make a huge difference.









Gloves,Boots,Rings,Belt



Meginord's Vise



Gives life regen, and a little armor, if you can get a Vulnerability on hit it frees up a lot of mana to use another aura.









Amulet



Shaper's Sead



Gives 2% life regen, goal is with +1 curse



Can skip this if you want to get a rare, or go for a self freeze variant and use Winterheart (massive 20% regen but conditional







Jewels



%life, flat life, resistance are all good















POB
