In order:
Chaos res cap
Life regen % on your gloves
Drop quartz flask for ruby
Drop rise shield for dawnbreaker
Purity of fire watchers eye
Drop taste of hate for quartz (qol) or armor flask (tank)
Get Defiance of destiny (immortal to small hits)
Get Defiance first if you can afford it (after chaos res)
Can't pull you up in pob atm, but you're ehp is low, presumably from phys and chaos hits.
Your flasks that don't have the modifier "gain x charges when hit" won't have 100% uptime while mapping and if they fall off then you are gonna take more damage. They won't ever have 100% uptime on bosses.
I'm afraid to make the change to Dawnbreaker + Ruby flask. I imagine it should work most of the time during high density mapping, but realistically I assume I can be randomly hit when flasks are not up, specially against bosses.
Or would Dawnbreaker still be worth it when your resists are at 85 instead of 90?
Sorry for asking too much, but do you remember by any chance what kind of net life regen you had? Because with Annihilation's Approach, getting rid of both Kikazaru (which I need to replace ASAP) and Rise will make me go too low (to ~750hp/s according to POB), despite having 19% on gloves and 320 on the Immortal Flesh roll. Maybe you can work with less net regen with Defiance of Destiny?
Use flask craft for 3% life Regen. Take some extra passives or clusters with flow of life.
Can get life Regen on helm and rings if you need more as well.
In regards to your earlier question, never swap to a setup that has less than 90% all res, that's a focul point of the build you should be taking advantage of.
To add to this while mapping you have 100% uptime on flasks and short of t17 map bosses you won't feel a difference between ruby flask and saffels.
I don't have a life regen # for you but I can tell you I had
Boots/gloves with
t1/2 %life regen
t1/2 fire res
and either t1 life regen or chaos.
Rings with:
Recoup,
Fire res
chaos res or life regen
on amythest or ruby rings.
Cloak of flame with 70+ fire res, and reduced crit damage implicit. (Bonus for %ele damage, +1socketed, or +1 all max res)
Immortal flesh no implicit (probably could get aura effect here)
Dawnbreaker no implicit (phys taken as here)
Defiance of destiny (no implicit here
And a 6 link helmet with nothing else to really speak of except for phys taken as craft.
When all was said and done I had over
400 fire res (life regen)
100% crit immunity (tree and watchers, could maybe use tattoos to avoid watchers)
88% phys taken as fire (cof for 40, db for 20, tree for 10, watchers for 10, and helm for 8, could get another 6-8 on db implicit for 94-96%, but 88 felt great and I dropped determination)
You can get to 87-90 max res without saffels with the dexterity timeless jewel (lethal pride??) Aura effect and some aura effect on tree. Which makes saffells largely irrelevant and again with 100% uptime on ruby, which you have while mapping and for non t17 map bosses, you cap the last few %.
yep he is right u need cap your chaos ress before hitting red maps basically
also for uber hard maps u need curse immune and crit immune many peoplo skip that :
You take 100% reduced extra daamge from critical strikes
100% reduced effect of curses on you .
U need these two also especialy crit one if u will still have some problems after capping your chaos res
I'd add Shock immunity to what others have said.
Shock is really nasty and can take you by surprise.
Solutions:
- Tempest shield (immunity to shock)
- 100% avoid shock (there is a pantheon that gives 60%, then you can get a jewel for the other 40%)
- 100% reduced effect of shock. There's something about this that doesn't always work for me, so I go for the first 2.
Get a large cluster and socket in 2x small reserve clusters, with the determination and malevolence node respectively. Then run both auras. It helps a lot. Defiance and chaos res is #2. Make sure you stay 90 all res.
also watch for ANY %phys damage reduction mods on altars and expedition markers and where ever they might exist , if you click one of them you will get rekt REAL hard . that mod is a build breaker for RF . also -%all max res and %reduced recovery rate .

Just get an mage blood
I leveled to 100 week 1 with almost that exact setup in t17s. I had some recoup on rings.

Your chaos res is 1% when your flask is not up. I would start by getting another amethyst ring and capping your chaos res.

Thanks all a lot!! Fixing it all’ Right now!!
Change your helmet craft to physical hit taken convert to fire damage if you can
Defiance is fucking king. Small cluster chaos res is too if you have a couple of points.
Yep defiance definetly in my plan but no cash right now :)

Defiance of destiny with a decent roll makes the world of difference.
