Steel Shrine

[Infiltraitor]

2/9/2017 This build is now decomissioned due to Reaper Mode.

Self Healing, which is one of the main powers of a Paladin, has been reduced heavily. Additionally, close-ranged party healing has been eliminated due to the fact that Reapers can one-shot non-tanks. The build is showing it's age and is no longer capable of functioning in the hardest content, despite being designed for the hardest content at the time circa 2014.

If you are currently in Steel Shrine, you can play it out as a DPS with some points in Henshin Mystic for the Melee Power and reincarnate at the first available opportunity. If you are stuck in heroics 12 or below, aim for a 15 Paladin / 3 Monk / 2 Favored Soul split to maximize DPS.

Steel Shrine

Steel Shrine is the most survivable tank you will ever play. This living fortress is a walking fountain of area-of-effect healing. The saves are so high that you won't even realize when you are fighting against spell-casters. If you have ever wanted to know what it felt like to BE a raid boss swatting enemies left and right, look no further.

How to play the Steel Shrine

It's the Battle Cleric on steroids. Let's get to know your buffs.

Permanent Buffs: Sacred Defense, Vigor of Battle
Questing Buffs: Holy Sword
Casual Pre-Fight Buffs: Divine Favor, Divine Might, Intolerant Blows
Heavy Duty Melee: Human Damage Boost, Legendary Dreadnought Haste Boost

Cast your questing buffs at the start of every quest and after every shrine. Use your casual pre-fight buffs as soon as you see an enemy encounter. If it is a boss fight or looks tough, you hit your triple action boosts and clean house.


The healing arsenal is Smite Foe, Consecration, Renewal, Cure Moderate. Use Lay on Hands only as a last resort.

Smite Foe costs no spell points, has low cooldown, and heals everyone nearby for about 150 (up to 400 for healing Amp junkies) . Use it as often as possible.
Consecration (if twisted) is your AOE healing.
Renewal is a your primary heal. Top off party members.
Cure Moderate is your secondary heal.
Lay on Hands is your emergency heal. Use this on yourself if everything else is on cooldown.
Unyielding Sovereignty is your multipurpose heal.

Your attack chain is: Cleave, Consecration, Smite Foe, Auto-Attack.
Your heal ability priority is: Renewal, Cure Moderate, Lay on Hands, Unyielding Sovereignty

For extremely difficult fights, you will need to fight/jump along the outer ring of your consecration ability. Example: In EE Vol, one of the lever rooms leads into a stairway room with a chest room at the bottom. With proper timing, it is possible to aggro all the monsters in the lever room, the stairs, and the room on the bottom at the same time for a EE fight with some 30 monsters in red dungeon alert. For those fights, Consecration, Cleave, Autoattack, Jump, Spam heals, Cleave, Autoattack, Spam Heals, Jump, Repeat.

How does Steel Shrine work?

1) DPS from Enhancements, Defenses from Destiny.
2) Offhand Thunderforged Orb = Action boosts all day long


Why does the first post keep changing?
I make a lot of mistakes. Updates occur as people inform me of errors and the like.

[Raezar]

Nice Job, you need to change your signature though. You can be the weakest but I am the noobest player in Omnipresence ~Anoob-1 Bus :P

[UurlockYgmeov]

How else can you heal when you can't cast spells, use divine abilities, and have all your SP drained from inferno?

Use Atonement.

What's in a name? Being named Reignbeau doesn't make me the most colorful. Being named Anoob doesn't change the fact that you are at least twice as skilled as I am as a player.

Use Atonement.

But... it doesn't have mortal fear...

[janave]

Cool build,
+1 for the nice layout!

Ty for the compliment but I disagree, and since there isn't a test to find out. We may never know. lol :P

[Spekdah_NZ]

Any chance of a AP breakdown?

I can see some of the AP's derived by breakdowns (to the fore, harper), and some twists like Legendary Shield Mastery for a T2 slot. But a post would be lovely :-)

[Infiltraitor]

Heroic leveling is a matter of grabbing your DPS essentials and fattening up along the way. You'll be playing as a slightly weaker DPS until about level 11 when you start to fatten up your defenses considerably. This will continue until level 14, where you will find yourself seriously lagging in DPS until level 20.

At 14, pure paladins will have access to Holy Sword and start doing about 30% more dps than you will. You'll stay about 30% behind full paladins until level 20, where you will have Holy Sword as well in addition to Ameliorating Strike at level 19. It is a small price to pay to be unstoppable later on.

When leveling in heroics, you will want to go Knight of the Chalice instead of sacred defender for DPS. You'll be much happier. Exalted Cleave on a Carnifex does 4d12+2 (28 avg)



Went full tard on the DPS to make up for the lack of holy sword. This is necessary to gimp our way to 20.


Once you hit level 12, max out the Holy Retribution skill. Your attack sequence will be: Avenging Cleave, Exalted Cleave, Holy Retribution, Exalted Smite, Divine Sacrifice. The two cleaves soften everything up, then holy retribution, Exalted Smite, and Divine Sacrifice everything that is left.

I did THIS while Elite Streaking through Trial by Fire. Killed everything in my way, didn't bother to shrine, and still had a boatload of exalted smites left over. That Deathnip heavy pick is doing 800 dmg crits with exalted smite.


