Thanks again for the help on the Pyre Prolif build mate!! Much appreciated!

I always wanted to try out the Pyre for something, hope this does the trick. I guess it's safe to assume I have to aim to get a Cloak of Defiance right?

Yeah I would probably use Cloak (There is a reason it's in 90% of the spell caster builds) but you could get away without it, possibly using a hybrid ES/Life version with Zealot's Oath instead.

Erect
I would like to see a duelist dualwielder build :D
Hey Havoc, thanks for all the hard work helping us out. I modified your life based Uber Atziri ST build to just run maps/normal Atziri but with more damage. Could you take a quick look and tell me what you think? I've tried many different paths and I can't seem to get anything more efficient balancing DPS and life, but maybe you can. Thanks! :)
