Heartbound Loop / Cast on Minion Death

The build is IN NO WAY HC VIABLE. Any aoe attack/spell just clears all your minions instantly for way too much damage and you end up 1-shotting yourself.

So basically, what do you aim for in this build? Defenses. Your damage is through elemental equilibrium and elemental nodes, the rest goes into defenses.

In order to get the highest amount of procs, you need to be taking full physical damage from your heartbound loop. At the same time, you want to mitigate the damage taken in some way. So how do you go about doing that? CWDT counters work with all damage taken, regardless from where it's taken from, be it life, energy shield, or mana. So why not go for all three?

splits the physical (and chaos) damage taken among both ES and HP pools. This lets you stack defenses like a complete idiot.
*Getting 5 corrupted items would normally be hard, but it's actually pretty easy with this build due to the uniques you utilize. Look into the gear/gem setup tab below*

You use Zealot's Oath to replenish your ES as damage is taken, while you pot your life pool from beneath it.

Grab Mind over Matter so damage is taken from your mana pool before life.

What's the result? 0% physical mitigation (yes, ZERO) so your cwdt heartbound procs fastest.
However, you have 50% of physical damage taken from ES, and 50% from life. The, 30% of the 50% taken from life will be redirected to your mana pool. (this is fine since you're not casting anything anyways)

What all of this means is that, from the full 100% physical damage, you will be taking:
50% from your energy shield,
15% from your mana pool,
35% from your life pool.

Essencially 65% physical mitigation whilst having 0% physical reduction.

Now that that's settled, use cwdt to summon some minions, and drop an SRS totem while running around like a complete imbecile and potting like there's no tomorrow.

2 questions.

How many ground slam builds are out there? (ground slam cause its a generic skill)

Are you that sour that someone does it better than you?

PS by the way you describe the build using phrases like "stack defenses like a complete idiot" , "running around like a complete imbecile" you sure paint a pretty picture of the build's author and his mindset.

Err, I think you got the wrong idea. I neither think his build is better, nor am sour about it, just wanted to contribute with the concept of taking full phys while mitigating according to the build's mechanics. Also, 'stack defenses like a complete idiot' and 'running around like a complete imbecile' are both referrals to myself.
