One big question about Watcher's Eye with *Energy Shield gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline* How good is it ?
Honestly, I feel this build already leeches enough ES through Essence Rush and has enough ES recovery through the shield + the Divine Shield keystone that it's not needed.
If you want to go for the minmax, sure, but it doesn't add a ton.
I was just lucky enough to be able to pick it up quite cheaply back in the day :)

Yes, this built is really fun, I seldom used my panic flask anyway. I want to hit at least 40K armour though, and having trouble with it (still dying once in a while..).
I finally hit lv 96! I tried having unwavering focus + rapid infusion, it's so underwhelming after spending like 500 alt on it (though I also manage to get another cluster jewel that i sold for 1.5 ex).
Do you all think unwavering focus + enduring focus is better? It's much cheaper also. I feel my damage can scale much more but still hoping to be more tanky.

Tried Enduring Focus when the update launched in Standard en Endurance charges were hardly ever up. Very inconsistent.

I think the choice comes down to what you are looking for.
Rapid Infusion gives a lot more DPS than Enduring Focus and Enduring Focus gives Endurance Charges which can help defensively.
Also, if you get a chance, read the first post in the thread, we did some experiments with Enduring Focus that were underwhelming.

Hey, good to see you back in the thread! We missed you these last couple of days where we have made some interesting changes to the build.

Hey!
Yea, had some rough days at work, didn't feel like gaming too much :)
Saw you got the Warcry anoint and Inc AoE on Infernal Cry, and no double curse, right?

I see. Thanks! I read the first post so many times but somehow I missed the enduring focus discussion.

Sorry to hear that. I hope things go better for you in work.
Yes, and also swapped Controlled Destruction for Concentrated Effect.
This gives us 100% up time on EO and significantly better AOE.
The thought was that between monsters who are curse immune and the map mods where we can't curse, some times our double curse is just being wasted. But there is no immunity against EO and bigger AOE (we can get around 1.5 screens of kills now if density is good). And with Scourge being a clearing league, having IC available more often is very important.
Our steady state DPS is higher and more consistent. However our spike DPS is lower than the original build when everything turns on occasionally (EO, double curse and unnerve).
Some of us also added in a new flask which is working really well until we can afford Bottled Faith.

Congratulation on getting 96.
I've been using enduring focus for my cluster and i think you need 2 (if the chance stack) for it to reliably generate endurance charge.
Most of the time while mapping things die so fast that you don't channel long enough to generate one and in bossing situation most of the time you have to follow the boss so your channelling time is short (sirius, Al hazim and maven come to mind).
You end up with only one or two most of the time from my experience and rarely get to 3.

Good thinking!
Although one side note I would like to make is that, when you can afford it, Awakened Hextouch actually does allow hexproof enemies to be cursed, so I would argue that for the highest potential, the version I'm running is still best.
But ofcourse I know that Awakened Hextouch isn't the easiest to come by, so your approach might be better for the greater good.
