The Paladin has different types of attacks, and those who prefer to utilize Juggernaut Skills for their builds will fancy the Mantle of the Grey.
This Ancestral Unique Chest Armor was added in Season 11, which is when the Paladin was introduced, and it provides a good trade-off between Skill Size and Resolve consumption.
Providing the Paladin with a way to deal more damage with Juggernaut Skills, this Chest Armor is not just good for defense; it adds a decent boost to offense as well.
Mantle of the Grey Affixes
- +[733-790] Maximum Life
- +[497-683] Thorns
- +[1-2] to Juggernaut Skills
- +[2-3] to Thorns and Thistles
Mantle of the Grey Unique Power
Juggernaut Oath makes your Juggernaut Skills 25% larger but consumes Resolve equal to your Maximum Life, granting [6.0 – 12.0]%[x] increased Juggernaut Skill damage for each point consumed.
Mantle of the Grey Effects
With Mantle of the Grey equipped, you gain a boost when it comes to the size of your Juggernaut Skills, which is great for fighting hordes of enemies.
This also causes Resolve to be used often, leaving you with less most of the time, but in return, you deal more damage along with the size increase.
For those who have builds that can easily generate Resolve, Mantle of the Grey can be utilized well when it comes to dishing out loads to more enemies.
Mantle of the Grey Uses
Paladins that are built mainly to use Juggernaut Skills will often have multiple ways to generate Resolve, and if they can maintain a high upkeep, this is where Mantle of the Grey comes in.
Since Mantle of the Grey will often eat up the Paladin’s Resolve, this will provide you not only with the larger area for Juggernaut Skills but also the ability to deal more damage.
As you reach the endgame phase of your builds, you will later be able to sustain Resolve and even have a seemingly infinite number of stacks from time to time.
This makes Mantle of the Grey a decent addition for almost any Paladin Juggernaut Build and even ones that utilize other types of skills if Resolve can be generated.
How To Get Mantle of the Grey?
Mantle of the Grey can be obtained from several sources, which include chests, activities, and even random loot drops, but certain bosses have a higher chance to drop it.
Obtainable from the following bosses:
- Lord Zir
- Grigoire
- Urivar
- Varshan
Verdict
Mantle of the Grey is a strong Ancestral Unique for Paladins who lean heavily into Juggernaut Skills and can reliably generate and sustain Resolve during extended fights.
By trading Resolve consumption for increased skill size and scaling damage, this chest armor rewards aggressive playstyles that thrive in dense enemy encounters and endgame content.
While it requires thoughtful build planning to offset its heavy Resolve usage, Mantle of the Grey ultimately offers excellent offensive value for Juggernaut-focused Paladin builds.
