What did u not understand? Its a vitality hc build
That can only die from fana might archers or frenzytaurus and that without his bo barb.
The act5 merc with plague gets rid of that damn amplify curse in seconds, and he kills trash mobs fast.also he knocks back all the dolls and other dangerous undeads making it easier especially in chaos runs.

If after a registration in 2007, 60k+ posts, collecting 1M+ fg you can't take yourself your own decisions on a 20+ years old game with low iq game mechanics I doubt anyone here has the legitimate pedigree to answer your question.

TLDR : go full vita and avoid PoE

I find even life / mana to be the tankiest.

you get a beefy ES and regen from your insight merc, BUT when manaburn or whatever zonks your mana… you still have 1k+++ life and resists.

plus no blood mana curse, which is evil in HC.

this

I play a combo of both

10 points telekinesis/ 1 point es / memory pre buff

Bo barb always with me

Gerkes and very similar gear

1.8k life
1.1k mana

105fcr / 60% block with gerke / use dwarf and infernos

Total fucking tank

I speed run chaos all day and even with p7-p8 games I hardly ever take dmg and almost never need to pot
