Of course he has 1 life - his character is CI. Phase run has already been nerfed.

i think he meant they have 1 life and very very low es compared to an es based character.
just like immortal builds last league.

dude he has 191 es, are u kidding me?????????

Has nothing to do with phase run (well not much at least) and everything with gluttony of elements, selfcursing and a second gluttony on a teammate.

Im pretty surprised though, that he seems to get away with 40% phys taken as ele, intuitively it would seem that you'd need at least 50%, (heal from gluttony countering the remaining phys part). Oh yeah, btw RF heals him too.

probably u r right that its the gluttony of elements. elemental dmg heals u. but he has only 30% of phys dmg taken as lightning dmg. how does he prevent getting 1 shot? when he can survive in 23xx delve without defenses he can probably also survive in delve 5000+ without defenses...

Negative lightning resistance.

40% converted to lighting, 60% taken as phys.
Needs 60/40= 1.5 increased lightning damage taken, or -50% resist.

He is immortal while Gluttony is active.

Iirc the only thing that can kill is some weird degen effects that don't appear in delve (or only in specific encounters).

And darkness damage started to kill havoc's team last league at some point.
They needed to consume a huge amount of flasks that also had no radius (because the upgrades get super expensive down there).

AHH, yeah, i understand :D. Ty!

Gluttony is such a broken item, but in many ways it's also an emblem of what i love about PoE. Using negative resistances to your advantage - what a neat little "clever usage of gamemechanics".

Should probably removed from the game, it's broken beyond repair.

Good thing about it: it's a nightmare to set up (a lot of worm flask* hideout teleporting back and forth to get the initial vaal souls), and it's only really "required" in very deep delves when every little monster starts to dish out millions of damage.

*: Another participant in a lot of "clever usage of game mechanics" broken builds.

i dont understand the negative resistance thing and how gluttony makes it happen that he doesnt take any dmg.
doesnt he take 60% phys dmg?
