Notes

Defenses:

because of Aegis the build is good vs shotguns/hits, but "weak" to DoT's.
-CI solves poison/chaos DoT
-Charge Mastery solves Ignite
-of the Iguana Flask effect solve Bleeding + CB
-Ralakesh also solves CB, so you can get a bleed immune Ring implicit and a different flask effect
-Endurance charges from ralakesh reduce dmg(and therefore DoT dmg) taken by 16%
-In general Flask Craft and other Life Regen (shaper's seed on merc if you play that for example) + Zealot's helps
	-meaning the only common(!) dangerous DoT's/degens left are burning ground and mana donuts:
		-burning ground can be solved via pantheon, but is generally no problem since recovery is decent and fire res is at 85%
		-mana donuts are evil. Soul of arakaali is just not worth it imo, but that or switching one flask for a topaz would be the only solution. atm im just playing around it, base recovery is good enough to react.

Rest of the build is mostly anti-hits:
-Endurance charges vs hits too ofc.
-Shock, Freeze, Chill, Ignite Immune
-(almost) capped Block & Spell Block
-Enough Armour for most Phys hits
-25% of elemental damage from hits taken as chaos, so not taken at all = 25% extra ele dr. for hits
-Stun immunity
-nearby chilled enemies deal 10% reduced dmg with hits
-divine shield ES regen
-small amount of ES regen to offset degens/DoTs
-pantheon for extra small dr
Optional:
-4x (5x if enough int on clusters + rare jewel) crit reduction tattoos = 20% crit dmg reduction
	-not taken, but an extra 20% gets you to 40%, if you take the "Armour and Energy Shield" mastery

Did an 8-mod The Twisted maven invitation at level 79, which was no problem.

The only things that can kill you are:
Huge phys Hits (highrolled Uber Shaper Slam and anything above), that you dont block.
Ele DoTs/Degen can be dangerous, but Max res + regen is high enough to have enough time to get out of them.
Phys DoTs deal the most dmg. Bleed + CB immune, but any other Phys DoT/Degen is super Dangerous.

Offence:

Tornado of Elemental Turbulence (ToET) has lots of tags, which means levels to cold/lightning/fire etc. gems affect it.
Using Venarius' Astrolabe (+3), Runegraft of Gemcraft (+1) and lvl 6 Awakened Added x gems makes them each give +2 to ToET.
	-this is currently bugged and does not work. lvl 10 Awakened Added X gems show they give +2 in their Tooltip, but they only give +1 to the supported gem
I use 2 of these Awakened added x gems here, meaning my lvl 21 ToET gets to 24 via Astrolabe, to 28 via Awakened added and to 29 via Cold Mastery.
	-It can go to 33/34 via double corrupt on Incandescent heart, but you'd need to either get a double corrupted Mageblood and buy one for atm ~450d
	 or you'd have to make a bunch of double influenced ones and double corrupt them yourself
	-It can go even higher than that with empower, but dmg-wise only an Awakened Empower lvl 5 outperforms the currently weakest Link (Hypothermia)

We use Endurance Ralakesh and get Frenzy charges via Bound by destiny.
Bound by Destiny can be used to sustain power charges via Inner Conviction, which the old militant faith + cluster i had were doing. Sustaining them via Forbidden Power feels awful.
Therefore instead of Sadist + Inspired Oppression we go for Sadist + Stormrider on the right Cluster

Dmg breakdown:
-critcap, with 500%+ multi
-ToET is cold, fire and lightning, so all three lines of the "Corrosive Elements" cluster node work. Pair this with Flesh/Flame Mastermind of Discord and you have a pretty reliable -35% all ele res on the enemy.
-we chill, ignite and shock with all hits, which works well with the cluster node "Sadist" for 60% increased Elemental dmg
-"Glacial Cage" grants us up to 10% increased dmg vs enemies
-we scale shock effect, which is still sadly low vs ubers and high wave simulacrums
rest of the dmg comes from Auras, Merc and flat scalings
