Well you need to grab strength on tree or gear for it ideally, but if you are in acts you dont rly need to bother with it yet.

This build appears to have barely any defenses - what am I missing? No armour, no block, no spell block, 13k evasion, only 3.8k life... I see 100% spell suppress, but even with that and Vaal Grace, is this basically a glass cannon?

You are missing 65% of physical damage taken as ele or chaos damage so it do not needs armour and 32% less elemental damage taken from scaled triple elemental flasks. And amount of evasion do not matters, evade chance does, and its at 75%. The build obviously used to be a lot tankier in the past but they nerfed most of the things this build abused so its worse now, but its still relatively tanky and *definitely* not glass cannon.

To make a few points on defenses that you can add in:
if you don't use covenant chest you can get 90%+ phys damage taken as ele/chaos
you can always get iron reflexes and run grace+determination with molten shell for big shield
petrified blood is stupid strong as you get so many life flask charges, it is basically ~20% more life
can always get the flasks that "gain 3 charges when hit" + Master Surgeon which recover 6% of life when a flaks is auto triggered

I did over half the uber pinnacle fights last league with a slightly altered build from this. Also, don't underestimate how strong running triple ele flasks is for league starting getting a ton of resists without having to gear for it.

Heavy breathing intensified.

To be clear, I have never tried fitting ALL of these into a single build, but have dabbled with different ones here and there. First off, let me give credit to Deathbeam as my builds tend to be variations from the versions he makes or made a league or two ago.

I have two versions I can share:

Current version that I have done several ubers with and is at 5-10 Mil Uber DPS BEFORE hex changes which should be a ~40% buff:

Here is a much tankier version from pre-nerf melding that has high phys hits taken as ele/chaos(only take 10% of physical damage as actual damage) with flagellant + triple perma up ele flasks. Melding is no longer around, but you can replace the cluster jewels for more damage or go for transcendence or something. MUCH lower damage on this build though and I was messing around with skills so treat this as a defensive example:
https://pastebin.com/3CqwWtY6

Sadly the tanky build relied too much on resists and got shredded by the uber's much higher ele penetration. I could probably have still done them, but I could facetank almost any attack except ground degen outside ubers with the tanky build. Also the tanky build was pre-covenant and Covenant gives you a crazy damage spike.

If you got any questions I am happy to try and answer them. You can literally never go wrong with Deathbeam's build, I just like tweaking what he has towards odd directions and seeing what happens :D

Another option for defence could be the new amulet together with divine flesh. Or the new flask, who knows

Thanks a lot for the clarification. I played this build some leagues and it was amazing, so I thought that tank times were back again. But even nerfed version is still good. Will definitely check your pob later.

How do you wither with this build? Or isnt that necessary?
