Will this build match up to casters and melee? Is there anything I'm not considering? Any tips, critiques, etc.?

Firstly, your really going to have to lvl past lvl 86 and go to AT LEAST lvl 90, ideally the better bva's ive seen go to about lvl 95.

Secondly, you're 'bvc' setup seems a bit off. Why in the world are you not useing GreifZ+BeastZ combo? Yes the um'd wizzy is nice to have, as well as the fcr/res/mana are more than welcomed, but i think your damage is really suffering from only having your eBoTDZ as the only form of real dmg output.

Also, do you not have many res/life charms do you? Your life isnt bad, but its not really that ideal. Ive usually heard that most bvc's go for 6k life with a massive stack of resist.

I think your on the right track, but you still have a lot of gear collecting left to do. Dont forget to practice those tri-whirls!

Thanks for the input. I'm not really that wealthy, so my life charms are limited (although this build is still on singleplayer). I get 480 base life from charms. Maybe the reason why it is so much lower than other BvC is because they don't have to plug 100+ points into dexterity. At any rate, I will try for as many + life scs as I can. I was thinking for BvC that with 175 res in Hell and some absorb it would be enough?

The good thing is, this build is still in the preliminary. What other items do you suggest when you say 'you need to find alot more items still'?

Also, would Grief zerker do more damage than Eth BOTDZ? I'm not entirely sure on how grief+ dmg works (especially combined with fortitude) because it doesn't show on the character screen. Care to fill me in? Perhaps vs. casters I will go for the grief+BOTDZ because I already have fanaticism on my merc (which allows me to exclude +IAS gear and deal alot more damage.) I will have to find a caster ammy/rings and/or use trang gloves to hit a higher FCR.

Thanks.
