Kripp's Life Stacker Infernalist

Stack life on everything. STR = life. Life = Spirit (from Ascendancy Skill later on), more regen, more stun threshold. More Spirit = more minions!

Armor reduces fire damage taken, 20% of lightning damage taken, 20% of cold damage taken.

While levelling, get enough Int and Dex to be able to use your gems, and the rest in Str for extra health. Don't be afraid to respec these stat nodes if your gear changes to meet new requirements

This is the setup you would use until tier 10+ maps. At that point, it is not possible to survive one-shots on a life based build and you should consider the Sniper Explode version of this build with Ghostwrite and Energy Shield.
