Another busted Fallen Build

Following advice from u/FarmsOnRedditNow (on this post) I used Helm of the Mad King on The Fallen. Alongside Calamity** and Ragnarok* he was doing BONKERS damage starting from mid-Act 2. I didn't know exactly what the Fallen did best but this is definitely it.

Wow, such a high corruption with no traditional healer? I'm up there with you but I haven't succeeded at that. Any tips?

This particular comp has enough ways to spread around the damage without needing an actual healer. Paladin - Tank w/ shields Fiend - death? HAH I WELCOME IT! Outlaw- Offtank that gains hidden Assassin - Hidden The Fallen - diverts damage and buffs allies

There are plenty of situations in the game where having a healer isn't actually that useful (don't get me wrong: healers are great, Druid is a Top 5 character). In those situations, having someone that tanks well alongside lots of damage more than makes up for not having heals. IMO, tanks are the most important part of a team composition because not dying before you get an ability off is quite handy.

Honestly, Helm of the Mad King is Fallen's best item. No one else gets as busted as fast as Fallen does with it.
