Hello

I first I want to say thank you Rico for the build. Its my first time playing POE and after a MF Flame Totem build, I now leveling my Mjölner Berseker using this guide. And man this build is fun to play.

I'm currently lvl 84 and going the full defensive route. Regarding the skills the only deviation are full set of purity aura's and molten shell instead of a curse in the cwdt setup. I try to get the cwdt setup with enfeeble but up to now no luck rolling the correct socket colors. Btw my cwdt setup is set to go off at 1,3k damage taken. I didn't found an exact lvl value in the guide.

Also the enlightened gem is still in the process of enlightenment and im wondering if I farm the 90C faster to buy a lvl 3 one.

For now my resist stats are 85/84/84 and 22% chaos resist and my life is at 4,5k with 1k ES.

I'm running tier 6-9 maps and the damage is great. Most of the time I'm spamming a quicksilver flask of adrenaline and running from pack to pack. The only slowdowns are essence mobs with 2-3 high level essences or map bosses. But this is most likely due to the missing multistrike for the molten strike setup (again the socket colors).

But the real problem is defense.

1. Element reflect maps. No chance what so ever to run these maps. Are the 2% max res from lvl 21 purities nececcary to run even low-mid tier maps with reflect? Or do you need to have 100% uptime of fire/lightning flasks?

2. Random one shots. Even with all the defensive layers I'm still dying suddenly. At first I thought it was the low chaos resist so I bought a new ring and belt and got from -40 to +22. This did help a little but some bosses are still very very dangerous. One example is the boss duo from the gorge map or the boss from the temple map.

My plan for now is getting the +1 curse note and running two defensive curses (blasphemy + temp chains; cwdt + enfeeble). Will this help me with the one shotting or I'm missing something?

Also in the build guide you write about life totals exeeding 5,5k. How ist this possible with this build? I have take every life note, i have life on my open ring and belt slot but I'm only at 4,5k. I'm only missing %life on my 4 jewel slots and 10 lvl. Are those missing stats really worth 1k+ life total?
