Neither does Jitan but I assume it was just overlooked, since the guide seems to have been updated in 1.7.

Yes you would be missing out on the block, which seems pretty critical to the build.

If you are trying to give enemies a pleasure, it doesn't kill stuff.

[Ruubel]

I have the same question (same items). You need that ife spark on hitting scroll and mana on strike relict/ belt and the rest is ususal dex spam. IED bonuses itself are at items way too small, dex spamming is better+ blocking and raw def ofc. Maybe at the endgame IED build might be even stronger but phys melee has better scaling, you can leech mana/life and do not have to wrestle with pierces among of other issues.

[Bulooka]

Ele melee sorc looks fun. It seems like a meme but it could be strong. Depending on Lachdanan, it may need defensive gear to round it out

if we need the slight defensive edge, but %aa on dex is also a good choice

tl;dr: Like Ruubel said, IED seems like a bait, max dex, achieve max pierce if you can, meet breakpoints, 2pc henchman is really good, LAEK or life spark is probably a must to survive, high PR and life are our friend
