90% unpacked (steam decrypting takes forever)..... I should have started this way earlier...
I'm thinking I'll go to bed, and wake up early instead of waiting for things to get working now.
My current thinking is trying a Monk.
Doing a Invoker, because of the "lead me through grace..." and "... and protect me from harm".
I like the idea of getting a ton of spirit from my body armour slot.
Then having evasion also work as armour (even if you get 40% less).
In POE1 the most optimal way to build defenses was to layer things, and having a good amount of both, rather than just go fully into one.
Then have your lv4 spirit gem be "Ghost Dance" (Ghost shrouds).
