Smith of Kitava - Iron Ward

I dont know how to format, sorry.

This build is a copy/inspired by Baumi's Magical World i know he posted before here, but couldnt find the link anymore.

Ive tried his blood mage version first, felt better, because you get iron ward stacks back when you use iron ward. But tankiness was kinda meh. And i think the blood mage ascendancy doesnt prevent damage, but prevents the life only, ive tested it and you always get the same iron ward stacks, with it or without. Still a good defensive layer.

Later ive decided to try his version on warbringer because i had one and was really poor to respec. Warbringer felt amazing, better than bloodmage. Because you invest in block, block is more damage, and armour break is also more damage. The jade thingy was also ok, when you hear the boom for a big hit, you just press it.

When you get few key itens, just spam ultimatum and it takes max 15 minutes for a full run, the fragments are worth 20 divines, thats how i farmed for extra loot. Anyway went with this version, kitava. feels like you do less damage but die less often also. I changed the tree many times, and you adapt how you like it.

This build would be hardcore viable in my opinion, you only need the heartbound loop to make it work, the rest is damage. The other mechanic is damage prevented Dreamcore recoup video with scarred faith keystone you prevent all self damage already.

Holy thats a lot of text, skip :D

one map, quality is super bad and same map, dcd cause servers and pc same map, quality still bad the map took a lot of time, but these abyss mobs sometimes they dont take much dmg, sometimes they insta die, who knows why. Almost died, but i was trying to showcase nothing else, was also cursed. Did all the content besides uber arbiter of ash, i died, because you still have to dodge the thingys, but it can be done ezpz.

here is my poe ninja profile: Builds - LoveNestle - Path of Exile 2 - poe.ninja dont mind my name. First time getting somewhere in poe2 and felt great. Have a bleed build in mind, with iron ward, but for next season if it doesnt get nerfed. Not really super great explained: But its a 2 buttons build, and one is for shock. Trial feels great also, because you always have the stacks up when you need it. The best content for it is the purple mechanic, cant remember the name, because they do a lot of physical damage, and you stack it really fast.

My order for best content is: Ultimatum, Sekhemas, Purple Mechanic, The Delirium Mechanic. And everything else.
