This is really getting frustrating...

He stated his actual life value tho, which is 6.5k.

So, laughable or not, according to your expertise?

excuse me?

I asked if his total life is laughable or not. But nevermind, let me redo the calculation for the case where I'd have +800 max life from my gear.

Let's consider that we both have the character level 93.

Witch
57 + 92 * 12 (life gained per level) + 19 * 5 (STR bonus) + 800 (gear) = 2056.
2056 * 2.7 (increase bonus) = 5551.

Duelist
62 + 92 * 12 (life gained per level) + 31 * 5 (STR bonus) + 800 (gear) = 2121.
2121 * 2.25 = 4772.

So, I'm pretty close (85% of his life). It's less, which means that he has better survival when it comes to flat life, but he most certainly might be inferior at other defences or damage, because he invested more in life, in the passive tree. If his life isn't laughable, then mine isn't either, so the fact that survivability in this game is equal to a russian roulette proves only that the game is over the edge with the difficulty. There's no problem with my build, as you constantly claim. There's at most some lack of exquisite gear. Want to do the calculation for the total damage now? I'll leave you do it this time, since you're way more experienced and superior at this game than I'll ever be. Let me know if you decide to do it, so I can verify it and reach a conclusion here too.

I'm sorry, but I'm not here to do any calculations for u. I already gave u tips on how to get that stuff in another thread. Have a good one.

you do have lots to learn. POE is a game of multipliers. if in a calculation with 10 factors, you reduce ALL factors by 25%, the compounding effect is far greater than 25%

EHP is a viable metric to judge statistical character staying power. ofc there are outliers but your character is so simple that they dont apply (where they do apply is mostly EHP gained from 'recover on block' and particular scenarios like bosses with heavy skew on particular damage type/mechanic etc - but you can configure that in POB)
you character actually made it to 93 this time thanks to obscene EHP lucky-lucky-block provides on gladiator.

no matter what you say, your character at lvl 93 has a power of late-campaign character of someone who actually knows stuff. my current character soon to be level 43 undescended templar shares your DPS.

so you can continue with 'you are all wrong' as you please or actually take a step back and notice that people in general do not share your issues and observations and maybe, just maybe it is them who are right?

wanna learn something - check your phys max hit in POB and tell us how having ~2000 armour total at lvl 93 plays out. oh you die all the time? weird, because I dont. but i have 55000 armour. oopsie. it is not roulette, it is lack of understanding how damage and defences work in this game. people get to 100 in HC, kill all uber bosses etc - ergo it is not a roulette (getting to 100 takes around 80 times more xp than getting to 93, plenty of occasions to die to roulette - yet they dont)

Good, then I'll have to remember that people like you are here only to spread unsubstantiated claims meant to minimize others, so that I won't be bothered by them again.

Excuse me, is this the (approximated) calculation that I was waiting for, in the case of both these characters? I doubt it. If it were worth my time and effort, I'd add it myself pretty quickly. But I have better things to do.

Sorry OP for filling up your thread. As you can see, these people follow and harass me everywhere I go on the forum. I even received a temporary ban for defending myself against harassment and useless ridicule. I'll try my best so it won't happen again on any of your posts.

Am I missing something obvious? Other than faster reflexes (which I really can't do anything about) is there something that makes these bosses with aoe action-speed lowering attacks manageable?

The best advice I can offer is to simply use the Scarab of Bisection and nullify prefixes. Chopping off all the bonus damage mods makes uber Uhtred a lot easier to deal with.

Other than that, you're probably better off not running that map at all. Ziggurat is a lot easier to deal with if you don't mind the 3 invulnerability phases.
