Thanks PT for excelent video tutorial.

My question is. For Low Life version do you need Shavronne's Wrappings armour, or 75% of chaos resistance would be enough for T15 Atlas of Worlds content?

The shav is a must for any serious low life build, just play CI until you can afford one its ok.

Thanks for explanation.

And BTW on the tree you can get max 50% Pierce chance. Or am I wrong?

Thx for the guide, I will try this build in the new league.
Maybe a leveling guide would be great, which gems you choose and which items help you.

Can't decide on which way to go: life, low life, ci, hybrid?

What are the pros and cons? Which one is your favorite?

I might be able to help here:

Life: Champion for the extreme tankyness, lowest damage

Hybrid: Occultist to provide both ES and life regen in addition to some more utility. Occultist will have lower tooltip dps than trickster, but due to -20% chaos res to nearby enemies it will have very high damage output.

CI: tankiest version due to huge ES pool. both Occultist and trickster are good choices. trickster is faster and has higher tooltip due to frenzy charges, occultist has other utilities and again the crazy good -chaos res aura.

Low Life: same as CI, but less ES and more damage.
