First of all, nice build and now comes the BIG "BUT" (yeh I'm going to be "that" guy) :P

I found that your build lacks ALOT of life (only 118% isnt really much...) so I came up with a more "bulky / tanky" version.

I aimed for more life, more defense, more life reg, max endurance charges while droping some dmg.

Here's the tree I came up with if someone is interested:

After this tree is finished, either pick up all the remaining life notes that are around (thats what I would do) or pick other notes around as you see fit.

Cheers! :)

This is the case now, but was not always. Since it's inception the build has been sacrificing a lot of life/tankiness in trade for damage. Originally this build was sitting around 15k dps but was nigh unkillable, now I can pump up to 50k+ at this point with a still decent tankiness. As stated, this is meant for softcore, so the pure tank part wasn't really needed, and even listed in changes is the trade off making this do more damage instead.

That said, trust me I have considered dropping some damage for more life, but I change my build based off of my experiences in game. Every time I run into a problem, I adjust my build accordingly, and then fill the gaps with more damage. At this point, I am able to clear any content I've been allowed to do... I say allowed to do because I don't play much these days, and with high end maps being as sparce as they are for someone who doesn't devote hours to farming, I can't test in higher intensity areas.

So as it stands, my build is only as tanky as it needs to be. I currently haven't encountered an unpreventable death or 1-shot.
