This build is solid, but when i ran lab with this it seem to lack regen to counter traps. Anyome. Have some idea to modify this build so that it can run lab easier (aka can leap slam through traps with less care)

A few quick and dirty tipps without investing much:

- No abyssus in lab - can't compensate that +40% trap damage (beside the roost all are physical). Best is a helm with physical to fire + other goodies.
- Minor gods: Potion refill or less physical dot damage while moving
- Enduring cry on a second wind as secondary life potion. Have some enduring charges before traps.
- Use an enduring life flask before a trap field
- Use a long running basalt potion before a trap field

That's all not in single really good (beside point 1), but cheap and all together helping a lot.

So, I saw a few last replies and wanted to write mine as well. I'm playing this build, and yes - title "facetank everything" is misleading.
This is not Jugg. This is not some crazy stacking 10+ ES build. But we still have more defenses than a lot of other builds, you can just faceroll delirious maps and not die if you not onshotted pack of mobs. Instead of evasion-based builds, this one can damage and is not a glass cannon. It has more space for errors, but also suffers from some typical melee probles. I like it, but for some people it's not the build they should follow.
As it was already said, degen and oneshots are our best ways of dying, and you will die if you don't get a good HP pool.
Few recommendations and things I've found:
1) Enduring cry. Don't forget to renew endurance charges, they will save you.
2) Culling strike, precision.
For me, with precision I don't have enough mana to cast myself ancestral warchief, and having 100% uptime on bosses of vaal version is pretty hard, so I decided to not use precision on bosses. That allowed me to put culling support to ancestral warchief, which means a pretty ~10% DPS boost(boss basically has 90% of HP instead of 100%) and uptime of totem.
3) Flasks.
Here I have a problem - I do want extra MS prefix on Quicksilver, but that means sacrificing of one from "no curse", "no chill/freeze"/"no bleed". For now, I decided to play without curse flask.
Also, flasks give us survivability against degen, so having flask charges is important. Belt like that

can help!
4) Addition to flasks.

With this I've started to see a lot more chain explosions from chest, So I'm thinking about trying to add more increase to all/phys dmg into build.
5) Craft "+1 to melee strike range", it will give you a lot of QoL.
6) On tree I took "Rampart", it add to us extra fortify effect and MS.
7) Paradoxica. "trigger blood rage" will owerwrite your own, resulting with lower attack speed buff!
8) Ring.

Mod "herald of purity has increased effect" provide same dps boost as mod in the guide, so you can search for one of them, better probablility fo tind a ring with decent implicit.
Here is all my gear, still need to harvest craft second life on chest, replace belt with better one, boots with elusive, Watcher's Eye with impales, paradoxica...Atm I'm broke with less that 1 ex on hands after buing bottled faith lol

Spoiler

hello! i wanted to try the cyclone type of this build for my second character. Was wondering if it could clear the end game bosses like a8 sirus and maven with some room for mistakes. Also assuming i have your current gear. My character dies a lot right now lol.

Hi guys,

I personally wouldnt recommend buying the, without doubt, fully overpriced "Paradoxia", cause a solid 1h Jewelled Foil will outpace this, especially when you invest 10ex+ into it (like our version of Paradoxia costs actually).
My Foil has actually 270dps and its OK, I can kill fast and good up to T16 with it (excluding Shaper Guardians), but once I got a 500+ dps Foil, things should run pretty with ease, and consider, killing fast is dying last!

In terms of minmaxing with budged paradoxica is better. Mine, which cost me 8ex, outdps by 5% foil with 480pds, while foil costs 14ex, I checked it in pob. And mine paradoxica doesn't even have 28% quality, better tier of phys or attack speed + quality mod.

8k armor won't get you 60% or more physical resist. Look at the armor formula - armor can only block a certain amount of damage. A 3 k slam will go right through your armor. As a ballpark rule: 8k armor can absorb a maximum of 800 damage.

At T16 maps round about 20-30k armor are needed to have a good protection. You still have to evade physical boss slams, or gamble about your block chance.

I'm curious how it will end up having all the needed items etc. in the end, cause OP is promising 81% phys reduction
