Ey wanted to ask you ab your preference of 270def on the shield--personally I go for the 2% block for the chance to completely block cc (whereaas 270def may mitigate damage but will still leave you tripped 2% more of the time). Also, 270def has diminishing returns after the soft cap, altho that's not an issue when wearing cloth which is what I'm moving towards, not sure if you already run that usually. As always great guide and I'll def keep this bookmarked as I continue to work toward 55 :)
Can I poke your thoughts on what skills to take with the new points?
Can work, but not optimal. Other builds are just better for pve, like arcanist/demonologist.
Does this also work in pve ?
