Thought I'd update my progress on this:

- have a 987% Facebreakers so that helps.
- frenzy DPS with Hatred and 6 frenzy charges is like 22k - 29k+ when I swap out Melee Splash for Added Fire (use on bosses sometimes)
- was pretty squishy until lev 67 and could use the Bringer of Rain ... since then, I've only had a few boss issues, everything else seems mostly easy.
- still don't have the money for an Aegis (even non-legacy) but I've been using an Atziri's Miror shield (needed the resists help too) so my armor (with IR) got a nice boost as well as resists.
- like I said, resists are lacking so I went up into Scion area and grabbed the 3 18% resists and that has helped a lot cause phys dmg monsters don't really scare me (have like 13k armor with Grace running).
- been mostly getting life nodes now cause I only have like 2900 life :( No chest armor sucks ...
- nice setup that I'd recommend is to use Vaal Cyclone linked with Conc Effect (extra dmg) and a quality Culling Strike (and maybe BM if no mana is available). Dps only says like 4700 but when I set that off in a room full of enemies it's a room clearer (and can take out the boss if his life is low enough).

So overall, this is the strongest build I've ever had (used to be my HS/GS marauder) but resists could still use help and not sure how I could ever run 3 auras to be able to include Discipline (got Hatred and Grace now). Sure would be nice to have some of those top end items you have (legacy BoR, legacy Aegis) and that +1 frenzy Stone of Lazwar. Right now I have to use an Onyx amulet to get +20 to all attributes for the Int and Dex needs.

Sounds good so far. Read the new notes I added about Purity. All you need is the 16% Reserve Reduction from the Sovereignty circle and a level 20 Reduced Mana gem for x2 60% Auras and 40% Purity aura. The 30 or so all resist should help you a bunch.

In my opinion it's best to wait until level 85+ to try and get x3 60% auras.

Instead of Vaal Cyclone, you really should stick with Vaal Grace/Vaal Discipline(I prefer Vaal Grace now because it lasts longer) and Vaal Haste with Increased Duration in your shield. Vaal Haste adds so much more damage when you're fighting bosses.

Ok, so I finally got my hands on a 2% ES Aegis for a cheaper than average price. So now I have some 'what next' questions:

- I can AT BEST run 3 auras (Hatred, Grace, and Purity) ... you say I need to run Discipline ... how? Do I drop Hatred (my DPS would really drop without this) or Grace (my armor will really drop without this) ?

- my resists were actually better with the Atziri's Mirror and now I'm really noticing them being lower, as well as I lost a bunch of Int that the Mirror gave me .... seems like hardest part of this build is finding high phys dmg, life, all resists, and high int rings .....

- I need my onyx amulet for Int ... but doesn't this build really require a Stone of Lazwhar (?) to be tanky against phys AND spell dmg?

- how do you get your dps higher ... I'm at lev 80, all gems nearly maxxed out and have decent gear ... best I can get with Hatred and all 6 frenzy charges up is about 23k dps. How do you get near the 40k+ you mention? Is it just better rings and needing a legacy Bringer of Rain ?

- life, I've been taking mostly just life nodes the last few levels and my life is just about at 3000 ... which is really low for level 80 ... but considering everything else I have to wear, how do you get your life higher?

Thanks
