Monolith example
Defensive stats (in town)
Link to gear/skill/passives setup —
Pros:
True melee tank
Surprisingly high damage
Insane leech
Capped resist + 100% crit avoidance
Cons:
It’s quite slow without lunge off cooldown
Somewhat reliant on good gear
Quick Summary —
I’ve tried out almost every iteration of erasing strike i could think of, and imo this is the strongest variant of the skill (low mana cost high IAS mana leech
The build can facetank just about everything in the game (and this time it’s not clickbait), 400% increased dmg mods are possible in Empowered echoes 60+
Vengeance is used for defense/leech and mana regen, we get a conditional 46% less dmg taken from the skill
Block is our primary mitigation, we have 80% chance to block for around 60% less dmg taken
Dps-wise we can crit the dummy in town for 80-100k + with buffs up, damage isn’t an issue and our primary focus is defensive layers
I would stress to get a comfortable “life gained on melee hit” suffix for the axe, vengeance itself is somewhat low dmg and this mod coupled with our high IAS sustains leech through harder fights
