I have tested a lot of builds. I recently tried hard to make shackle breaker or amberplasm work but I end up sacrificing too much tankeness or damage fitting the sets. So I roll this and use tri pots for stamina management. The main benefit of lich being that you only have to have on back bar so you can have 2 monster set peices. This build can be adjusted to sharpened staff and a different monster set if you don't mind being less tanky and just want to rely on shields.
