CaptainLance9's Notes
This build was used to tank the vast majority of heavy hits possible in path of exiles endgame and I wanted to share with you the defensive layers for the build that worked. It uses a combination of Transcendence, Armour Stacking, Veteran's Awareness and Physical taken as Elemental damage modifiers. I unfortunately really did not like the offensive setup of this build and therefore am not making a full guide as I highly do NOT recommend the offensive setup I went with for this build.
