+ The bonus defense was fairly low due to the Unholy tree (first I chose the Holy tree because of the Lionheart) so the Vitality bonus is decreased
+ What was your skill points put? I still think the flat damage of the Azurewrath is not so high (when all buffs were on, I had ~10k vitality, no UMOs) so the clear speed was a little bit slow.
+ I still had to use healing potions many times when entering labs, because the healing rate is not good even with Vindicate and Ward of Fate.


Well my character is lvl 150 and have 26 Lew runes socketed , max UMOs , all charms with trophies , 90 to all max res ,

with 271 flat vitality alongside golden cycle in it , so id say its geared to the max and from my prespective i dont have any issues whatsoever. I used to play this build as Holy version with Cherrubim but it got severely nerfed since 2.1 patch where i had nearly 75k hp so i swapped to Unholy melee variation and found out that its even tankier due to the negative debuffs it apply to mobs around you. If ure experiencing difficulties on higher labs like 8-10 range make sure you have overcapped resistances - 260 stacked elemental res and 90 max res + 60 phys res for harpy curse as our HP is greater than mana , best item swap we can have there is replacing

with sockets to fill your lacking resists , if your resists are fine just by swapping to Wheel just slam more Lew runes in it. Here are some pictures of my stats with farming gear fully buffed with Veneration up :

Thanks. One more question: Why did your build have +spell damage a lot? Did this add anything to Bladestorm or weapon damage?
Because the Superbeast morph also adds more damage, but I don't know what type of damage it added. The tooltip wasn't clear enough.

It has spell damage due to charms + the set gloves , as i mentioned i have all charms with trophies and Dimentional Key + Paragon Soulstone charm both gives like 95% spell damage but no , spell damage does NOT increase Bladestorm damage. Vitality and flat cold damage will povide you with the most damage gain. We use Superbeast due to Dragon's Blessing being locked cuz we are using Unholy Devotion and it provide us with cool morph pretty much :D

Yes I noticed that Superbeast morph won't increase the damage, just to looks cool. But when the morphed done, the ingame damage stat increased a little bit, maybe not so accurate xD
