I think that flat absorption on Ascension which you have up often due to high CDR. And regen is still good enough. Regen alone will not save the build. I tried it in previous iterations of the build.
It doesn’t. Double conversion is not a thing.
I will try if more armor due to your devo path will be better than two defensive procs I have from Crab and Harp. You do have more damage but I build for high SR. And Eternity relic is thus a better choice for my purposes.
I have a Warlock but made as a piano. I think it is good for SR 38. I have a build guide for it here but it is not yet updated with my latest version which is here Warlock, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
I also have a theorycrafted fire Sorcerer which I have not tested yet.
And the best AAR of them all is my Battlemage. Not even a Clairvoyant Binder can measure up to it in SR.
