Project Build: LG Optimized IR Tank - BoR/Rearguard

Since you don't focus on crit, what do you think of something like that for the final tree? ie. get Heart of the Oak instead of crit from Pressure Points.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...
Unwavering Stance (Immune to Stun) and Vaal Pact (no regen) make Heart of Oak utterly useless.

I may skip Pressure Points in favor of something else, but I like the 2x 25% crit nodes.

Build is up to 87 now - but had a string of a few deaths. Abyssus and Vulnerability don't play well together - and despite having a Rats Nest for vuln map swaps I decided not to swap to be stubborn - and Poorjoys with all the chicks making me vuln owned me to.

Totally forgot about VP :p.

Just drop an abissus as well today. I had a thought for your build but it's definitely a no go since it has a 50% malus >_<.

Yeah - you definitely want a 40, or at least towards that lower end.

Update: Once I started doing yellow 75 + maps the build didn't hold up. With more damage mods, the 40% extra damage from the Abyssus just proved too much to live reliably.

So I swapped in a BoR which still adds some physical damage, and incidentally more block. To make up the loss of DPS, I bit the bullet and added in Concentrated Effect. Also starting using Vaal Molten Shell - can keep about 50% up time on it and works great with the build's playstyle of running into groups of enemies. Also Removed Vaal Pact - too weak against single targets - and got in a quality life leech. End result is way more survivability without sacrificing DPS - although RoA Area did decrease.
