Yeah it might sound bad to waste so much pt's for Ondar's Guile, but i felt that i had enough points at ~85 for that. And oh god, it was worth more than any other Passive i ever got.
There's literally 100% chance to evade all Projectile attacks with grace. There's alot of annoying Projectile attacks out there as well as some spells and you will be just amazed how good it will be :).

Yeah RRRR would be pretty hard for ev/ar item and impossible for pure ev item. But it's possible to get on ev/ar item, i was going to do so, but i found perfect/cheap pure AR gloves so i use them now;p I only lost ~300EV and 1% evasion chance.

And i also got this AR/EV chest for sale cheap if you are interested ;)

Spoiler

Only problem would be that you need high lvl/pretty expensive items to make this work, but it's totally worth it, for me atleast.
Some Projectile attacks that i really really wanted to evade and do now:
Poison Arrows
Ice Arrows
Stun.. Arrows
Devourers fireballz

P.S This is just my opinion, i'm not saying it's better than Mathil's original build in any way, his build is amazing. But this is my personal decision on what more Tankier/Hardcore build would look like and fits me perfectly on Domination since i loose attention easily and don't like to die accidentally at 90+.

I'll share some of my thought's about this build.

First off, this is purely amazing build, thanks alot Mathil. I've tried alot of different builds up to 85, and so far, this ele ST build was the best for soloing stuff as i don't really like running in groups especially on Domination with group full of squishy DPS'ers.

Atm i'm lvl87, hitting 88 in few hours. I soloed every map in-game so far without any problems.
My DPS is atm only 10k, but i have way worse wep than Mathil, altho i'm on halfway crafting max ele dmg/speed sword on Domination, making it nr1. With a new sword i hope to get around 15k DPS.

My Health is 5.3k, at around 95 as Mathil i'll prbly have 6k+ as well, have some stuff to change.

However i thought that this spec is still a little squishy on doing 75+ maps till you hit ~90 and some epic gear, so i decided to do some changes to build and... What seems so far, made this spec totally Immortal. So far this worked out amazingly, i soloed every map w/o any problems and worries at all, even Physical Damage is easy now. I think this would be perfect build for Nemesis/Hardcore league. These are changes i made:

1. First off i decided to add Phase Acrobatics to dodge some 1hit k.o spells and it's just perfect, with this you basically can facetank Dominus lightning and more..

2. Then i decided to try adding Ondar's Guile and i think this was my best decision ever.. This one seriously made this build Immortal. It's basically 100% chance to avoid Projectiles now. Annoying arrows bypass you and Devourer's fire Projectile misses you. Also with this you Really facetank 71/77 Piety's arrows. You could just go afk, they don't hit you anymore.

After all those changes this was just perfect build, but i still had few problems with Undying Evangelists and their Phys Dmg bombs and other Phys Dmg mobs. When they managed to hit they hit hard.. and that could be deadly with alot of them around. Especially scary were Evangelists were you had to jump into pack of 20 mobs to kill them. This is how i fixed this problem:

3. Instead of culling, i've put CWDT - Enduring Cry - Immortal Call - Molthen Shell in my gloves. And this is just amazing. When alot of Phys Dmg mobs hit u at once you get Immortal Call for 2-3 Seconds and Molten Shell instantly blocking all Phys Dmg and if mobs are still alive, you've got enough damage taken for another round of Immortal Call to be activated.


This is how my Passive Tree looks right now with changes i made if anyone is interested:

Tanky variant of Mathil's build

And so far this has been perfect Immortal build without any disadvantages.

I will post some videos later showing amazing tanking capabilities of this spec.

And one more time, Thanks again Mathil for this amazing build.

Cheers,
