↖ Understanding the Tech
This technique is based on the idea that any stun hit restores 60% of your life from damage you would have taken (if stunned). One thing to note is that this does not help against one-shot kills. We are talking about creating a pseudo-avoidance mechanism here. The key here is to maintain as little Energy Shield as possible.
↖ Energy Shield Mastery
To achieve this, use Energy Shield Mastery which bases your stun threshold on your Energy Shield rather than life. It's better if you manage to get zero or very minimal Energy Shield.
↖ Immutable Force
This unique jewel plays an important part in this set up where it reduces the time of stuns almost making them negligible though it should be understood that no form of stun immunity or avoidance should be used in one's build.
↖ Build Requirements
For this tech to work well, you will need two jewel sockets, no stun avoidance, low energy shield (less than 200 preferably) and Energy Shield Mastery.
↖ Efficiency in Combat
Every hit that stuns you recovers life for you when it comes this setup.This gives a substantial defensive boost equivalent to having 90% max resistance due to the mitigation of damage.
↖ Synergy with Other Mechanics
Pairing with Petrified Blood or Idol of Eternity makes it even more effective. In some cases, Defiance of Destiny can lead nearly immortal builds when combine with this.
↖ Pseudo EHP Increase
In essence, this setup increases your Effective Hit Points (EHP) by a significant margin. If you aren’t getting one shot and have reasonable HP as well as mitigation, it can be very strong.
↖ Limitations
It is important to understand that this does not prevent one-shots or DoT (Damage over Time). The strategy works best against multiple hits or shotgunning attacks.
↖ Jewel Optimization
For optimal results, target high roll on Immutable Force. Optimal gameplay feel requires stun duration to be less than the server tick which happens at a threshold of about 963 and above.
↖ Final Thoughts
Every softcore player should consider this setup particularly if he qualifies for it. Though having limitations, its value in terms of making you more tanky is undeniable.
With these strategies your build can become a fortress that can withstand anything Wraeclast throws at it. Keep in mind, the right combinations of jewels and game mechanics understanding makes all the difference there is.
