I've have some more questions: Is it important which level my gems are? I mean not dmg ones, but those CWDT + Enfeeble + Inc. duration + Immortal call + Molten shell + Tempest shield + Blood rage + artic breath?

Everything you listed should be cwdt level 1 except for molten shell. They're all purely utility skills. For molten shell, the damage actually matters since you want it to nuke nearby mobs when you get bursted with phys damage.

I have to say this build is extremely solid. I tried a lot of different builds in 2.0 and most of them got shredded in act 4 merciless but not this one. Facetanked everything except merciless Malachai with some budget gear costing around 5c. Ripped a few times trying to solo merciless Malachai but he's pretty insane.

I have a few questions. Right now I'm sitting on only 1.8k armor of which 1.2k is coming from the shield. The other pieces provide a bit here and there. I assume you have 5.2k due to your shield and having lightning coil instead of CoF but in your calculations, you're assuming the CoF variant has 3.2k armor. What am I missing to make up that difference? I still need to pick up combat stamina but even so that's still only +30%.

Is there a significant duration difference between level 1 IC and level 20 IC with 3 endurance charges and max ID? I tried low level CWDT + IC and it really annoys me because it procs on basically any hit and has a pretty short immune duration. Main issue with leveling IC is of course you need to level CWDT too which means it procs less but I think I rather it proc only on really big hits and last longer anyway.

I have a 1.8k armor shield. There's 20% from Sanctity, 30% from Combat Stamina, and 40% from the "shield defense" node by Sanctuary (I could rant about how effective those nodes are, but that's for another day!). My amulet's also popping me a nice 16%. So for me it's over 3.7k armor from my shield alone, never mind the other pieces of armor.

CWDT is preference-based. I don't even use endurance charges, and I don't really mind the IC - it has yet to actually save my butt, and I'm considering swapping it out for more CWDT fun. But try running without EC's - it's very stress-free, and it doesn't matter what level your CWDT is since you're going off of IC's base duration.

I currently have 5.2k armor, but I know that most people won't be able to get a 1.8k armor shield. Therefore, I will assume a very, very modest 4k armor (and 3.2k armor for the CoF setup).

Hello, looking to gather the gear to try this out. If I'm going with cloak of flame what are the stats I should look for on a rare wand/scepter. Or should i just pick up a Doryani's. Thanks for the help.

So how do I get up to at least 3.2k armor with the CoF build without getting a 1.8k armor shield?
