Just self-wield. It's the meta for a reason. No need to invent the wheel again.

-- the loss of +3 skills, a -5% facet, and 40 mana (20 energy) from not having Echuta
-- the loss of +2 skills, 112 mana, 8 magic absorb from not having spirit

total of -4 all skills (+1 for wearing another soj), mana probably breaks even from soj
and a loss of 1 fps on casts

for a target dummy,
200 FCR dps= 38.9k
self weild dps= 27.1k
These damage calcs take into the -55 penetration from self weild infinity

for hc es setup, don’t go full energy. you still want a life buffer. es doesn’t stop everything (poison, bleed, bad situations), so dumping everything into energy is just asking to get clipped

go enough vita to not get one tapped (usually ~1k+ life after bo), rest into energy. res don’t need to be perfect but don’t run around negative either, especially lightning

Just make sure you have max energy shield and 20 hard points into TK (use a memory or CTA staff with energy shield on swap), I like a little vitality, but yes just dump everything into energy. Whenever you do a TZ with souls, just clench a bit. Amazing build, fastest build.
