Wanted to make this post as it felt like a good time to figure out how things aew going, now rhat Resolve has made most builds almost immortal.

What's working for you guys? Are any builds breaking the mold aside from Clash or Shield of Ret?

Hopefully we can compile an idea of what works or doesn't since I imagine a lot of people don't wanna play Clash and having an idea of what people have tried or not wou

From what I can gather, Auradin and Arbiter Wings don't go far past Pit 100 nor do they do well for bossing. So they're meh right now. But thats mostly because I haven't seen either of those builds after Pit 10. So can't comment.

Brandish got me to Pit 105 with about 90 on my runes and near perfect gear (followed a similar build to clash. Except I can scale from resolve so go figure). And Divine Lance was strange. It was doing similar to Brandish for me. But bossing for Brandish sucks and Divine Lance is slower for Pit than Brandish.

Any luck with Zealot in higher pit/bossing? I know Zealot is doing well in lower pits but the only Zealot build I saw in the leaderboards was Divine Lance.

ld be helpful as a starting point at least.

So, I went against the grain and said I wanted Brandish, but man o man it's been a weird trip to T12. As it is, I am currently jam stuck in T11, I have the damage, but most things 1 shot me, and what doesnt makes me slowly trickle to death (not very fun).

I include the build planner I have, and hopefully I can get some ideas on survivability?

Note: I have seen that some people run Angelic Masterwork over Indomitable, would that make sense even if I am running Shield Bearer?

And I suppose its fair to ask, is Shield Bearer, and by extension redirected force even worth it? from what I can tell, block chance is pretty rough (noticeable since Im actively buffing it up via Aegis).

Anywho, I'll take any advice on what to do. Gotten pretty far, but I think with some survivability I can almost catch up to hammer.

Im currently rocking Wing Strike but legitimately falling asleep at having to walk around and not really do much.

Has anyone had any success with Divine Lance or Brandish? Im at T8 attempting to find a way to transition builds but I do want to stay in the vicinity of Arbiter.

All I see in the leaderboards is either wing strike, hammerdin or auradin, or a combination of the three. Im wondering if anyone has had any success with off meta builds in higher tiers?
