Path of fun's Notes

This build is very tanky and has massive AoE and burst damage, making it perfect for content like Simulacrum, Ritual, and Breach. It still performs well in other types of content, though.

The build uses self-damage from Infernal Legion Skeletal Warriors and Heartbound Loop to store damage for Iron Ward. I also use Skeletal Clerics to revive dead Skeletal Warriors, so this build needs to stack a large amount of Spirit. Since the build has many undead minions, Dark Defiler becomes the best-in-slot option.

Because we take a lot of damage from Heartbound Loop, the build requires strong recovery and solid physical damage reduction. To achieve this, I use Sacrosanctum to recoup both Life and Energy Shield. For physical damage reduction, the setup simply stacks a large amount of armour.
