Best General Build Currently? (Curse VII, 760% Overlord Mode confirmed)

[KANTENMANN]

Hi, I was just wondering what your/the best build is currently.

The best Ive done so far is 760% Overlord Mode progression on Curse VII

I have done this with the following build (based on the build from the "Reduce the Grind"-Guide:
Any Charakter really (My best was with Barbarian I think)
All Skill Tree Nodes that apply to all characters fully unlocked
Runes: Singular Focus, Lord's Bane, Misfortune's Embrace, Reroll Mastery, Skill Inclination: Holy, Skill Mastery (Might, Light Beam)
Active Skills: 1 Might, 5 Light Beam

At that difficulty, boss attacks one shot you regardless of HP (600+ damage) and attacks are almost instant. The damage is still viable, but boss kills start to get more slow.

Are there any completely OP builds that have a way to mitigate the oneshots or even higher damage?

Shield Wall. Slap it on anything even on ice stack bombers. At some super high potency, it can reduce that 60x enemy damage down to a way more manageable ~4x and let flat damage reduction handle the rest. Any healing ability helps, too.

I usually pick Shield Wall and Exorcism, they complement each other very well IMO

You don't need to stack Light Beams for the super build. You only need 1. Beam + Beacon are more than enough DPS. Everything else is just buffs and survival mechanisms.

Do buff skills stack? I thought they overwrote each other.

You can use different Buffs together.
E.g Bloodlust + Arcane Power + Might + Scent of Blood

One Bloodlust will always give you one Bloodlust Buff.
If cast speed is higher than Duration, it just gets resetted.

But with Singular Focus you can pick Bloodlust x2 and will recieve two different instances of the Bloodlust Buff.
