Haven't felt this powerless in endgame in forever.

You say you think you don't need resists, and then go splat and wonder why. Also, scourge stacks.... tons of increased damage taken.
You don't follow guides and I bet don't look up or compile info to make a proper well thought out build.

All around a game knowledge issue.

and to think, people accuse redditors of being bad players when this guy exists.

There is so much information people like you bypass for your superiority complex.

1. I died more in that map than the entire league combined.
2. It's a T3 map, and I've never needed more defenses than this on other characters here (and it's obviously something I'm working on. Stop acting like I'm lowering my resists on purpose.)
3. I've done T16 maps on other characters.
4. I state in the picture that I'm aware of stacks. One death is at 10 stacks.

I admit that my game knowledge is lacking, but your inability to read the information I laid out isn't much better.

The fact that you can even consider a collective as a skill group is a bit silly.

What I said to the guy above goes for you as well.

Before you remotely consider taking rekikyo's advice on anything, look at her scourge character.

She is running poet pen lightning conversion which does... 27k dps, doing nonsensical things like running purity of elements to make up for 11 missing lightning resistance.

Main skill tempest shield which does.. 30k dps.

Just look at the character and judge for yourself.

This is someone who has zero game knowledge.

Not saying you are wrong, but not cool to call out another player while hiding your own characters.

You heard it here folks, don't need resists, its just a t3

I clear T3s outside of scourge zones incredibly easily. Congratulations on missing the entire point because two of my resists are 11/4% off. The leap slam death probably mixed up my main point needlessly, but I figured it was clear I'm referring to the Nightmare.

Many pseudo elitists in this thread, but also a lot of helpful people. It's hilarious that you hide your profile when leaving an unhelpful criticism like this.

It's almost as if people like you play PoE to get a superiority complex. I've stated it before, but I've done T16 maps on other characters. My builds are far from optimized, but I tend to know how to progress usually.

I'm going to quote a few things and get out of here, since people like you who can't seem to read properly keep popping in.

tonight I had more deaths than the entire rest of the league combined

This means I've had smooth sailing up until this map.

Nope, not res capped, but I never needed to be at this level in low maps before.

This means I've been to this tier of map before. Many times, actually, and I've never had this much difficulty. So yes, from my experience, missing 15% total resists is fine in T3 maps outside Nightmare (Also, my armor is higher in combat.)

I lied when I said I wouldn't argue people saying I suck. It's difficult to not argue when you see a strawman; stop trying to make it sound like I'm in there with 30% resists. Easy to mock someone when you change what they said.

In closing, there were some good take-aways here.

1. I got a tukohama's shield and am doing much better. I get 61-70% phys reduction in combat now.
2. I'm no longer running the museum map with my divine ire totems, because it seems like that map is the worst for Nightmare density.
3. I need to time Steel Skin for when entering in those areas (someone recommended molten shell, but they share a CD so I'll stay with mine.)
4. I'm just going to get my resists capped earlier than usual.

Thank you to everyone who gave advice, even those who threw jabs with them.
To those who made vague insults, I hope your skill in PoE makes you feel better about yourself in real life.

Later.

It's funny how every dude saying that op's build isn't good enough has his account and characters set as private.

4000hp, 71% 64% 75% -12% should be fine for a T3 white map I agree. These one-shots are crazy I agree.

Adding the fact that you could easily run this scourge thing with any necromancer build and with worse gear.

I think your problem is about your dps, you need to kill scourge mobs before they kill you. :D

In the Museum map, that is most likely what the problem was.

For the time being, I will probably avoid entering the Nightmare on that map, or try the totem taunting options available. I currently use 5% damage redirected to nearest totem, but the taunt may be better.

2k armor and no block.

also getting res overcap is huge since curse immunity flask remove - you have 64%cold res and imagine -cold res curse on you - oneshot.

also get granite flask, jade helps too esp in low tier maps.

"I never needed it in the past!"
You never ran those maps with 100-150% MORE DAMAGE TAKEN.
