Notes

While the low Life is questionable, the other defenses layered on top make this still overall workable I think; the main weaknesses are physical large hits, physical (or large elemental) damage over time,
and somewhat low life regen overall against high volume damage.

The high-end build seems quite strong damage-wise - Wave of Conviction has solid clear and preps the Unsealing well; the Unsealing does a very impressive amount of damage very fast, enough to solo phase most enemies in the game.
Let's estimate the cost and then see how we might scale to this kind of build.

Note that below cost estimates are based on Mercenaries league prices and can be very different from early 3.27 prices, but hopefully they will not be that much more expensive after a few weeks.
