Hey Everyone!
If anyone has some time, could I get some advice on increasing tankiness? For the most part I'm pretty stable, but I still get randomly 1 tapped in t17s and I'm unsure why. Especially by that yellow laser grid. Res is all 100ish, +35 chaos res. I have ~70 divines atm to spend. |

It would be helpful if you would post your PoB so we have some idea of where you are in leveling and gearing for what upgrades we should suggest. However one often overlooked option is swapping to two clusters and getting critical immunity via chest corruption + IE glancing for sanctuary, sanctum of thought and resourceful + some crit reduction tats, it does however demand a lot of skill points and is likely not worth going for if you are below level 95.
edit: looking at your character on the website, your wand is pretty bad, I would recommend buying a fractured hybrid mana profane wand and hitting it with spell damage essence until it rolls t1 mana and either an open suffix to let you metacraft reroll for decent suffixes or at least one decent suffix. Once you've got that you should look into investing in the haunted enchant, its significantly cheaper now than it used to be because power and time runes crashed about a month ago, its still probably 40ish divs though.

" Without posting your POB and just basing off on website, can't do much. But in addition to what Carbot said, I'd replace 2 and reroll 2 of your flasks for "increasing tankiness". -Quicksilver Flask to Granite Flask for more armor. Always aim for 70% Increased Effect, Enkindling Orbs are super cheap -- no reason not to. -Amethyst Flask with better Increased Effect and Bog Moss suffix instead of Plume Moss(the current one is only giving you 92.16% Shock Avoidance. Aim for >=100% for real immunity -Reroll the Increased Effect of your Silver flask to >=68% because 67% is only giving you 99% curse effect reduction. Aim for >=100% for real immunity -Not related to tankiness but reroll the Increased Effect of your Diamond flask to 70% to maximize crit chance gained |

" I imported his character into POB (no config is set but still can give a rough idea) https://pobb.in/OsNFY3GIJ6jj On top of the good advice you guys already gave, his biggest issues are block chance and chaos res. He can fix the block chance by replacing the Bottled Faith with Rumi's. For the chaos res he needs to fix his gear. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge#5265 on Dec 5, 2024, 3:39:34 PM

" Editted. sorry, original post was not very helpful. This hurts me. As others have said, fix your flask. Also, quality your skill gems and jewelry. These are low hanging fruits that can be fixed for a handful of chaos... The mana on your wand is pretty bad, in a variant of the build that hurts for mana. I would do as last reviwer suggested and work on crafting a better wand when you have the time/resouces. I know a new wand doesnt sound like a tanky upgrade, but never under estimate the defense of clearing the screen faster. Tips: -Spell damage + Mana is objectively good for this build. High rolls on both should be top priority. -Cast speed, Spell Crit Chance, Crit Multi are all good based on your build variant and current weakest point. -Double Damage while focusedis an amazing end-game stat to have, or just flat DD if not willing to hit the button/time cooldown. -Added Lighting Damage to Spells, Mana Regen, Intel are all sub-optimal, but if you have to settle due to budget/availability/bad luck, decent compromises. -+1 level to any gem is pretty bad -Attack Speed, and any added elemental flat damage not for spells are useless. -Projectile Speed is negative synergy, avoid at all cost “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Last edited by Piousqd#0073 on Dec 6, 2024, 10:24:51 AM

Been experimenting with removing More Duration support from Arcane cloak, having added Elemental Weakness to Anarchist Brand (4-link curse, 3-link cloak)
Anyone tried this or have opinions. In PoB its a ~20% damage increase, but that's misleading. It doesn't feel bad, but the reduced up time on arcane cloak (~33% loss) is obv a dps loss, and doesnt reflect in pob. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

I've been running a 4 link arcanist set up with manual cloak all league because I prefer having it up when I need it over more uptime on bonus damage when everything short of a super juiced t17 dies or phases immediately already and I find that running weakness in brand and enfeeble in helm is quite nice. I don't need the bonus damage from ele weakness while mapping, even 9 mod t17 rares die in short order and enfeeble helps reduce the number of random oneshots that happen when I start grabbing eater altars.

" Nice. Manual sounds like a step too far for me tho. Already have 3 cooldowns + brand to hit for bosses/super tanky mobs, dont need a 5th. Agree than enfeeble is best in helm, Ive been running enfeeble in helm most of the league. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
