Unbroken/Shifter

[Krowseph]

I am trying to see if Unbroken/Shifter would work for one of my companions on POTD difficulty without getting torn apart in a few seconds.  I am trying to build around high pen disengage attacks as well as Avenging storm from Heaven's Cacophony.

 

I'm assuming the stat spread should be something like Boeroer's "Bat**** Crazy" build from pillars 1 (https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/83775-class-build-batsht-crazy-disabling-druid-tank/)

 

Any suggestions on if this can work?  What should I build around?  Any must have items?

 

Thanks!

If you like mods try Tactician + Evolution Shifter. With Faerie Fire (PL 2) and later on Nature´s Beauty (PL 7) you can easily get all enemies flanked. Feels borderline OP so far...

Funny though: Batsh!t Crazy is a non-shifting build.

 

The worst "anti-synergy" of Unbroken/Shifter is that you won't be able to use the "+1 AR when wearing a shield" passive of the Unbroken while shifted. If that's not a problem for you: why not?

 

Weapons and armor won't matter since they get replaced with shifted stuff anyways. The rest... I presume protection/deflection and regeneration items would be nice. Nothing too fancy comes into my mind.
