Is this dead now drillneck is nerfed?

My tooltip DPS at level 76 with herald of ice, flame golem and 3 frenzy charges, went from 4991 to 4382. That's roughly a 12% reduction, i'd say it's still viable, just does a bit less damage than before.

are there anychanges to be made for 2.6 ?? please provide...

A great way to improve this build is http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Perfect_Form
which is dirt cheap in Legacy

You loose 5% dex, but you gain a lot of defense, with Ametyst(?) Flask and Purity of Ice you can easily get 3k Evasion (not sure if that increase even works globally), free Arctic Armor (even when linked) and free Phase Acrobatics (that's a lot of skill points spared, especially with the downside to Acrobatics)

Other good alternatives (no dex though), that were cheap everywhere I looked:
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kintsugi

One thing that is always scary For Evasion is that one big hit you do not evade (since you usually have less mitigation and life) Kintsugi deals with that by taking off flat 20% damage)

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Queen_of_the_Forest
This is one of the best generall purpose Evasion Armors in the entire game, and you can get it for 1 Alch! The movespeed is really great for quick clears.

Another potential improvement to the Build: Start Marauder

A high Life Evasion build is easier to level and Iron Grip makes great use of the Strength.

Also Chieftain has some great Totem passives, including Life Leech transfer.

Thx for the build. :) I did the tree severally, 5 ballistas crit/chaos/poison. Guardians completed, still i dont tried Shaper/uber Atziri.

Does this build currently (3.0) work?

Without double dipping this build is dead too? :(

Tooltip damage is useless, especiel with poison build. Use Path of Building.

Considering all the fun tools we got by now (perfect form, cyclopean coil, garukhan's flight, elder and shaper items), is there any possibility for this build to get an update?

Also, is it a decent option to turn it into a 100% fire version with signal fire and avatar of fire?

With the new Hierophant changes, is this build gonna get an update?
