What's SICKPAW
SICKPAW is the initials of the 7 core unique items in this build

Shackle of the Wretched
Incandescent Heart
Coward's Legacy
Kaom's Roots
Precursor's Emblem
Aegis Aurora
Watcher's Eye

Also worth mentioning here, 6 Keystone passives are utilized in this build


With all of this stuff, this build has:
50%+ more duration of any buff such as Vaal Righteous Fire, Phase Run, and all flasks
50-60% Block AND Spell block
80%+ Phys reduction (default value at lv83+)
84%/87%/84%/100% effective resistances
All time max Power + Frenzy + Endurance charge
Auto ES replenish on top of any leech and recharge

Mechanisms
Self_Temporal_Chain

Wretched Kaom self curse mechanism has emerged for some time but it's never gone popular due to profit/investment+restriction+drawback ratio

When hitting enemy with the skill in Shackle of the Wretched, Temporal Chain on it is applied to enemy and yourself. The first effect "less Action Speed" is ignored when Kaom's Root is equipped, and the second effect "other effects expires 40% slower" extend buffs and debuffs multiplicatively, with a preset 40% reduced effect on players and increased curse effect from tree and gear
This part is inspired by a recent advanced version of the mechanism https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2276369, getting 50% curse effectiveness at a time rather than picking up 5% here and there, and then Low Life 30% more spell damage along with larger potential drawback


Aegis_auto_ES

The previous "most incapable to die" tank build was basically dead after block chance apply to spell mechanism was cancelled in 3.4. However, the vicious balance team buffed Aegis Aurora's defence 2.5 times out of inexplicable reason in 3.5. And in fact with flasks and all possible passives, gear and ascendancy both block and spell block can reach near cap without Reckless Deadfangse



In addition, Delve offered an efficient way to get Iron Reflexes that most effectively boost Armor, and Betrayal veiled mods turn this to be a positive synergy. 40K armor can be acquired with very few flat armor from gear


Self Temp Chain makes important flasks easier to maintain without the need for Pathfinder, and Aegis returns to offer the best recovery mechanism, with a common requirement, the least used aura skill

Passives
Tree

General tree for all 3 Classes

Bandit
Alira

Pantheon
Major God - Solaris
Minor God - Abberath

Ascendancy


Hierophant is not the only choice. Templar, Witch and Shadow all can use the same skill tree with little to none change. Hierophant provides ES, easier mana issue, charge generation and 20% more damage from brands; Guardian can cap both block; Occultist gives more ES recovery and curse functions; and Elementalist, Assassin and Inquisitor are damage oriented


Skills
What's better, as opposed to MF builds, this build has free one handed weapon, helmet and 6 link, so any 6 link standalone spell can be used with specific enchantment for it, and any weapon from most defensive to most offensive can be used without too much adjustment


Unchanged gem links


Additional Notes
Actually this build is just a cheeky stepping stone before you earn enough to afford this "EZ GG build" https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2170998
