1H Sword/Shield Reave Build

Who cares about life DPS the best, life wheel sucks

Well I said life wheel is overrated, not that it sucks. To reach the 225% increased life limit it is the only way to go about.

Completely untrue according to this(and some people I've read on the forum. Personally I don't use that helm):

Yep, Abyssus is quite manageable with good physical mitigation. A buddy was facetanking Colosseum with an abyssus max block high armour facebreaker, not even an Aegis Aurora build.

It would be a useless item otherwise.
The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.

In the end Mark GGG himself confirmed that it did not work that way in a recent thread....

Mark, if you are reading this thread, please...
I don't know about LC but I've always known it's applied after the mitigation from armour and it sure feels that way. Seemed logical the same rules would apply for other forms of mitigation.

I have used this build for one year plus, with Abyssus. Maps with vulnerability, 95% extra damage as fire n ice scaled from physical does make you die once in a while. I would still consider the Abyssus version a decent build, but for someone who cannot afford to die once between lvl 94 and 95 it makes a difference.
