Is this posted for critique, for sharing, or what? I guess this is this a farming build?

You've slotted several purple sets, but avoided the procs, why? The Hecatomb proc, for example, is basically directly superior to Hecatomb: Damage, because almost all of the latter's enhancement is eaten by ED. The same goes for the Armageddon and Apocalypse procs.

I blame Earl. And Communism.


Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
