I'd read it.

Only skill I'd swap out is Diamond Skin. I can't tell you how many times absorbing damage has bee negligible after Act 1 Inferno. By the time you hit Act 2, everything will kill you in 1 hit, even with Diamond Skin. This is coming from someone with around 39k HP, 380 all resists. It's just not worth it to bring Diamond Skin in my opinion. Teleport is much more versatile and useful, particularly with the Fracture Rune for the decoy's.

Yeah, that's been established already; but starting Act 1 Inferno has most people at low enough hp pools to warrant the use of Diamond Skin temporarily.

What kind of gear do you suggest? I'm currently rolling 25k HP + 30k DPS + 450 res buffed
playing with a barb and I still get ez'd by belial's minions, so I'm not sure if I should go pure DPS or more vita / resists oriented

i would say double the hp and res and maybe some more armor, 30k dps is solid, you can get up to 45k with a good weapon and orb too tho

It's close to what I have and makes it perfect but on inferno safer is way better then stronger from my perspective. You can boost your dps with other means and use teleport with fracture. Teleport is a must and the decoys will make you kite better. With your build any monster with wall, prison will destroy you Your only escape is teleport


This is what I use and it's amazing

In case you get some gear that provides arcane power you can replace astral presence with Illusionist but it's not that necessary as after you teleport If you got pulled to monster or you fail your teleport you still have diamond skin. I would actualy even replaced diamond skin for force weapon if it wasn't for the damage reflect monsters. Later in the game when you have enough life ( over 40k ) and nice life reg you can replace diamond skin with force weapon and rock!

anyone try arcane orb+temporal flux instead of blizzard? i keep switching back and forth between them.

Gg I lve it

Been testing out this build now with a few changes.

Skill changes: Teleport (Fracture) instead of Diamond Skin (Crystal Shell)
Passive changes: Illusionist and Astral Presence instead of Cold Blooded and Galvanizing Ward

Working like a charm, very nice guide!

Been doing this as well with tele/diamond. Used to think diamond was necessary but it really isn't.
