Shield Bash Forge Guard Endgame Build

About

A fun high potential build, Shield Bash Forge Guard can clear all pinnacle content and can comfortably farm at 800+ corruption. We start by making sure that Sigils of Hope is at max, activate Ring of Shields on cooldown and then close the distance using Shield Rush. Once in close proximity strike away with Shield Bash which will automatically trigger Healing Hands for added survivability and damage.

The loot filter can be found here.
