Spoiler

You have in a optimal build only 4 open bottle slots (1 is reserved for writhing jar).
On maps with the No-Mana-Recovery-Mod you have to take in an enduring-mana bottle and must map slow.
In A8 heavy ground damage can still kill you (exception is our immunity to burning ground).
You have to take passive tree points instead the clusters not full geared and will miss increased duration or frost wall before you are full geared in lategame.
When you take the tanky nodes only 5 - 12 millions singletarget shaper-dps. That is more than enough for all bosses. You will rush through the maps with your 95% ad
Expensive when you max your body-armour, watcher's eye, amulet, empower and bottled faith.
High prizes are often leaguestart prizes. Ongoing in league they will change. Support and demand changes through the first weeks much in trade.
The cheap starter-gear-variations carry you also safe to lvl 100.

This build shows 3 paths of easy scaleable gear-set-ups.
All editions are very similar based on the same fundament.
They vary mainly the offensives of your Herald with 3 or 4 x the passive skill "pure agony" on medium clusters to obtain 55 or 60 virulences.
Damage, cast speed and quality of life like movementspeed or ailments-immunities are balanced a bit different and you can switch the editions easy and fast.
You can choose your Edition for your experiences in poe, your prefered individualized playstyle and for your own personal goals:
--- pob is not calculating unreserved mana correct - pob's manamanagement is tested and work ----
1.) Boss-Hunter 60 Edition
I would advice to start with this edition. Damage and tankyness are insane united. 60 virulences, 6 M shaper-damage, fullblock capped, no glancing blows.

2.) The Definitive Defensive Tank Edition. Rare unset ring, shaper's touch, enfeeble, 9k ES, 135k AR buffed, 55 virulences, 4.2 M, for level 100 the tanky tank
It is recommended overall for the high levels 97 - 100 in most content deathless or when you not have much experiences in PoE.

Without ironreflexes take a granite flask +1500 armour instead +1500 evasion jade flask. When you want, enduring composure on a cluster for endurance charges is on
Advice:
When you want to go beyond lvl 97 or 98 I would recommend:
1) Skin of the Lords Iron Reflexes (combined with blindings ??), best balanced colours: 3 green, 2 red, 1 blue
2) different socketcolours Skin of the Lords, Iron Reflexes (5 correct colours, 1 blue, 1 red, 2 green sockets for HoA and Pierce remains best or instead one blue for pie
3) Skin of the Lords, Divine shield
4) Skin of the Lords, Ghost dance
5) Skin of the Loyals, 2x +1 Level of socketed gems + 50% reduced damage of critical strikes (perhaps switch major pantheon)
For starting great too, but difficult to play above Level 98:
6) Skin of the Lords, Wind dancer
7) Skin of the Lords, Runebinder, Call to arms, or Zealoth's Oath (1 passive point more free to change)
8) skin of lord/ loyals without added stats or other cheap skin of lords
Grace and vaal grace with aul's uprising remains on all armours first choice for tankyness even without iron reflexes.
Grace is more than doubled by our total 160 % increased global defences and auraeffects.

But: cyclone is not capable and not fitting to substain high damage with 55-60 virulences against singletarget.

To reduce mana for active skills and against elemental reflection map-mods limit ball lightning, storm brand, desecrate and clarity to Lvl 1, quality 20.
When you are missing some strength, limit molten shell to lvl 19. The 75% damagereduction of full 10000 shell remains.
When you use frostwall in the defensive setup, limit it to lvl 1, quality 0

for levelling,

or something else,
here are some suggestions:
1) Start with HoA support gems with less manamultipliers, take a look into the "the dirty scorpion tail" above.
(Awakened) added fire support instead damage on full life or summon-phantasms support instead minion damage are easy and fast ways use less to get enough mana.
While levelling perhaps use only 4 supportgems for the scorpion or supports with almost 0% manamultipler like knockback or stun etc.
2) Perhaps try on an multiple added small clusters more 30% reduced mana reservations for the auras determination with the cluster "uncompromising", or for aura dis
There are notes for each aura 30% reduced mana, but when you stack the same notable on cluster jewels several times they suffer from dimishing returns.
3) Use the helmet-enchant "Herald of Agony has 30% less skillreservation" from labyrinth.
4) Change one jewel (instead fortress convenant for example) in your passive tree to the crimson jewel: Conqueror's Efficency for 2% / 3% less manareservation.
5) Try to fit in an Enlighten-support-gem linked to the auras.
6) Try to fit in more 1% reduced Mana reserved-corruptions on jewels and belt-jewel.
7) Take in the unique blight-boots "the "stampede" in combination with another source of spellblock or the gloves "breathstealer" or the unique amulet stranglegasp an
8) Take 4-6 points for the way to "Discord Artisan" in the upper witcharea of the passivetree.
9) Insert the jewel "intuitive leap" in the central witch area and activate "discord artisan" unconnected, get es on other slots
10) When only 5-20 manapoints are missing to use ball-lightning, try ballghtning without greater multiple support and without spell-echo
11) Or take one passivepoint +20/ 10% mana mana next to "mystic bulwark"
There are a lot of different ways. Grace and determination combined with iron reflexes is worth some points or a bit less damage...

Take one of these skills if you want to stand alone in your frost shield and they will add 40% more damage reduction.
Knockbacks raises also bleeding damage in combination with "vulnerability".
In mapping this avoids many taken hits, but huge bosses and most endgame bosses like Shaper or Maven are knockback-immune.

