Just look for the perfect prefixes on trade. One of the hardest parts of this build is tapping your resistances because Ward Loop builds are very squishy. We also have two suffixes on our belt ( Beast Trap Heavy Bealt) that help our flask sustain. Do not use Alchemist’s Genius or any modifiers that increase the effect of flasks because that also increases the less Ward modifier from the Olroth’s Resolve Iron Flask. Furthermore, we use two Medium Cluster Jewels ( Ghoul Splinter & Plague Ornament), which grants increased flask effect duration with increased effect. One of the main items we use for our flask sustain is the Brutal Restraint Timeless Jewel, which grants The Traitor Keystone. This is why our main focus in this build is all the modifiers to flask sustain. This flask needs to be active all the time and if it breaks, you die. Hence, you gain low damage reduction benefit of having extra Energy Shield or the Aegis. But since we are using a layer of flask, Ward does not break during the effect.Īnother fact is that Energy Shield and Aegis is of no use for Ward builds because the damage fast goes through them before applying the reduction.

Under normal circumstances, your Ward breaks after you take the damage. Ward recharges for seconds after it depletes.īut unlike Energy Shield, taking damage will not interrupt the Ward restoration time. This applies to all damage types, namely fire, cold, lightning, physical and chaos. This means, if I take a hit damage of 1000 while having a Ward of 1001, I take no damage at all. Ward is a form of defense that reduces the damage taken from a hit equal to the amount of Ward you have. This flask gives you permanent uptime of your Ward. The key ingredient of any Ward Loop build is the Olroth’s Resolve Iron Flask. Now, let’s take a look at my gear and I will explain what you really need to get started. In my case, I spent three Mirror Shots, which are sold for 13 Divine Orbs each. Let’s start with the first one and that is the budget to start this build. There are several things you have to prepare for before you start this build. If done in the wrong way, the Pussycats may fly out of your monitor towards your face. There are several things you need to know about this build before you start and this is not an easy build for beginners without a proper guide. In this guide, I will talk about my pussycat build for POE 3.21 Crucible League.
