I used a similar build on talk for a while (after using it on my own player monk for a bit) and the problem i have with it is that life sheath can only usually negate the equivalent of 1 to 2 hits in HM, where hits can reach 400dmg with bosses, im not saying reducing that to 250 isnt nice, but i think there are better skills out there than Life Sheath to reduce damage. Having said that, Im currently trying a few builds out atm, Shield of Regen is looking tasty, but it doesnt really protect... its more like a healing spell with a bit of extra armour.

In HM I usually play with a Dervish who casts alot of crazy skills on himself and takes most of the damage for the team; making the build a more viable option. But yea for complete solo on hm a new build would be required

Hmm...something is telling me that this wont work in some areas...such as the Magumma jungle etc. where the wind riders interrupt and Migraine like crazy :/

This needs... Energy Management, an Elite that don't suck, and condition/hex removal.

You shouldn't need like, 60 energy or whatever you get with all that energy armour.

Also, a superior rune without a vigor or a weapon with +health isn't a good idea.

Life Sheath is basically an elite RoF, I would try something else like Shield of Regen combined with Glyph of Lesser Energy.

Yeh seems pretty sound, but as everyone is saying for HM Life Sheath isnt the best elite....

o and btw @Chronos - Disturbed FTW!
