I'm pretty sure I've had enough...

Helping someone brings little internet glory. Proving someone wrong though, glory and fame!

Spoiler
Helping someone should always bring greater glory than being right, but that's not how the internet works unfortunately. Until that dynamic shifts, posts like this will always get more help through the pettiness of others.
Thanks for all the fish!

My man you're an altoholic.

If I may give you one piece of advice, it would be to pick one character build and plan on playing it to at least level 95, then ask yourself what you want from your character: zoom farm (white) maps, bossing, a specific league mechanic, allrounder (with all the implied caveats).

After that just pick a tried and true build and stick to it. The mechanics are your bitch, not the other way around. You do your homework, prepare for that boss that's kicking your ass, use specialised flasks, get immunities, kill them before they degen you.

Your time is important king, even your game time, you can't go around running a lvl 91 char with ssf gear using the six portal strategy and then whine that it's too hard.


Yes, I am an altoholic, but reason for that is. I keep running in to walls where I feel I can't progress and yes, I've watched a ton of builds, read things....etc etc...I guess I'm just frustrated atm because I don't know what kills me or how I die. The one shots are doing me in. I have over 12k hrs playing this game, I may not not everything but I do enjoy playing. But the path GGG is taking is making it frustrating on staying focused.

Yo he actually opened his char now I can't bully him cause you know I feel he actually wants to know why or what is killing him and that's call in one picture

I'll assume this is his main char right here



Zero physical mit
LR is not capped for some unknown reason
Low Chaos resist with 3k hp

He doesn't have the damage to make up for the defenses being so weak so we got red flags all over already,

If something blows on him or even a fucking tumbleweed hits him he just dies

So OP you need to learn the defenses layer after layer read a youtube guide fix that stuff that is why you're soft-lime glass as I said the softest of the glass without any damage.


That's not my main character. My main is a RF build that I followed. I thought he had decent stats but he is even getting one shot and I don't know how. So that's why I fiddle around with other builds trying to figure them out. Thanks for the feedback.

If the swimmer drowns it's the swimsuits fault, that's common sense. What are you even talking about?


@OP Fix your lightning res, try getting at least positive chaos res, cap your spell suppression and also see if you can get a bit more evasion, 70-80% is pretty easy to get normally. Aiming for 4k life would also help. All that said, you do play Deadeye, that's one of the squishiest classes there is. Don't expect wonders in survivability...

Being a bit more picky about what map mods you run can also go a long way. Monster damage is balanced around unrolled maps i.e no damage mods. The moment you start adding damage mods things get out of hand pretty quickly.



That's not my main character, my main is a RF build. I was playing him last night and was getting one shot/degen...I always look at the mods that are on a map and mostly know which ones I can and cannot do. Is it that I'm just that unlucky or what because I thought I had geared him decently and the resist were almost up to par....maybe I'm wrong and looking at it different. Dunno, just felt very frustrated last night and was at my wits end.
RF is better when you're a jugg. you will lose some damage but you will be so much tankier.

nvm, you have a jugg as well. i was looking at your inq RF

Took a look at your RF jugg, looks "ok" to me, positive chaos res, 80+ ele res 40k armor should be fine for red maps without dying too much. Maybe you really had a bad day yesterday and or underestimated the effect some map mods can have/picked the wrong altars who knows.
That said, when i say "ok" i really mean "ok" not great, there is still a lot of room for improvement on the defensive end.
80 res is a good start but if you wanna feel tanky it will take more than that. 40k armor is also still on the low end for a Juggernaut and uncapped chaos res is well, uncapped chaos res.

I don't know how your finances look like but you REALLY want a Brass Dome on the build. The extra max res and high armor would do wonders for your survival.

The other thing i think is lacking is recovery. You have roughly 900 net life regen, for this games standards, that's quite low. It's not uncommon to take 4-5k damage per second from a bunch on mobs during mapping. With just 900 regen to counteract it your life will drain in a flash, before you can even think about using your life flask.
If i were you i would go for an Aegis Aurora setup with Tempest Shield, Sanctuary cluster and Glancing Blows. Would give you 75/62 block for 7 passive points and every time you block you recover ES based on your armor which will help tremendously in keeping your HP up if there is a lot of small hits incoming. Might want to get some more Energy Shield from other gear pieces if you go that route.

An alternative you could try instead of Brass Dome is a combination of Fourth Vow (unique armor) with the Divine Flesh keystone (Glorious Vanity legion jewel). Fourth Vow allows your armor to apply to chaos damage at 100% value and Divine Flesh converts half the elemental damage you take to chaos damage. Since armor applies to each element individually and is more effective against small hit's splitting a big hit up into 2 smaller hits via damage conversion makes your armor mitigation much more effective. Fourth Vow also brings a lot of base ES to the table making it work better with Aegis Aurora and it also has some chaos res helping you cap that.

Thank you for the advice and feedback, much appreciated.

This statement would be true if there wouldn't be thousands of HC char deaths in split second that are recorded so far, but there are.

I really have to agree, some people just need some nudge in the right direction, but complain and quit before asking for advice, which for how obnoxious PoE community is in some aspects, it does try to help new players as best as it can.

It also nails in the head all the issues that i've been repeating ad nauseam in which there's zero actual support for new players, and we end up with these threads of frustration.

Basically all the gear in your jugg could be upgraded with a few hundred chaos doing white/yellows. However, i'd highly suggest on watching a few videos on how to craft basic gear/basic farming strategies. There's a lot of basic stuff that you would benefit greatly from that, it seems, you don't know. You can also ask here, or even in global chat, and i guarantee someone will help you.

Yeah, that's the biggest irony of the "make a better character" argument. There's plenty of genuine one shots caused by perfect storms that are way too often and cannnot be accounted for. Namely: the two times i died in Simulacrum from 98 to 100 were from disconnects.
