P.S For the record, I have 1400 HP.

Maps, as I understand it, are a different story.


what level ?

I'm 37 and about 700 hp, and I'd like to know if that's a good number or I should start selecting more life nodes from here on out.


I finished Merciless at level 64 I think and that is when I had 1400 HP. I am now 67 and I have about 1600 HP and doing fine. I have no idea if that is good or not, but I very rarely die as I said and that is with -60% Chaos. I am a very careful player though. ;P

I don't facecheck unknown rooms with my face if I know there are enemies about that can deal Chaos.


dumb question, but what's -60% chaos ?

60% chaos resistance, or ?
Lets just say this, in merciless Maps.

At lv 70, you get 1 shot if you have less then 2000 hp with -60% chaos res.

you can take about 1 hit, thats about it.


---------------------
What is -60.
-60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 +10 +20 +30 +40 +50 +60

You will never reach +60, you be lucky to even reach 0.

Like it's said, minus 60% chaos resistance. Meaning if a mob deals 1000 basic chaos damage to you, you'd take 1600 damage as a result.

It comes from higher level difficulty :
Normal : 0% (no penalty)
Cruel : -20% to all resistance
Merciless : -60% to all resistance

holy sh*t ! I missed the fine print. I assume the other resistances are penalized at higher difficulties ?

_now_ I understand why CI shadows are a worthwhile build.
yeah, yeah I missed the _all_ resistances part.
