Ive changed some things since the video..

  • using First to Strike, Last to Fall instead of Worthy Foe (check out the section bellow on how to set it up!)
  • allocated some missing life mastery
  • remove instant leech. (I didnt notice a difference with it on or off in simu so i removed points)

First to Strike, Last to Fall setup

  • use Corrupting Fever linked to Lifetap Support to proc, or just let it proc naturally.
  • use life mastery for "low life =55% of life"

How it Works

TLDR

  • Replica Dreamfeather scales our % attack damage.
  • use Wrath and Smite to get flat damage. This is why we dont bother with phys>elemental conversion or matching skill damage types. i.e molten strike is a fire skill but we only scale lightning.
  • We will get most of our armour by converting evasion rating to armour with Iron Reflexes. Due to the way this works, flat evasion is more valuable than flat armour.
  • Use flasks and auras like Determination and Grace to get % More Armour and Evasion.
  • Since we are using lots of auras we will get lots of increased effect of non-curse auras to scale our armour, flat lightning damage and energy shield!
  • since we have lots of armour, we can use Aegis Aurora to recover full energy shield every time we block!
  • lastly we use Doryani's Prototype to reduce enemy resistances to the cap of -200!
