[2.1] Making builds for everyone! Come and check it out!
" Holy shitting fuck... the amount of dedication in this, +1 man, First off the bat, lightning strike + Added Lightning damage = no go, you need physical damage to get more out of the damage conversion, so, maybe Fortify :) Secondly, the skill tree looks fine to me, you've got plenty of block, some elemental damage, and lots of damage mitigation if block fails, so, it looks alright so far via the tree. I just saw the last spoiler (im writing this as im reading lol) and i would replace Added Lightning with Fortify, because its probably best that way, since melee damage > Lightning damage, or... Phys > Lightning (shit son, you could even go PTL) Now, just a tiny heads up, i know you didnt mention this, but to add more to my point of "physical damage is needed more then flat elemental/elemental damage" I would highly recommend not using Hyaon's Fury, mostly because its flat elemental damage, and thats only mostly good with Spectral throw and cyclone (since they hit super fast) I can try and get more damage via the tree, but i don't entirely think that's you're intention, since you want to be pure tank :P As for the form you filled out, with this much information you've given to me, there really isnt a need, since that form is for a build that is fresh, not rerolled :P But yeah, you're lacking a biiiiiit of life, you can always fill up the scion life wheel while you level, other then that, tankyness/10 :P If damage is later on a concern, please let me know, and ill change some things around! :) Twitch: twitch.tv/slayertip

Well yes i want to be a tank but i still want decent dps ... would i really benefit more from dmg conversion than going with pure lightning ? I could go with fortify instead in this case but the physical part would be almost wasted since it wouldnt benefit from -resist and would be so small armor would reduce it sooo much ... and dmg conversion would only comvert the actual dmg to lightning leaving me with more stable dmg but less nonetheway no ? Well fortify would enable me to use frenzy charges since the degen would be lowered ... would it make up for the dps loss ? If it really is one ? Or fortify with halcyon to use the inc dmg from the sword ... if i get my hands on a 6l i defenetly could... making the synergy even better ... hummmm questions questions questions

" if you focus on physical damage first and foremost then use Physical to Lightning Gem, your DPS will boost incredibly, you wont lose much DPS (you might actually gain it) with fortify, as it has melee physical damage :) I'm assuming by degen, you mean from Blood Rage (which would proc the frenzy charges), then no, the degen will still be the same, but the benefit (defence wise) from fortify will be increased armour = more physical mitigation What do you mean with Halcyon? Do you mean Hyaon's? if so, i would probably recommend against using that, as i have explained earlier :P So, basically... a quick little tip for you when you theorycraft For Phys > Elemental conversion skills (Ice Crash for cold, Molten Strike for Fire, and Well, Lightning Strike for Lightning) Physical damage is huge, its converting FROM that. In your case, with Physical to Lightning, you're not only converting, but you're adding damage from the secondary mod on the gem, which already is a huge plus (and i sincerely hope GGG implements Physical to Cold and Physical to Fire (and Chaos even since thats a thing now) and it synergizes perfectly... As for the 6L, this build is possible with a 5L even man, just do this Lightning Strike, LMP, Physical to Lightning, Fortify, Lightning Penetration Focus on getting a 20Q Lightning strike for more pierce chance (i think its 60% pierce chance at 20%) hope this helps :) Twitch: twitch.tv/slayertip

Yeah. I meant the sword. Ill take your word on physical and try to find a huge dps non crit one and go for the conversion route ... will start it when u get my hands on the needed rares and let you know how it goes.
Since the lightning sword is cheap i probably will test both options and ill let you know how it goesthx for the heads up. | |

" One more thing, I'm running something similar on a templar, resolute technique and iron reflexes, I have no problem with staying alive using arctic armour and molten shell, but from what I see they aren't very good with evasion builds, should I drop the nodes of acrobatics etc and put on iron reflex and unwavering stance or use different gems for defense? | |
" In my opinion, its best to go Iron Reflexes (Armour based), Evasion is terribly shit these days. Twitch: twitch.tv/slayertip
