The Build
This build is made mostly for PvP but can be used in PvM but lacks crowd control id say . I've tryed this build in PvU and found it very effective takeing out Ubur Meph,Diablo and Baal. This build is not cheap!!!
Stat Points
Strength: Strength lets you wear equipment. How much you need depends on your gear. I would try and get as little as possible in this stat just aim for 156 after all item bonuses.
Dexterity: Here you will want enough for blocking with stormshield.
Why you ask?? Well this shield has a nice block rate and gives a heap of DR(very important) and with max block your evasion skills you'll find you wont get hit very often.
Vitality: As much as possible this stats gives us life which is then increased with WB and BO.
Energy: DONT PUT ONE POINT HERE YOUR MAIN ATTACK REQUIRES NO MANA!!!!!!!!!!
Skills
Only one skill tree is needed on a bearzon. The Passive & Magic skill tree.
Passive & Magic Skills
(Matrix Skills)
These are your main skills.
Critical Strike:Passive Effect: Grants a chance to do double physical damage with your attacks.
I recomend you get this to skill level 23 with +skills this will give you a 70% chance to do double damage. No more is needed but spare points at the end can be put here.
Dodge: Passive Effect: Grants a chance to move out of the way of a melee attack while standing still or attacking.
I recomend you get this to skill level 29 with +skills this will give you a 60% dodge no more is needed because Dodge has hit severe deminishing returns.
Avoid:Passive Effect: Grants a chance to move out of the way of a missile attack while standing still.
I recomend you get this to skill level 30 with +skills this will give you a 70% chance to dodge a missile attack.
Penetrate:Passive Effect: Additional chance to hit.
I recomend you max this skill. it gives lots of AR and this skill doesn't have deminishing returns.
Evade:Passive Effect: Grants a chance to escape any attack while moving.
I recomend you get this to skill level 28 with +skills this will give you a 60% chance to dodge any attack.
With left over points you can max out Valkyrie and give yourself a pretty mean tank.
Depending on your equipment/charms you can have loads of points left over or very little in which case you put additional points in dodges or critical although it doesnt really matter.
Gear
Headgear
There really isnt any ultimate options for this build but ill suggest some good options.
Shako:Skills,DR/Life/mana not much more you need out of a helm.It can have a OS in which you can use to fill in any gaps in your equip
Crown of ages:Skills,Resists,DR,FHR and a possibility of 2 open sockets. Use these to fill in any gaps.
Gullames face:Ultimate PvU headgear socket with um to help against mephs conviction.
Weapon
There is one great weapon for this build.
GRIEF Phase Blade
Nice damage and its fast. Not much more you need.
Alternatives.
Stormlash(sheal): CB for some more ubur ownage and a viable weapon for pvp.
Ebotdz:Nice damage,ok speed and 30 to all stats
Razors edge(shael): Decent weapon for you poorer people.

War travs:The added damage is nice but id take gores over this.
Gloves
Draculs:Life leech,OW and a chance to cast lifetap to top it all off.
2 passive,Stat,CB 20 IAS it not need on this build considering it doesnt effect shapeshift attack speed.
