Lundburgerr's 0.5 Shield Wall Smith Leaguestarter

• When you reach Act 2 you want to check the shops for a good Studded Greatclub to carry you until lvl 22. You also be on the lookout for a Shield with at least 80 armour, ideally more. And you wanna make sure yo pick up any Normal Body Armour that you can wear and put it in your stash, you will need it after you Ascend. The shop in town will update with new items every time you lvl up, so if you have yet to find a good shield, you might want to go back to town every now and then to check.
• In act 2, we skip killing Balbala in Traitors Passage. She is very hard to kill with Perfect strike and even if you can, it's just not very efficient. We can get a guaranteed Barya in Deshar later on after we swapped to Shield Wall. Doing the Sekhemas Trial is so much easier with Shield Wall compared to Rolling Slam + Boneshatter and Perfect Strike.
• After killing Jamanra the first time in Halani gates, we will get our first lvl 7 skill gem. This one we will use to cut Shield Wall. In order to guarantee a second lvl 7 skill gem, we do Mastodon Badlands area first, then we go to Keth. And in Keth the Snake boss will then always drop a lvl 7 skill gem, we use this to cut Freezing mark.
• Freezing Mark, doesn't actually do anything for us, instead it's the support we use on it, Mark for Death (To break armour) and Mark of Siphoning (To Leech) that are valuable. You might be missing strength and dexterity attributes to immediately equip Freezing mark at lvl 22, this is normal.
• If you are confident in your game play, you might have a Talisman and Pounce on a swap with the same supports which does not have that high attribute requirements. If you have a Talisman you can even use the second lvl 7 skill gem to cut Ferocious roar instead.

• When you reach lvl 22 you want to go back to town respec your character into Shield Wall. At this point you should have a Shield with at least 80+ Armour and if you're lucky you might even have a one handed mace with + to melee skills (Base type and damage doesn't matter).
• Go talk to the hooded one to respec some of your points, you want to remove all nodes in the Singular Purpose cluster, as we are not using two handed weapons anymore.

• In act 3 we will unlock Fortifying Cry and Sunder with our first T9 skill gems.
• Exploding the Shield Walls with Fortifying Cry will Boost our damage slightly and give us a little bit of guard.
• We use Sunder just to proc Sundered Armour on bosses after we break their armour, this will make the bosses take 40% increased physical damage taken instead of just 20%

In act 4 we get the enraged warcry support, which we'll slot into fortifying cry, which means we can completely ignore the cooldown if we have enough rage. Which we will always have at bosses for example.

• When you reach maps, do the third ascendency immediately and grab the coal stoker node.
• At this point you can just stack as much fire resistance as you can and you will cap all other resistances. This frees up so many mods on your gear that you can start stacking rarity before any other class.
• You can also get a Thrillsteel helmet as soon as you can, this will increase your attack speed and movement speed.

The last lineage support you are looking for is Uul-Netol's Embrace, which gives a substantial amount of chaos damage, and it also break armour for you. So you can update the mace at this point.
