So my last topic on the subject was 11 pages long and mostly spam. I learned a few things, then read about them more in depth.

Eth Sacred Fortitude
Eth Andy with 15ias 30 Fire res jewel
Breakpoints reached: 87% fhr, 105% fcr, 162% mf.
Now a few things to consider, its possible to use viper instead of ormus and a 2 10 fcr amulet, but you lose 500dmg, thats around 1.5 per sec and gain 35 res to poison, but with cleansing and pheonix its not as important.
You can go for a 60% fhr breakpoint and instead of 1 skiller fhr and 3 fhr charms add 6 7mf 17 mana sc for a total of 208% mf which will significally increase ur drop rate and around 150 dmg loss.
Plague will give you much needed cleansing aura for poison dmg and reduce all curse duration, also it has lvl 12 lower resist proc 20% when struck, since you tele stomp mobs focus on ur merc so it will proc very often.
Pheonix aura gives you the regen from corpses with a fix % rather than filling up ur mana pool gradually from insights meditation.
Please dont spam the thread with random sarcastic remarks, try to add constructive critisism. I may have made some mistakes with the build, all suggestions based on logc use will be welcome.
Some consideration:
you only need to reach level 40 energy shield, so no need to max it, you have to dump points there based on your gear/skillers
what I do is keep my +9 es memory in cube and on swap have cta + lidless hel (50 str req)
every game I put memory on main hand instead of infinity, then swap and cast bo + bc swap again and cast es + fa + ts and finally put back infinity on main hand
es and ts will last forever and fa you can cast it with cta + lidless once it ran off
viper and ormus dmg difference is very little noticeable, viper have the advantage that you don't need str and only 10fcr on your amu
you want to dump all your stat points into nrg, so you should use rare or mana boots with, ideally, psn res + psn length reduced + mf + frw + fhr
act 2 prayer merc with insight is mandatory
