life leech is the best way to survive in any game that has it. healing yourself based on the damage you do is always clutch. you get it CI or not.

Not taking damage is the best way to survive in any game where taking damage leads to death.

So you become immune to chaos damage... but become insanely vulnerable to stun, freeze, and shock.

You can't just look at the upside of things.

You are no more vulnerable to status effects.
It is the not raising HP, rather than taking CI which does this.

I think the negative effects of CI are greatly undone by the positive effects of having both a life pool and a ES pool.


I always opt for HP + ES.

shavronne's allows you to do this without fearing chaos damage leak. it's pretty ridiculous.

Oh, definitely. I've been considering picking one up because even with my paltry value of 2700 energy shield. Energy shield isn't my primary defense (rather just a bonus on top of my armor), but I certainly notice the impact of chaos by-passing it, and don't have much of an idea for what I wish my chestplate to do :P

If you're running chaos innoculation, you are not grabbing life nodes. Nor are you running +HP affixes.

This means your maximum HP is lower than otherwise, and because status effects look at your maximum HP when deciding how long they last, this means you are extra vulnerable to chill, freeze, and shock.

Please learn the mechanics of the game before calling out other players on their own knoledge, because your posting clearly is not keeping them in mind.
