Required Items:
- Ring of Royal Grandeur (equipped or cube)
- 3 pieces of Roland's Legacy set
- 2 pieces of Sage's Journey set
- 2 pieces of Norval's
- Flail of the Ascendend (cube)
- Nemesis Bracer (equipped or cube)
- Drakon's Lesson (equipped or cube)

Hellfire Amulet (5th passive):

Other good item setups:
http://www.d3planner.com/357760554 Maximum block chance and using Justice Lantern instead of Unity = More damage, a bit less toughness

How to play:
Try to kill elites only!
1. Use Shield Bash to kill elites.
2. Use Shield Glare on enemies when you used Shield Bash before (Flail of Ascendend affix). You can one-shot elites with Shield Glare when your Flail of Ascended affix is charged up with a lot of damage.
3. Use Steed Charge to move around.
4. Use Akarat's Champion in dangerous situations.
5. Use Laws of Hope to reduce incoming damage.
6. Use Iron Skin to reduce incoming damage.

My opinion:
Playstyle is pretty simple. Move around with Steed Charge and try to focus on elites only. Shield Bash does a good amount of damage on single enemies. Using the Flail of the Ascendend (cube) will charge up the damage of your last 5 Shield Bash casts and you can release the charges by using Shield Glare. Shield Glare should do the same amount of damage as your last 5 Shield Bash casts (In Patch 2.4.3 bugged, the damage calculation is not correct, but still does a lot of damage). Because of that, you can sometimes one-shot elites by just using Shield Glare.
My method is/was to kill the first elite pack with Shield Bash and the next elite with Shield Glare and then repeat.

Best Regards
Deso
