I've been running this build for a bit and I get a lot of messages from people when I do rotations so I figured I'd share it here. There is still room to improve on the build (like using rares instead of so many uniques) but for what I use it for it's been fine so far.

Ran one simulacrum and got to wave 20 standing still and holding right click.

Only 3k ES with CI but pob says it has 200k EHP and 55k max hit. I think the dps is around 5 million but I'm not positive if I calculated it correctly.

It feels fairly tanky to play but is weak to dot damage. Another downside is that you have to weapon swap for movement skills because its very socket starved. This sounds worse than it is in practice because while mapping you're stopping every second to use frenzy anyway and for bosses you want to stand still for vines to get damage boost/damage reduction. I have a KB/CF champ and the mapping playstyle feels very similar. Swapping out purifying flame for flame dash or shield charge is an option too but you lose out on 12% increased damage taken to enemies by doing so.

I converted it to an omni version with twice the dps (33k ehp/max hit) but I haven't tested it in game yet so I'm not 100% sure it's ready. I can post that pob too if anyone is interested.

edit: Here's a video of a map run. Had to drop 500k dps and use lower level faster attacks to use torrent's reclamation instead of headhunter. Also noticed that I forgot to craft the flask I replaced last night so cinderswallow never gets used.