What are examples for keybindings? What are best triggers for molten shell etc.? Which movementskills are best?
All methods work. For different gamers different keybindings are best and different different triggered skills or manually casted skills fitts best to different playstyles.
Choose your keys intuitive for your style!
Triggers
Only do not forget:
- Vaal skills cannot be triggered, you have to cast them manually
- Frost shield needs around 0.5 seconds manually be casted, it is not instant, take it better on cws for instanttriggering.
I personally for myself prefer instant skill molten shell manually casted. Other players push it on movementbutton autotriggered: left 1 mouse button or on cws.
Frost shield I prefer on cast when stunned / & block. Best because triggered instant.
Spirit offerings (and sniper's mark) are not ideal on cws, but for me personally cozy and better then manually casted. You can manually cast when you want to after de
Curses are best triggered on hit or triggered cast when stunned/ cws/ cwdt.
Keybindings
In the different videos you can see different styles of keybindings.
Choose and order your keys individual and intuitive.
For example I personally prefer:
Left 1. mouse: withered step with phasing autotriggered on movement or phase run for speedmapping
Middle Mouse button: frostblink (or ice nova)
Right 2. Mouse button: desecrate
Q ball-lightning (spam it)
W storm brand (3x)
E molten shell (our most important layer of defense, instant skill)
R vaal discipline (our most important vaal defensive skill, immortal mod, against not blockable damagetypes like dot and aoe. Also first panicbutton)
T vaal grace (our back-up vaal skill when all other skills are on cooldown, a second almost immortal mod)
Space bar Withering step (when you want to use it without movement as 4. panicbutton)
Frost shield on cws is only our backup for cooldowns of all other defensive skills and for facetanking hard bosses. Autotriggered instant skill.
Sniper's mark is on cws linked too best and triggers automatical.
HoA and all auras: discipline (for es), determination (for ar and es/block), grace (for ev or ar and es/ block with iron reflexes), clarity (for watcher's eye mod only): on
When you need a free key for another skill: change "spacebar" and/ or other keys in settings/ options as new key instead one ctrl-key and multiple activate your auras m
To raise spiders use fast: 2x desecrate, 1x writhing jar, 1× frostblink (or storm brand)
Take a look into spoiler "blizzard" for all tipps.
Vaal molten shell, vaal ice nova and vaal clarity I don't take. Less damagereduction than molten shell and I want more vaal souls for vaal discipline and grace.
BUT: Take the keys you like! Everyone likes another key-binding! For different people different keys work best!
Movement
Take the movement and blink-skill you like most! All movementspeed works great!
- Take only 1 "blink" - skill or you get into problems sometimes with their blink-cooldowns. 2 x "movement" is okay.
I would advice:
Overall: take withering step and fasting for continious speed. The elusive is great in heists. The witherstacks are a fast damagebuff in maps. The dodges are another ad
When you need blindings for doubling the capacities of molten shell and frostshield: try the skill smoke mine if you like it for teleport movement.
Flamedash (3 uses), phaserun (no blink-skill-cooldown) etc. are a bit better for more speed without other buffs.
When you have a free skillslot or like speedmapping, you can combine phase run (or shield charge, on mousebutton 1 autotriggered, no blink cooldown) and divergent
All blink- and movementskills fits! Take the one you like and prefer!

This is a legendary number of minions to trigger a lot of skills:
21 Minions have #% chance to blind on hit on a belt-jewel
Blind is the most easy way to get 50% evasion. This evasion works even with iron reflexes. Only 50% of hits reaches us. 100% of damage are evaded from evaded hit
There will be no one shot.
You can also get blind with the Grace mod of watcher's eye and the possibility on a cluster jewel "shifting shadow", "disorienting display" or "evil eye" or on a stibnite
"Bodyguards": Minions knockback enemies

For more, more and more damage switch in your build increased HoA gemlevels on your weapon, your bodyarmour and on your amulett:

With Hatred instead Grace Ironreflexes don't offer much.
Change your Skin of the Lords' keynote to Phase Acrobatics, Runebinder, Elemental Equilirium, or a 2× +1 socket gem-lvls Skin of the Loyals - it offers most damage
- A variant for damage is also a +2 skill-level amulett (around 1M damage).
- Cold iron point dagger with +3 gem levels for the crawler is excellent damage. Take more minions in for your ascendancy buffs with the cold ironpoint dagger.
When you raise HoA up to tipping point level 31, the HoA's attackspeed increases 60%, 1% per virulence (1.5 M).

Anomalous summon skeletons with maim support and feeding frenzy buffs perhaps the best instead of the spiders. Perhaps you get also "skeletal atrophy" on a cluster
Or take tanky spectres with empower and eventually anoint the amulet for +1 spectres with "death attunement" to get the onslaught-ascendancy-buff.
Or prepare a hungry loop ring with supports like feeding frenzy, minion life/ meat shield/ fortify/ withering touch for zombies or animate guardian.

A new powerfull support with hatred for the HoA skills is "Hypothermia support".

Also on gloves you can get very easy & fast damage with the "Grip of the Council" in change for some defences. But I advice to rare gloves with integrated faster cast

You don't need hatred for damage, 4-5 mill s-damage is more than enough for all content!

You will decrease from extreme full tank to full tank.
