I don't understand how I'm suppose to play maps

It doesn't matter. The game is trash now. You have white mobs capable of 1 shotting you with 8k ehp and capped resists. I have 75/75/75 and 8k ehp with 60 chaos res and still get 1 2 shot by projectile mobs shooting ice or the ones that come in packs and all fire 20 projectiles a pc.

playing with a party and spectating people with over 10k ES and watching them get destroyed by abyss mobs. Some of which you cant even hit with some of the new skills like oil barrage. (goes through some of them and aoe doesn't hit if shot next to them)

You have the wonderful mechanic of being a melee player where the 1.5 seconds it takes you to stop and throw an attack results in the back 20 mobs firing 800 projectiles into you instantly. (guess you have to be evasion for those, oops, too bad didn't go evasion)

I have a list of about 100 problems with this game currently but at the end of the day if you aren't playing some stupid 300 div, spark or arrow build it's just almost impossible to have any string of success at endgame.

Do you have Path of Building? Then share your PoB

On this page, you can also share your build. Then we can have a look what is maybe the issue.

8k EHP is not enough in juiced endgame...you need to work on your build

I have no idea why they are going out of there way to tune every single map to have some extremely annoying drawback that makes the game burn you out so much faster unless you're abusing the temple tech and blasting 100+ divine builds. I get making things challenging but my god the random one affix you don't want to deal with on your waystone being able to completely and utterly destroy your build is so ludicrous. The life regen reduction is too damn high, constantly having to dodge temporal chains and elemental weakness 24/7 is no damn fun, having to constantly dodge volatile plants and molten craigs 24/7 combined with ground explosions is no damn fun. I don't get why they take this beautiful game with so much potential and just DROWN out all the potential to realize that fun by making the tuning so unforgivingly brutal 24/7. I feel like every league now I have these characters that can clear 99% of the content but just WHAM one random hit and I'm dead it's so anti-climactic. It literally strips all of the dopamine from my body that I've generated for the entire day and it's such a terrible feeling it makes me not want to play this game anymore after it happens. And it happens...often....way too damn often for a video game. The intent is fun, they've severly missed the mark, and for the love of Christ will someone address the economy.

0% Chaos Resistance is crazy, you need to fix that.

I'm not entirely sure if Oracle is good for a Wolf build. I tried it for a Bear build and frankly, it was kinda crap compared to Shaman. You miss out on a lot of good stuff from bonded runes, like +120% free damage from a 3 socket scepter, +1 to all attack skills from Rune of the Hunt (alongside +50% damage to rares / unique enemies), +10% resists from Rune of Memory (alongside +2% XP) etc.

You also miss out on some pretty strong elemental defense from Reactive Growth as well, and the insane QoL that is free regen on Rage (which you won't be able to keep with Eternal Rage once you get Lord of the Wilds. The spirit cost is just insane).

Life leech is not instant, and if you are taking a lot of damage, the enemy will likely outpace your leeching capacity - especially with just one life leech mod.

You need some other layer of defense, because right now you have no significant armor, no ES, no Evasion, no Mind Over Matter, and no notable defensive item like Defiance of Fate, por example.

Try and get a medium Controlled Metamorphosis and use it to get Vengeful Fury, Prism Guard, Projectile Bulwark and In Your Face without the surrounding nodes.

A very cheap annoint I recommend is Tempered Defences. I'm using it until I can get "Spiral Into Insanity".

That is all fair suggestions. Thanks for looking at it and offering a direction for me. I will work on adjusting the build :)
