1h + shield hardcore build.

This build is the best defence against Spells and Attacks.
It is very important to have high life and life leech on top of that.
With that build you need 151 INT to use 20 lvl Enfeeble for Defence and 20 lvl Vulnerability for Offence.
For spells you need Saffell's Frame:
Spoiler

Elemental Adaptation (+2% maximum Fire/Cold/Lightning Resistance)
Purity for +4 max res
+ 10 max resists flasks
Fairgraves' Tricorne for Shock-Immunity

For attacks you need Lioneye's Remorse:
Spoiler

It has everything we need! Block/Armour/Life. It is nearly impossible to craft a better one.
Flame totem + Blind for 76.25% chance to Evade.
High block / High armor.
3-6 Endurance Charge.

I played a lot of the time with 30k Armour and 4 Endurance Charges.
Now I have 24k Armour and 3 Endurance Charges and I am totally finde.
You only need more Armour and Endurance Charges if you want to tank Vaal Slams.
But until you get high Armour it's better to have 4-6 Endurance Charges.

Important Notes/Gems:
It's very important to have 4-6% life leech from Gear.
Also 2% mana leech if you don't use Soul Taker.
The amount of % leech is based on your physical DPS. If your DPS is low you have to get like 4% mana leech to sustain your skills.
It all depends on your gear.

As for offence it's up to you. You can take Double Strike/Heavy Strike/Cleave/Frenzy. It really doesn't matter

I use frenzy with Melee Splash because i don't care about mana costs(Soul Taker).It does around 20% more DPS than Double Strike.

Bandit Rewards:
Spoiler

Take the HP on Normal
Take the Physical DMG/Skill Point
Take the Frenzy Charge/Endurance Charge

Before this Build I was Frenzy Duelist so it was easy to respec for 6 Frenzy Charges.


Frenzy Charges give Attack Speed and Cast Speed. Frenzy buffs basically your other skills.

Before I started to use Soul Taker I played with 332 Phys DPS slow Axe and Heavy Strike with Melee Splash
(it's terrible because you knockbacking all mobs around you :D).
And I was able to play 50% regen maps without any mana leeching problems.

Use Enduring Cry for Enduring Charges :P

I use Leap Slam and Flicker Strike for moving, so i don't need any move speed on boots or Quicksilver Flask.

Hi,

Your life gain on hit gem in the chest is not linked with the other sockets.
So you should not get life with it with your main atack in the chest.

Why dont you want that huge evasion chance with 'blind' totem? With an hp pool that high you aren't getting stunned very often...

Did not realize he was using a Blind totem, my fault.

In that case, you do not need it.
