I am at a point of frustration with the build, because I can't decide which direction to go with it. I have two builds I am considering, and at worst will just do them both.

The first is a +def build. I am new to +def, and need some help rounding it out. I am up for advice, as I will admit +def builds are pretty alien to me.

The second is a high damage build, and I flushed +def. This one looks loads of fun, but I am not sure it will work as well in practice as it does in theory.
