Pretty sure with 600hp, Brutus will look at you and you will die in Merciless. Not sure how you've gotten that far with just 600hp.

I slipped up and got hit by a Roa charge in the fetid pools, but I've been careful about not getting hit since, so its been a while since my last death.

How is that even possible? Gear leading up to Merciless alone should be giving more hp than that ._.

Not that I've been seeing. Only item that would give near that much hp only gives 1k, and it doesn't even have any other stats! Other items give, like, +50. How do you get 4k? :x

Did you not take any hp nodes in the tree at all? How on earth did you get that far without them...

Nah, and it wasn't that hard. I think Act III Cruel Piety killed me twice solo.

I'm thinking about grabbing Eldritch Battery soon. Will dropping my 150~ ES hit my survivability too hard, or should I go for it?

Should have more than that by lvl 15...

I had 3k hp Oo

You either have 0 hp nodes or you are vendoring gear with life modifiers :/

Either way, *golfclap* for not running out of portal scrolls.

Bleh, don't listen to them.

Everybody's saying you need every hp node available, 5k life, a bazillion resists etc. etc. On my witch I haven't taken a single defensive node in the passive tree. The defensive stats I have are just from my items giving me about 600 life and 800 energy shield with about 40 resist all. I am using Spark and Arc and I can still do a lot of maps fairly easily. Most stuff dies before it can get to me. Glass cannon is a viable strategy in this game just like it was in Diablo 2.

If I was using Freezing Pulse or Ice Spear instead things would no doubt be a lot easier as well.

why would I be running out of portal scrolls?

Also, you have no idea how hard it is to find gear with the right slots/colors/and +hp along with the stats I need.

One of them have to be sacced, on average. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to replace any of my gear since normal, save my shield and my boots.

Guessing it COULD be possible with max minions, one totem with multiple proj ice spear and another with sparks forks etc

Wow tip of the hat my friend, keep up the good work!
