Since a lot of people [Hate] [Nekros]' shadows, may as well make a tank build that doesn't utilise it.
Due to no longer using [Shield Of Shadows], you no longer need to dedicate multiple slots to Power Strength as it is now useless for you, and can get the best of both range and tankiness at the same time. I've always disliked SoS for this reason because strength is otherwise useless for a [Despoil] build and building it just for [Shield Of Shadows] seems like a poor choice when you can drop it and gain much better range instead.
Use a Sentinel with [Synth Deconstruct] so you can pick up health orbs even while full to fuel [Health Conversion] (and also get some energy from [Equilibrium])
