Before I comment on anything, let me say that I don't do Defensive builds for PvE.

 

An AoE heal on an MM is very powerful - regardless of the game content you are doing.  I suggest 6-slotting Twilight Grasp to get that heal up to ~100%.  I like that Theft of Essence: Chance for +End you placed in there and regret not doing the same in my build.  How does your Alpha(+Rech) slot affect the proc rate on this Theft of Essence?   Does it still activate at 3.5 PPM?  I'm positive you can improve the slotting on Twilight Grasp.

 

You're missing the Expedient Reinforcement: Resist Aura for Pets.  I would slot this Unique into the build and take out the Resist IO in Enchant Undead.  I would then use this slot in Enchant Undead and place an Aegis: Psi/Status Res.  Doing so will help with the Mezzing you are - most likely - experiencing.

 

Concerning Soul Extraction.  Is that Overwhelming Force: DAM/Chance for Knockdown as good or better than the effect from Cloud Senses?  I see several folks on the forums slotting that Overwhelming Force like its OP or something.  I don't get it.

Chance for end works wonders! It doesn't trigger always in a noticable way, but almost always comes for free, and usually is a net gain. In a party with more people or with SE up, it would be very rare to not get half an end bar. 

I like your idea of adding more healing to TG, I may remove one slot from Flight (losing some aoe defense) to add a 4th Theft of Essence (according to mids, it would be around 22 more HP per heal)

I have to say that I'm running musculature, not Agility. I don't know why it was appearing there, and now I know why my in-game numbers didn't match Mids 😅

Another "typo" in the build. ER: Resist Aura should be in Lich, instead of the Acc/Dam. I like the suggestion about the Psi/Status, I will burn some unslotters to try it!

You have 6 pets with a chance to KD, it's quite good. I don't have numbers (I don't run the parser, sorry), but I remember reading somewhere that CS proc was the best damage proc

Lyrium, do you actually use hover or is that just for the set bonuses? I ask because your build looks great and i want to steal it but i dont like actually hovering

[Lyrium]

I like hovering, but you can have any other power instead
