Shield Warrior Builds are STRONG in Dawn of the Hunt | Path of Exile 2
288Warriors received a handful of buffs (and one big nerf) to their shields skills. Shield Charge, Resonating Shield, and Shield Wall have seen buffs in their damage numbers, and we see a new high-stun buildup Shield Bash ability that you can perform after blocking an attack with Raise Shield (though currently there is some bugginess in the game where boss's will often just, ignore the heavy stun inflicted when using this ability and attack you from an invisible location. Really weird).
Magma Barrier was hit hard with the nerf bat unfortunately; this invalidates my previous build as far as its one-shotting Pinnacle boss potential, but apparently the skill + Trampletoes is still a legit way to grind maps. They also buffed Magma Barrier's armour scaling, which is helping it perform much better in the early game.
Overall Warriors have felt pretty good with this update, and I am hype to come up with some more endgame builds once I get there. Stay tuned!
