+ Tons of AoE damage constantly with Sattelites attacking, allowing lots of movement
+ No need for Cooldown Reduction or Mana
+ Great scaling using Thorns as base for damage
+ Uses Sattelite and Lightning Damage as multipliers
+ Convert Health to Thorns damage, so more health means more damage
+ Applies Fire as DoT (Burning Conviction) and often Holy explosion (Expulsion) on most attacks
+ Great survivability from the big HP pool, Grace barrier and Lingering Liberation
+ Sattelites can hit behind thin walls to keep combos going, if you touch them

- Doesn't have any stacking damage, so damage falls short in the long run (Endless Dungeon Tier 50+ not really recommended, can take too long)
- Can be a bit boring at times, as you don't do much besides moving around

• 3 pieces from Thundercharged Battlegear set are mandatory - preferably all except shield
  
• One for All is recommended for Ring/Amulet
  
• Optimal Greater Runes in order of importance: Hearthstone, Elementium, Gravity, Weyrick's Crown
  
• 2 pieces from Furious Retaliation set are an alternative, and a pretty choice until Endless 20+

Thundercharged Crown
Legendary Set Item (Thundercharged Battlegear)
Only item allowed, you need 3 pieces from the set.

Weyrick's Crown
True Legendary Item
Best item to set as a Great Rune, as it'll give a good health boost, damage boost won't help here.

Contender
Legendary Item (Templar Only)
A good filler as a Lesser Rune

• Thundercharged Crown + Contender if you don't have Weyrick's Crown or can't equip 4 Greater Runes

Balgar's Binding
True Legendary Item
Required if you want to push beyond Tier 20 on Endless, not really required before.

Heartstone

Very important item, as it'll convert resistances to health, increasing your health pool a lot. If you're using any of the previous, use this one as a Great Rune.

Paingrinder

Nemesis
Legendary Item
Mandatory, as it'll covert half your health to thorns. If you use it, you'll be able to block (so you tank more), but you'll lose Avenger on Struck, so good for a more defensive build. Can be used as a Lesser Rune on the other offhand item.

Tome of Wrath
Legendary Item
Great item for the build as it increases Avenger damage. If you use it, you won't be able to block (so you tank less), but you'll have Avenger on Struck as well, so good for a more ofensive build. Can be used as a Lesser Rune on the other offhand item.

Sparkstrike
Wrath, Col 1, 3rd skill
Required only to quickly get 10 stacks of Charged Armor buff, and keep them running before they fade. Attacking enemies can also contribute to having more Static Overloads around, so more move/attack speed

Revert
Wrath, Col 1, 2nd skill
Pull enemies towards you, so your Avenger and Expulsion procs do their job better.

Taunt
Conviction, Col 1, 1st skill
Also pull enemies towards you, and lowers cooldown of everything due to Ignite passive.

Haste
Wrath, Col 3, 1st skill
Movement Speed aura, activated gives Attack Speed buff (use on though fights)

Salvation
Conviction, Col 3, 2nd skill
Aura that helps you be alive when you kill enemies, activated increases health/mana regen

Prayer
Redemption, Col 3, 1st skill
Effect Duration aura, activated gives Cooldown Reduction buff (use on though fights)

If you don't have any True Legendary/Dropped Runes and is starting out as level 100, use 3 pieces from the Retaliator's Striders, so you also get 50% of Damage turned into Thorns.

At this point, you don't need to scale HP and Resistances, so instead of Shadow Resistance, you should get Thorns and Damage. All Resistances is something to max though, for survivability, but won't give you damage yet.

Also, spending less points on Redemption tree, and fitting them into Vengeance tree would be a good idea, so you get Reprisal Aura (Col 3) and Retribution (Col 4) to get a Thorns boost to begin with.

And of course, no need for damage stagger, until you have Balgar's to mitigate it, it usually won't save you, better to get all resistances and damage reduction instead.