Took my 4th favored soul level at 18 instead of 19. Respecced for Ameliorating Strike, more healing amp, two less ranks of divine sacrifice, and otherwise full Chalice DPS to solo Enter the Kobold as an Evasion DPS. Good times were had by all. The ability to respec between Evasion DPS, Armored Tank, and AOE Healing is not to be discounted.


Even when Streaking through Epics, Deathnip is still pretty awesome. 13-20/x5 is means that crits contribute 160% to your normal hitting damage. You can still steamroll stuff even in full tank spec thanks for Holy Sword. For XP zerging purposes, I'm starting to like the Paladin cleave more than a few measly points in Harper.

EDIT: Duh !!! Never mind, I figured it out.

Lol. You should see the number of mistakes I made. The first 20 replies were people pointing out the errors in my math. My thanks to people like them, and you.

NP.. I definitely will try this build. I have a Pally at lvl 28 and wanted something new to try, but still keep my pally gear.
I am not experienced in the TR process, so I had to ask my guild for help, but I want to turn my lvl 28 pure pally into this PDK version.

6 Favored Soul: Follower of the Morning Lord*

Hmm... I'm unable to locate Follower of the Morning Lord feat

[Infiltraitor]

Hmm... I'm unable to locate Follower of the Morning Lord feat

PDK follows Morning Lord. Humans follow Sovereign Host. As it is a granted class feat, it is more or less automatic. Don't worry about finding it. It will be yellow and exclude all other choices when it happens.

[pappo]

I said earlier that I had a Pally at lvl 28 who would be doing an Epic TR and I wanted to then Heroic TR and try this build.
I wanted to make sure I know how you finally ended because you were PDK with bastard swords using CHA, and then you were a STR build with picks, and then Human.
What has all your testing made your final build?

Human is strongest. PDK comes close. Final Race is human.
Bastard Sword hits 5% harder. Heavy Pick crits 50% harder. Final weapon is Heavy Pick.

Much testing was done and many revisions made. Like a boatload of EE soloing and stress testing. Human with Heavy Pick is where we are at now. I am fairly confident that this is the final build.

Ok, thanks for the quick response. Did you end up with a STR or CHA build?

1.26.2015 Currently testing 15/4/1 Monk for competitive raiding

Steel Shrine

Human - Divine Crusader
Paladin 14 / Monk 2 / Favored Soul 4

Warning: This build requires prior use of a +1 Dexterity Tome, AND a +5 Constitution Tome, AND a +1 Lesser Heart of Wood if PDK.

Summary:

The Steel Shrine is an experiment in tanking gone horribly wrong. If you've ever wanted to tank a Deathwyrm without a healer, or the Stormreaver without lightning absorb, or go smooching Lady Vol until she's out of breath, this is the build for you. The defenses on this build are nothing short of astounding. Steel Shrine brings an excess of Physical damage mitigation, Magical damage mitigation, Saves vs everything, Hit Points, Healing Ability, and DPS.

History:

Steel Shrine is also the original Paladin + Favored Soul build, having been painstakingly gimped to XP cap well before the Heavy Armor and Holy Sword changes for the sole purpose of acquiring the EE Mark of Death world first completion. We got it within an hour of U23's release on 9/29/2014. It has been tested and refined over the course of the 3 months since into the indestructible killing machine we have today. If there exists a more survivable tank, I haven't seen it.

Build Features:

1300* Hit Points
400 HP Ameliorating Strike per 15 second cooldown
200+ HP per Tick Rejuvenating Cocoon
80-90* in all saves.
189* PRR
1000* DPS Unboosted
3000* DPS while Triple-Boosted with Human Damage Boost, Legendary Dreadnought Haste Boost, and Divine Crusader Zeal
Offhand Thunderforged Orb regenerates Action Boosts

* My screenshot numbers will be higher due to reincarnation. For example, 189 + 27 Divine Past Life + 9 PDK = 225.

Build Variation: 15 Paladin / 4 Favored Soul / 1 Fighter

If you decide to keep the fighter level from PDK, this variation allows you to grab Kensei Haste Boost at tier 1, in addition to grabbing Zeal spell at level 15. Since that doesn't stack with Legendary Dreadnought Haste Boost, you swap it for Critical Damage twist instead for the extra 6 seeker. The net effect is approximately 10% more DPS at the cost of giving up 10% healing amp from monk, and the 2 intimidate from Fighter Past Life Feat.

Build Variation: 15 Paladin / 4 Favored Soul / 1 Monk

Testing this variant for competitive raiding, which favors glass cannons. Giving up a little defense for much more DPS.

How hard was it to get the armor? gear ?

[Infiltraitor]

How hard was it to get the armor? gear ?

That belt took over 100 flesh makers, with over 900 shards spent rerolling.
The Litany, sanctified gages, ring of Malevolence, Shroud of Ardent, die fix Diadem ,took a combined 100 Mark of Deaths.
40 Deathwyrm for the heavy pick.
40 Fire peaks for the orb.
20 Tower of Despair for the ring.
60 Ghost of perdition for the Bracers. .
Everything else was gotten within 10 runs of their quests.

The armor took 1 run to the astral shards exchange.
