*Two technical inaccuracies I've noticed since uploading this video:*
3:55 - "... or you take damage over time, which does interrupt the life recharge." This isn't correct. Damage over time only interrupts life recharge if it causes you to lose life. Reserving life does not cause this character to lose life unless at least 50% of life is reserved.
6:34 - "... which I'm able to do even while blinded myself." I forgot that I can't be blinded, thanks to Born in the Shadows. I may be a bit too overcapped on evasion, given that fact. Maybe the Grace effect implicit on my chest could be swapped out for something else.

Very comprehensive, indepth build and extremly nice guide to evasion and mecahnics around it!
I hope you will keep doing such videos once in a while, i really enjoyed watching it!

Really cool build, I love the use of interesting, often overlooked defensive mechanics.

[healjah]

I'm just blown away. Loved every second of this. The indepth analysis of WHY is truly what sets this apart from other channels. There are so many synergistic layers working together here to create one of the most tanky characters going round. 5mins in i was subscribed and now im going to do a deep dive on your channel to learn some other not so well known defensive layers.

The gameplay loop for me in PoE is play enough to make enough currency to roll another build. Rarely will you find a build guide that shines such a light on the teasing apart of a puzzle that making an effective build can be. You should submit this to build of the week.

[Rawsawn]

This is why i love PoE, seriously well done on thinking outside the many many boxes you had to circumvent. I find it really crazy that Lethe Shade is strickly just to tank the first second of a Soulrend/Ed hit, the level of knives edge is real.

"I updated the spreadsheet to prove a point."

Yeah that sound about right lmao. Great vid. I like your dedication to exploring a mechanic even if it might be suboptimal. Really cool dagger and a great build leveraging it

Have you looked into the life reservation tech with arrogance support and dissolution? Essentially, if you reserve auras with your life on a dissolution setup, you don't die when your HP hits 0. The game first unreserves your auras on life, this takes priority over actually killing you. Basically lets you run "free" auras on life reservation though you'll have to reapply them if they get removed.

I love immortal builds, and also gimmick interactions, nice build. hoping to see more from you in the near future

Honestly Spellblade skill gems made alot of unseen uniques finally got their own purpose to make a totally new build, I've made a build inspired by other youtubers that uses underrated uniques with a Spellblade and totally different playstyle and viable to red maps, which is something very new and fun for me and the budget is covered since the stuff isn't part of the meta build out there. This type of build could be a new alternative for newer players or someone who is struggling on a budget but wanted to have fun.

[lelandkwong]

Thank you for the excellent comprehensive explanation of your defense layers.

[ExiledVessel]

I am glad someone else understands evasion as well as accuracy reduction values. I am curious how does xandro feel when he bonks you? He's RT and I could see this build early on without all the gear struggling.

[MacdaddyU]

....Holy crap man.... your one hell of a good talker. I love how smooth your videos are...😁👍

[SirVampyr]

Still criminally underrated channel. Always really stoked to see one of your videos in my sub box :D

[dtoap]

I very much enjoyed leveling a character and just listening to you talk about your build

[nerfranger]

Lol you reminded me of this anime "i don't want to get hurt so i'll max out my defense"

[GelawByscar]

Really cool technical and straight to the point video

[qwertyuijamesop]

love the defensive layers on this setup. will try to utilize it on my 2nd build with zdps.

[Grubgotkicked]

this is so incredibly cool, great job

[SebastianK]

Love this video and build, awesome job
