You really should have TG chest if you want to be effective. 180 delve heal reactive is a bit deal.

HI, my template has couple rogs but only 1 is really high utility (80+). THe hardest thing about templating a weaponless template is the mismatch and overlaps. It really is like apuzzle, a puzzle which took me about 1 month to solve

.

My temp is not completely weaponless, it is mainhand weaponless. Using a crafted offhand helps in capping everything and I really want the fastest offhand I can get (2.9spd) to get as much haste from LA as possible. I can use any sword or axe in mainhand though, which is beneficial if i decided to switch between them.

Also i have some points in staff just in case I someday decide I want to become Wukong the Monkey King....

Your template looks good if you don't care about it being MHI. If you do want to make it MHI, here are a few things I would suggest:
MP Boots & Gloves - these aren't nearly as expensive as other MP pieces (about 700g/ea) and provide extra utility.
Replace Tuscarian Ring of Deftness
Replace Hollow dragon knuckle

Those last two items are low utility compared to the rest of your items. If you can replace them with some slightly higher utility (around 60) that doesn't overlap with anything, you should be able to make this MHI.

The challenge with MHI templates is that you either need MP gear and 'okay' ROG, or you need really good ROG. You have some really high utility ROG, I think you could easily make this template MHI.

For reference, I was able to make my template MHI and my highest ROG was 76. The rest was in the low 60s... but I had to get MP armor/LA.

Non ROG items I used:
Ice-Shadow Jerkin
SI Neck
Hurika's Quill
Frigid Glacier Skin
Dragonscale Bracelet

thanks for your input. i was trying to get to this specific result, but it was not on the high priority list for the last days, as i am really annoyed by the market explorer window and how the search is conducted there. also i hesitate to pay like 6+ platin for a 70+ Util item :/ The good ROGs are from a nearly perfect roll in TG, and one very lucky drop i got while farming some xp-loot. I will come back when i have the next iteration of the template.
