Why do I need DPS when I can just pike?

Remind me to never level with 4 leveling partners again.

Cestus had a good gear setup for this . . . I'll see if my search-fu is working today.

I see zero eGH items there - it's 2-3 weeks away, I would be planning with it unless you already have all that.

Your neck slot is weak.  I'd do either:

Epic Necklace of Venom for the SFL, Protect +5, Poison on Vorpal, -20% threat (you aren't a tank).  This frees up your yellow slot on the Epic Gem.  And makes better use of the gem to give you two set bonuses from it.

Epic Grims bracelent- +7 str, dodge 3%, green slot(love green slots).  Switch your dun'robar ring to +2 con variant as your helm is giving you the +7 con and +2 str.  (Or get rid of the helm and combine the +2 con or+2 str on the ring with a loot gen +8 con helm or wait for a black or white dragon helm with +8/+3 str/con stat on it)

As you mentioned, the Cloak is the other questionable slot.  Two suggestions:

Epic Cloak of Night would be a good fit in the Cloak slot if you have one.  Gives you the deathblock, 2% dodge, DR/5, and ghostly. 

Admantine Cloak of the Bear isn't bad for you as it will give you some defensive stats and the +6 Exceptional Combat Mastery.   

Otherwise, it looks pretty solid.

EDIT:  Might want to consider Dragon Scale vs. Dragon Plate if you do the Epic Grims and/or Epic Cloak of Night.  With the Dun'Robar you will be at 9% dodge on those items, which is wasted on the Heavy Armor.

Cloak of the Bear has Incite which would kinda counter one benefit of the Necklace of Venom. He already gets combat mastery from the spare hand too, although I guess only +5.   

What about something Cannith Crafted with a large slot? Not ideal, but maybe you could throw something in there with electric absorption or something like that?

Good items:

Ring of the stalker
Dun'robar Stunning+10
ESParehand
Deneith Heavy CHain
Twisting Shade
Nethergrasps
Adamantine cloak of the bear/wolf depending on preference
E CAvalry Plate
PDK set (gloves, helm, armor)

some of these are place holders until you tweak it yourself but all but the adamantine cloak/cavalry plate are solo farm

Good suggestion. What's up, man?

I do love that they put one of the (if not the) best items in the pack at the end of eCrucible. Almost makes up for taking it out of flagging.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother grinding much until they've fucked up every bonus type. For the good of the game.
