That’s pretty nuts. Well done. 

[Sovera]

You could min max it a little bit further if you'd care for it, but it's a very well put together build.

 

With the tanker ATO you don't need to hug the 90% resistances. You can instead aim for a bit less and account for two 6.7% to finish capping resistances. Mids accounts for one of those, so just mentally add 6.7%. Once that done you can slightly min max a bit more (just for the sake of it, the build is rock solid as is) and to things like switching the 5 slotting from Siphon Life for 5 Panaceia.

 

Your Dark Regeneration would definitely like a Theft of Essence proc as well which will be a game changer once you try it. The panaceia proc in Health is the best per slot option for endurance, much much better than the 2.5% the second Miracle slot was giving.

 

Another thing that helps is six slotting Gaussian in Soul Drain. Not only do you give it good stats but also 2.5% to all positionals is pretty substantial when chasing that.

 

The +res proc in the aura is not a good place. Tested, gives bad results. Swapping the sets between Death Shroud and Midnight Grasp will serve you better.

 

I would personally drop Cardiac. You have Dark Consumption, it's up every 1 minute and as a back up plan you can buy Recovery Serums. You're lacking accuracy to reliably hit +3 due to the lack of accuracy bonuses so Nerve Core might do you good, and as a bonus it adds a bit more defense so you can move things around.

 

 

Regardless here is what I messed around a bit with. Your Energy resistance is a bit better and your Soul Drain has decent stats so it can be used. Try the new slotting of Dark Regeneration and you should notice a large difference with how it played before which may help you reconsider Cardiac (I personally found it lacking against something as simple as Recovery Serums). Also, at first glance S/L resistances are butchered, but your second ATO stack will add another 6.7%, so 83.11% + 6.7% = 89.81%.

What amazing builds!

But now I have to decide whether to abandon my Bio/DM, SR/DM, or Shield/DM tanks and use their IOs to build this one out 😰
