I think I have decided to try for this: http://bit.ly/113rZPt
Basically I've decided that I really want to try the half armor half ES stuff and two totems as well. It may not be optimal, but my mind keeps going back to it so I might as well embrace it and see what happens. Picked up the 2 curse passive as well. My thinking is that I'll put flammability and elemental weakness curses on totems. Then I'll manually cast Skeletons and Fire Traps. Between the two curses, the traps, and the minion explosions I think I will have enough damage to get by. I believe there is 78% resist all from passives. I'm hoping to run Purity aura which will give me another 43%. I'll also have 10% to max from the Aura and passives. Figure it shouldn't be too hard to meet that cap from gear even with the difficulty penalties.
Now I just have to figure out what I sockets I need on gear.
(chest-5 link blue sockets)
Raise Zombies
Raise Specter
Minion Life
Minion Damage
Item Rarity
(helm 3 link blue sockets)
Raise Skeleton
Minion Damage
Minion Speed
(wand 3 link 1 red 2 blue sockets)
Totem
Flammability
Elemental weakness
(gloves? 2 link red and green. Could add more links for support if I want)
Fire trap
Fire penetration
(boot/shield 2 blue, 1 red, no links needed)
Purity
Discipline
Anger
Looks possible to me. With room to expand even. Something to work towards anyway. Armour/ES gear built like that.
