For comparison purposes to other builds for those of us who don't typically watch guide videos, it'd be good if you posted defensive and offensive stat sheets.

i kinda wanted to play summoner (non srs) but for flashback events with all leagues active, it puts you at a huge disadvantage.

I play IW/BM incinerate maradeur myself in 1m flashback, and i confirm it's one of the most suitable builds for that event.

But i disagree on Unwavering Stance. Beyond bosses, for example, are still capable to stun you, even with all your life and armour. And when you're stunned, you lose all "stacked" stages of incinerate. Essentially, you lose TONS of damage when you get stunned.

I also wonder, why you dont grab all endurance charges on the tree, and dont use Life Leech gem? I find those mandatory defensive-wise. On other hand, with that amount of %life from tree, Belly isnt really good option. You better just get a decent (probably corrupted) 6-link with life instead.

I dint think you really need %damage nodes like Arsonist and Celestial Judgement. Iron Will grants you enough already.

Helping Alira in Cruel is a good idea too, cause we lack cast speed badly.

And the last - why use dagger as weapon? If you want melee weapon (for fortify, etc), use Doon Cuebiyari, it's an obvious choice. Or decent rare sceptre, at least (with resistance penetration prefferably).
I prefer using wands, though, because they provide projectile speed, greatly increasing your range.

i never had any problems with getting stunned to be honest, i had planned for unwavering in the build but was waiting to see if i needed it and i didnt.

i have an affinity for daggers and whirling blade, is the best explanation i suppose.

i think that lightning coil might be a better choice for this build, but they are pretty expensive, and i had never done a build with Belly before. also, belly's increased life recovery really helps when you have a high life pool.

arsonist also gives you 1% life regen which is pretty crazy, that is why i picked it up. i also experimented with efficient training and the witch area but speced out of it.

as for life leech i dont like using the gem, never have, so i thought i would get leech from other sources like doryiani's and craft. even if i were to pick up more endurance charges AND used leech it wouldnt have prevent me from getting 1 shot, but it also wouldnt have helped me THAT much because my defenses were good enough, and it would have been sacrificing dps.

so one thing about any builds i create is i dont really make them for 100% min max, i attempt to min max to a degree but i also try to make them efficient for MY play style. like how i have an affinity for daggers. i also feel out my builds as they evolve, so life leech and more endurances charges didnt happen because as i was playing i was feeling out damage from beyonds, my pot reaction/effectiveness from different levels of damage, how dangerous well decent rolled maps were with the defenses i had, etc. and at the time i didnt feel like i needed more defense, character felt right, i was happy with the clear speed and defense so there was no need for me to change.
