Hi everyone! I had a late start to the league (about a month in) and rolled Infernal Blow to start. Ended up playing that build to level 100 and 38 challenges. Here's where that character ended up:

I don't quite know how much this character cost me in the end, since all the rares were crafted at least partly by me. Here are the key features:
- 4.15M DPS without flasks, 4.71M with flasks
- Satisfying clear with Anomalous Infernal Blow and Divergent Melee Splash
- Maximum effect of Scorch, Brittle, and Sap against most enemies (basically everything except 100% Delirium)
- 6.5K life with persistent leech (overleech)
- 10% reduced damage taken, 20% reduced DoT taken
- 30K evasion without flasks, 34K with flasks
- Blind with 20% increased effect
- 100% spell suppression
- 58% physical damage taken as elemental without flasks, 73% with flasks
- 20% less elemental damage taken with flasks
- 21 Fortification stacks
- Elemental ailment immunity, Corrupted Blood immunity
- 34% chaos resistance, 74% against DoT
- 30% reduced extra damage taken from crits
- Steelskin on CwDT
The only content I tried that this character really wasn't suited for was 30-wave Simulacra. I was able to complete 30 waves, but Kosis in the later waves was painful with this amount of DPS (I was only able to get 8-10% brittle on him with my current setup).
There are certainly ways I could make this character do more damage (perhaps 8-10M DPS), but I like my defenses as they are, and I didn't care to spend more money on this build when I had other, more interesting build ideas to fund.
There's nothing super innovative about this build, but I can do a more in-depth video on it if there's any interest.
