EDIT: I would not recommend playing a PM in the current state of the game.
After having reached level 80, and evaluating my effectiveness in runs I feel I would be doing a disservice to suggest a build here.
There is some earlier legendary level content you will do well in, but when getting to abyss and limbo, there are better options with more versatility.
I would recommend playing a sorc instead.
My build is still here for reference:

Notes | The open subrace build lacks Div focus. This is needed for abyss, so make sure to upgrade race before heading here! | This is the build I'm playing! | Going negati looses search capability, but picks up a few extra feats to play with. I'd recommend EMA & Greater ruin. |
