Warrior/Knight Help Ignition Build Help?

I'm looking for a good build that uses Ignition because I can't afford mythics, and with no LI or hive items. I have one here that is basically perfect for me, except for the fact that I'm more vulnerable to water than fire itself: https://wynndata.tk/s/aUlZ89

The normal suggestion would be to get a piece of armor with high water defense. The problem is, that requires high intelligence, which I'm not interested in.

If anyone could find a build similar to this one that doesn't have the worst water defense on the planet, please let me know! (Don't forget no LI or hive items)

 

aka don't use leo

 

Man if only you were using Hive items, because the Fire division chestplate Soulflare would be perfect. In that case, the Hetusol would prolly be best to help patch up that - water defense and actually help your offense. pretty much anything but Leo, since its -200 XD

 

use chef hamsy's apron as well

 

Alright thanks, I don't know much about Hive, but how difficult would it be to get that chestplate? Would I be able to do it solo?

 

Well it's like Tower of Ascension but quite a bit harder, and you'll prolly need to either levelup to at least 90-ish before attempting solo, or get help from a group. The chestplate I'm mentioning here is Soulflare, which I also use in my Tank-Ignition build. It would put your thunder defense in the negative, but between powders and some accessory modifications it could be fixed. Soulflare would reduce certain stats in your build like raw HP and health regen, but fix your water defense right away, raise the likes of Life/Mana steal to help you survive with melee hits, and give enough intelligence to reduce War Scream/Bash by another mana point.

Try it and see if you think its worth the effort to get. Otherwise, hetusol would be fine in fixing your water defense as you wanted. GL on your build :)

 

I've changed it up a bit and added powders, but my thunder and air defense is still negative. Any suggestions? https://wynndata.tk/s/FAqnsy

 

WEll you still have one powder slot in the Greaves of the Veneer you could use an air or thunder on, but aside from that hmmm. Maybe search around for some necklaces, cuz Jester Necklace is... a very bizarre choice, I'm not really sure what you're going for with it. There are multiple defensive-based necklaces out there.

you could also substitute Justice with Solar Brace eventually (or fusion bracelet if u prefer element defenses over raw health and regen) but those require Legendary Island, which is far out of your reach atm. I'd do some research on necklace substitutes

 

Alright, I was thinking Jester Necklace for loot/xp grinding, but I should probably make a seperate set for that.

Here's what I got now: https://wynndata.tk/s/ugYryL
I managed to get all my defenses positive, but I feel like I'm gonna need more health than that. I'm thinking of using statue instead of scorpio, and just riding my horse everywhere so the walkspeed won't matter.. but that's kinda dumb so idk

 

Statue could bring you do about 20k health and good element defenses (and get you out of diamond fusion bracelet and having to do Legendary Island for it for element defenses) but definitely be a massive change and something to get used to, in combat as well.

To address the health, if you don't want Statue it is to replace Clock Amulet with Contrast, a Necklace from that last Hive challenge. It'll get you back to 15k health and keep your defenses positive. That'll likely be the best balance between Health and Element Defenses you're gonna get, so unless you end up changing your build entirely, Contrast for necklace is the last compromise i can think of for now.
