This build assumes you have made it to at least P-800. I don't bother writing guides for anything much lower than that since this represents the breakpoint at which all paragon points are invested in either vitality or your primary stat. That said, the stat priorities given for the build were left at their default priorities - which is satisfactory for the build.

Build Guide

It's not as powerful as an archon build, but I strongly dislike these types of builds. This build handles a GR-80 very comfortably with no difficulty whatsoever and maintains a level of "tankiness" I prefer in all the builds I play across all my characters. I have not yet found an ancient Wand of Woh (2.6.1), but all in all it is a very stable build and is quite easy to play
