Solo pure mage with Mirror Image/Spectral Blur/Aura of Life/Alchemist's Gloves/Staff of Hours, pretty much almost nothing can hit you and the amount you heal is insane :p

Hehe will try it next time. Btw I made a speed run act 1 to get aura of rage... its crazy op... makes you able to solo groups of 6-7 disfavored at level 12. Only downside is that the heal it provides (although its drain) levels your control life which I dunno if is a bug or intended use. I also got volcanic weapon again and used it on freezing grip (frost sigil + material force). Seems that volcanic weapon levels up your control fire even its applied to a frost spell. Anyway I'll stick to it... I got a feeling it will again skyrocket my level but this time I made sure that act 1 was pure one handed training so maybe it will suffice. Anyway my char is so god damn op at this stage. I'll upload a quick video soon just to show you power level I reached.

Don't really see how the enemies will be stronger than you if you overlevel.
They stop their scaling at level 18 and you are at 14 already.
If the enemies are 4 levels stronger than now you will have 0 issues hitting them even with your current level, but you will have gained 4 levels yourself.
And ofc if you level THAT quickly you won't stay 18 for long.

Haha u'd be surpriced how scaling can totally destroy build across just few levels. This build is similar to the one that failed. The only difference this time is that I use shield and stick to 1 weapon type (one handed) whole game. This build revolves around synergy. Enemy miss procs riposte -> riposte procs hits -> hits proc volcanic weapon with material force. It doesn't take much to destroy this synergy... it would only take only more accuracy on enemies so they don't miss me = bye bye riposte from duelist talent. And if their defences go much higher fast ill run into some issues. Also I'm sure those banes that got dispell aura around them will pose some challenge (no defensive spells no imbued weapon)

I don't think with the deflection system you won't get missed anymore.
Atm you have natural misses + graze to miss conversion.
Also you use mirror Image, other people don't use mirror image, have 180 parry on level 21 and riposte all day. :)
