No Rest for the Wicked

No Rest for the Wicked

My shield reflect build hope you enjoy.
I just finished the game by farming Level 10 Crucible and high-level/Burning gear for higher-tier Pestilence/Plague maps. I'm running a tanky shield reflect build now, and it's absolutely OP. I wasted a loooot of Fallen Ember rerolling my set, but it keeps rerolling the same stats — which is kind of weird.

Here are my stats and equipment — hope you guys enjoy!

Stats:

Health: 45
Stamina: 20
Strength : 42
Equip Load: 20

Equipment:

Blood-Rusted Sword
Enchantments:
Damage to Large Monsters
Gain Health on Kill
Stamina gain
Flex
Flex

Greath Shield Hightower
Enchantments:

Reduced Damage Taken While Blocking
Deal Damage on Block
Healing
Stamina (based on durability)

Plate Helm
Enchantments:
Reduced Damage Taken
Increased Healing
Stamina Recovery
Flex
Flex

Plate Armor
Enchantments:
Reduced Damage Taken at Low Health
Regenerate
Stamina Recovery
Flex
Flex

Plate Pants
Enchantments:
Reduced Damage Taken (based on durability)
Increased Healing
Stamina
Flex
Flex

Mesh Gloves
Enchantments:
Reduced Damage Taken (based on durability)
Gain Health on Stagger
Physical Damage
Stamina Recovery
Flex

Rings:
Snake Ring
Feather Ring
Flex Ring (using Ring of Determination for Fire enchantment buffs cost health)

Gems:
Haven’t socketed any yet — not sure what to use since they can't be removed.

Kills via blocking count as "Health on Kill" due to the weapon enchantment, and with 400 HP, I’m recovering tons of health.

Other than that — yeah, Crucible echo buffs are a must. I really hate some of the mechanics on the final boss though 😄

Would you like help optimizing your build or choosing gems next?

What do you mean by 'Flex' ?
One of my toons got similar build, but I use the legendary shield from bandit boss. You can get 25% damage on block, but maybe possible to get that high on a purple one?

You can also gem the shield with lifesteal, still not sure if that’s better or use physical damage instead.

I only have one lifesteal gem and not sure why im playing like 100+hrs now so unlucky
I have not gotten a single lifesteal gem. And the new enchantments sucks. You wasted a lot of ember, because it only rolls between 5 or 6 same ones. And none of them are partically good or interesting. Old enchancement were much more interesting

Looks like there is a shield specifically made for a shield reflect build. I'm reflecting 280-300 damage per hit with this, in crucible.
