How to beat a damn Simulacrum ?

Come on, people. We are using elements to deal damage. If you cant damn shock mobs or freeze them this cant be done at all.

Its not about my character defelection or defenses . The game has no sense of balance.

Oh sure you've got elemental damage. Freeze and electrocute are useful defensive tools, but only work if you get time to apply them. Which you might have noticed gets harder as enemies get tougher.

And that's where your defences come in. Which in your case are real low. The result: a bad guy sneezes on you and you explode.

So it is absolutely about defences. Which is part of the game balance to prevent you from building a glass cannon. Funny, that.

Well if u wanna freeze or shock them, then u have to invest into that aswell.

As of the screenshot u posted, u got almost no cold damage, so freeze goes out the window.
For Shock, u have an estimated shock chance of 3-21%. That's probably an estimate of an average white mob, so a magic or rare monster with delirium has a way lower chance. I'm not 100% certain how the chance in PoE2 works, but I'd assume with that low of a chance u didn't really invest into "chance to shock" in the passive tree.

That's all assumptions of course, but it leads me to believe that ur build got checked and it failed.
So either improve ur offense, so that u one shot every enemy, or improve ur defense, so u don't get one shot urself.

Just for comparisons sake, those are the defenses I did the first Simulacrum with. I probably can do 2nd and maybe 3rd difficulty aswell, but don't have enough splinters atm.

I'm the same level as you and deal far less damage, but I have 11k more Armour (9k elemental), 7k more Evasion, 50% more Chaos Res, over 4k more Ailment Threshold, and immunity to Bleeds & Shock. I have to assume your Stun Threshold is equally anemic given the rest of your stats - I'm at ~5k which makes me almost immune to stuns.

I posted a video for you where you can see at least three hits I take that bring me below 10% health - all of which would have killed me on the spot without my defensive stats.

Like I get it man it's frustrating and you might have a lot of farming ahead of you if you don't have a few divines lying around to fix your set but if you want to progress in the content that's what you're going to have to do -- or just stick your fingers in your ears and blame the developers and go be grumpy about it I guess.

So basically, you are playing hardcore ? Why all these crazy stacks of defences? How do you even enjoy spending an hour in one map ?

Even if you keep progressing this way and let's say I agree with you and I put more defense . Are we going to be able to do the juicy contents ? Probably you will die on the spot because you lack the damage.

The game is challenging to fit everything in your gear but it's just impossible with all this RNG everywhere.

You have invested too much in lightning and fire resistance. Try capping it at 75-80.

You lack chaos resistance, cap it at 75

You lack evasion, you need at least 60 %

You need stun and freeze protection in that area because those occurs a lot.

Its 100% about your characters defenses.

You have 1500 life, 0 es. Which is a very low effective health pool for a pure evasion build.

Ontop of that you only have 34% evasion which is also incredibly low for a pure evasion build.

So you have a very low chance to evade and when you dont evade (which apperently will happen often) your life pool is the same size as someone doing the campaign except your trying to do an endgame boss. Ontop of that you also only have 22% chaos resistance so if your unlucky and you get any chaos mods your just dead.

Confused how you got to 91 with such low defenses? Does you gear just have no affixes?

The short summary would be that your gear is just far far below where it should be for your level.

You need to either change your main armour pieces with new ones that have much higher evasion and also +life on them. Or you have to change to evasion/es hybrid pieces so you can buff up your effective health.

The second option is probably cheaper since you only need a few decent pieces and maybe respec your passive tree to include some es nodes and suddenly instead of 1500life your at 1500life + 2k es.

ok Regarding the Evasion with my character once it start using the deadeye asc it rise up to 61% so the evasion I see it fine . It can be better which I can work on.

Regarding deflection it also raise by the evasion increase.

Regarding the high amount of resistance its a reflection of a mirror tier ring with 3 damage modifiers and 3 resistance modifiers, breach ring. So, regarding the resistance dropping, that will not make any sense.

120k dps can paper over a lot of underinvestment in defense.

How hard is it to beat a damn Simulacrum 50 splinters?

Have never tried a Simulacrum before, not even in poe1, but tried it yesterday as Arc. It was insane. Managed to get through in the end, but died around 40 times. Amusingly, the bosses were mostly okay, but when 30-40 enemies with gigantic AoE and various effects camp out over the spawn point, I can't get off 1 spell or one dodge roll without being dead before I come out of the roll.

I've no idea at all how this is supposed to be possible without infinite respawns on higher difficulties.

Enemies are 10 times faster than us, they all attack in a simultaneous horde, and as a caster I get completely destroyed. Even with 7000-ish Energy Shield.

But ofc, some streamer with 20 million dps will complain it's too easy, so let's make it harder still.
