Introduction



This is the build I used in the Hardcore Incursion and Legion Leagues, where I managed to defeat Shaper at level 87. This build offers a very high defense, with over 9.000 effective hp, 75% Chance to block attacks and 50% Chance to block spells, and +600 life every time we block. I used Solar Guards until T16 maps, where I switched to Enhanced Vaal Fallens, which have better single target.
