Inv/Axe Build Critique

I feel like this build is fairly solid, but guessing I can clean this up a bit.  Need assistance 😃

I'll take a look in a few hours when I get home, but what are your priorities for the build? Damage, survival, all around? If you haven't already, take a look at Infinitum tank collection, it may provide some slotting ideas.

 Thanks. I like to balance damage and survival. Always looking for the happy medium. All arounder.

Here's a sample build. Mid's can sometimes cause a bug in the amount of defense that it counts for invincibility when loading a build in. If you're seeing defense totals below the 45% soft cap for s/l/e/n/f/c, just set the number of targets in range for invincibility to 0 and then move it back to 1. This build is within 2 stacked SMoT procs of hard cap resists to e/n/f/c/psi and also reaches 100% recharge debuff resist. There may be some more optimal ways to move around enhancement sets, I mainly prioritized focusing on the final set bonus totals. Similarly, didn't take into account exemplaring down so you can adjust what powers you take when however you want.

 

Even with harmonic mind and performance shifter procs, this build may be starved for endurance so you may want to try it out on the test server first to see how bad/good the endurance drain is in fights to see if you need ageless destiny or if you can go for something else. Taunt especially I feel is pretty useless for invuln/axe. You'll constantly be herding mobs together, keeping them knocked down, and you have a taunt aura in invincibility + gauntlet anyway. Hope this helps.

 

Small edit: if you want to save on the cost a bit, you can still end up with 85% recharge debuff resist and soft cap s/l defense and change the superior blister cold set in Swoop to a 5 set Hecatomb instead.

 

Edit 2: Instead of the superior winter's bite in dominate, you can change it to a full set of superior entomb which has a much more useful absorb proc and provides the exact same defense bonus values. You'll lose some single target damage, but the build would be even tougher to bring down with another absorb shield.
