I thought I was ready to facetank the Searing Exarch's incinerate slam...

Currently building my tankiest character ever on Standard.

Here are just some of my permanent defenses:

- 17949 ES pool
- 20% less fire damage taken from ruby flask
(I have permaflask uptime from Scion's Pathfinder ascendancy)
- 10% reduced fire damage taken from legacy Wise Oak
- 76%(135%) fire resistance

Spoiler alert!!!...

The big one shots usually have penetration and had you touched one of his lava vents? I think they lower res

If I crunch it out you've got about 106k raw vs fire which is a pretty sizeable number but some of their boss "slams" really do so much damage it isn't that feasible to tank them. I know the Maven brain slams got pretty ridiculous numbers.

If you want to tank mechanics like this i'd look into Molten Shell first as that gives the easiest ablative to springboard your survivability.

a 6k life 10k molten shell 90 fire res char for example has 160k for less investment and you could substantially boost this up. Good luck if you try again lol i think i'll stick to dodging it :P

I would just move.

Deals 17029 to 25543 Fire Damage
voll slam damage +% final at centre [300]

Does that make it do 4x damage if you just stand and take it in the center?

25543 x 4 = 102172 fire damage

76% resist => 24521
20% less from ruby => 19617
10% reduced from Wise Oak => 17655

But I have 17949 ES, so I shouldn't have died as I didn't touch any lava pool...

it's pretty easy to dodge so the high damage is a good way to punish bad play

Try Transcendence (Militant Faith) + Loreweave + Fire -> Cold/Lightning talisman.

This is the exact opposite type of attack for transcendence though because you've converted an enormous hit into an enormous hit that armour applies to which is what armour is weakest against.

Generic maxres would have much more effect for no change in the build. Transcendence is for if you want to be borderline immune to elemental hits below a certain value

18k ES, the thing that people would go through to face tank bosses, incredible.

Spoiler

I died: one shot up from 17949 ES to zero with just one incinerate slam hit

So... more like gegrilde kip than soepkieken, eh?
