Define the scope of what you're planning to do.
I'm assuming you plan to make an end game char with twinked gear, mess around on it for 5 minutes and move on

Or are you going to actually play the game?

My recommendation would be that to play you will have to
Max charged strike for physical immunes in hell and inner sight for attack rating boost

I recommend inner sight because all your gear slots have to go to maximizing resists and you dpnt have room for the typical attack boost set combos. Also you cant afford huge dex investment and penetrate because you need the vita to tank.

Do not get dodge avoid evade because they interrupt fend

Cheapest gear would be
IAS lance
Iratha set
Gold skin
1 manald, 1 cathan ring - replace with good rares eventually
Hotspurs or gg rares with good fire resist. Keep gtoes for killing bosses only

To level up use power strike and charged strike, fury until hell, then restat to physical skill build, should be ready for lance at that point, and be around level 50

Stats: enough for lance, rest vita

Final skills
20 penetrate
20 inner sight
9+ critical
20 charged strike
Rest into penetrate

I have a few revisions to my build from my testing

it turns out that putting all gear towards resistances, while helpful sometimes, ends up being a dog and ruins the damage and survivability of the character
also i changed my mind about charged strike, I think this is a build that has to skip killing physical immunes because its just not important enough to sink 20 skills in.

my new skill build was
20 fend
20 inner sight
20 penetrate
20 decoy
9 critical strike

my new gear was
rare lance
eye of elitch
sigon helmet/armor
death belt/gloves
manald heal
cathans ring
gtoe boots

with hotspurs and noko relic on switch for firey situations.

what I like about this new build is that I have 30% life leech which makes me a lot more scrappy, as well as the cold damage from elitch which helps a lot.

my attack rating is solid, resists are weak, but deaths covers cannot be frozen and poison, while sigon armor helps out with lightning

gtoes helps out a little bit, but not sure if its truely worth the investment or not. good resist boots may be better

the decoy also is a big help in surviving shit, but anyways gl

I think I'm going to switch gtoes out for sig boots and then try out boneflesh, grey form, and twitch in the armor slot.
Also probably dont need 20 in decoy, might pull some out and level up power strike for light immunes
