How to use the Aegis of Valor set

The Aegis of Valor set splits its bonuses between Fist of the Heavens Fist of the Heavens and Heaven's Fury Heaven's Fury, using the former (mostly) as a defensive and resource management tool, and the latter — to deliver devastating damage. The set is powerless outside those two skills, and relies heavily on their interaction, sob be prepared to focus your playstyle accordingly.

  • 2-piece bonus
    • Attacking with Fists of the Heavens empowers you, allowing Heaven's Fury to deal 100% increased damage for 5 seconds. Stacks up to 3 times multiplicatively.
  • 4-piece bonus
    • Hitting with Fist of the Heavens returns 5 Wrath and reduces damage taken by 1% for 10 seconds. Stacks up to 50 times.
  • 6-piece bonus
    • Increase the damage of Fist of the Heavens and Heaven's Fury by 20,000%.

The 2-piece set bonus is a stacking, self-multiplicative damage amplifier for Heaven's Fury Heaven's Fury that persists for 5 seconds after casting Fist of the Heavens Fist of the Heavens and does not reset, it simply needs to be refreshed on a regular basis.

The 4-piece bonus is protection-oriented, offering a stacking damage reduction buff — and whose 'hit' requirement works with the Fissure Fissure ticks, making it easily stackable and persistent, and the rune next to mandatory.

The 6-piece bonus is a straightforward damage buff to the main spenders of the build, and while Heaven's Fury Heaven's Fury undoubtedly ends up stronger (due to the 2-piece multiplication bonus and accompanying synergistic items), Fist of the Heavens Fist of the Heavens is still quite capable and able to pull off a build of its own.
