Anvil Striker 2.0
This build is the first (2.0) update to my Anvil Striker Keela Build. The build is a melee centric one and includes a lot of dmg reduction to allow face-tanking our enemies 95% of the time. There will be rare cases when we’ll need to move out of harms way for a moment before running back in. It’s good for both solo and group play.

The gear I recommend using is :
- the Anvil Strike Set (Daughter of the Forges)
- a Rocksplitter Hammer (100% melee attack dmg + 20% dmg reduction after a melee attack for 3 secs)
- a Corroder Pistol [until Forgeblood is fixed] (gives 200% dmg when hitting enemies that are in the moving circle)
- Mountain Pendant (cooldown decrease + energy regen)
- Granite Ring for dmg reduction + hp (or other of your choice with good rolls)
- Siegebreaker Ring for dmg + cooldwon decrease (or other of your choice with good rolls)

- Upgraded Automatons Superior (dmg reductioin buff for us + CDR for the turrets)
- Duelist’s Chain Reaction (up to 400% crit dmg which is 4 stacks of 100%)
- Hero of the Desert (a bit of everything)
- Alternating Pistons Superior (alternates between dmg reduction & dmg buffs + heals while alternating)
Legendary Ranks
My advice for every builds is: is start with Legendary Reinforcement and eventually based on whether you need dmg reduction or dmg start investing into either Legendary Endurance or Legendary Punishment. Eventually, get Legendary Crushing for more dmg reduction if really needed.
The God Skill Tree has one version that uses both trees:
