Negator You always should looking what item to change. Every time when you pushing you should discover, what item in your gear is a “weak link” (example: non-ancient boots in the build where other items are ancient) and what to reroll easier to compare with others (very hard to take good shield, better to reroll weapon for example). And, of course, what mod type better past to your current build. About tactic… try to play higher and higher! For example, you have cleared 125, its you personal best. Then try to play in solo 120-122 greater rift for better feeling of gameplay and took experience.
I think you misunderstood his question about Stone Gauntlets drawback w/o Ice Climbers. CDR has nothing to do with your movement impairment and AS decrease. Ice Climbers makes you immune to both debuffs (or you can use the gem that makes you immune to crowd control effects, same result - I do that on my meteor LoD Wiz).
If you can live with the debuffed movement speed / attack speed and clear that high, then all the kudos to you! Personally I live by Attack speed, going from 2 attacks / second to 3 attacks / second helped my clear speed and RG boss kill by a large margin (talking at 110, playing season for now so didn’t try to push past 110).
I have done the same indestructible for towering shield trade in groups, but I’d never think to do it solo. It made complete sense when i picked up Andariel’s, and rolled main stat to CHC. Maybe all of the uptime of AC/Iron Skin changes things?
65% CDR makes the downtime of Iron Skin about 3.5 sec, the downtime on AC is 11.5 sec. Trigger Iron Skin 4.5 seconds after AC fades, you’d be vulnerable to Stone Gauntlets’ slow only for those 4.5 seconds.
65% is a magical value because you won’t miss a Fire cycle with AC, ever.
In our paragon range, it feels dangerous again GR130+ and I understand this gearing approach for near constant attacking and increasing the average shield stacks.
So, does Iron Skin negate the Stone Gauntlets negative effect as well?
[Normally, I’d test in the field on my own but between work and grinding caldesan gems in my spare time, just haven’t really played with the build itself much]
Will be 8% CDR or 15% BS depending CDR on other slots. Personally, I d consider Area damage as well and look for BS% from tower shield passive. Gz on the primal.
I have poor CDR, as I went with IAS everywhere. So we only have the Leoric’s Diamond, the shield, and the shoulders. Nothing on rings, weapon, or gloves.
Second, I only have 15% from Ice Climbers. I did not have a BS% Leoric’s Crown, and I use the Stand Your Ground-Finery-Indestructable-Fervor package of passives.
