I don't really have any experience with making my own builds; I was interested in replaying the Strength Stacker that Zizaran originally made with Mahuxotl's Machination; with the build being both tanky and able to do a fair amount of damage with Vaal Ground Slam;. I wanted to use Blunderbore and The Gull with this to make use of shrines.

I have tried referencing the PoB for the build and with some new items such as Melding I tried to make the build as tanky whilst also blocking. However, in doing so I know that I have avoided damage; after having a look I'm not too sure where I can path to that isn't very out of the way.

I have thought about lowering my investment into block and taking "Glancing Blows" to path more toward elemental damage up the left side of the tree.

Any and all help/advice is appreciated! I've never tried making my own build before and want to look into making more myself.
