ES still the only viable defense

Can you post your skill tree and gear please?

ALso if you keep getting 1 shot during 6 mod maps...maybe don't run content your character cant do?

Brother is there any option to post your build/tree in this forum site or what? I'm telling you i'm running with 10056 armor rating = 74% phys damage reduction & 71% of the armor applied to elemental hits. 76 75 76 75 capped all res. And still getting one shotted by most of the abbysses in t15 - t16 6 moded maps.
And what the hell is that argument? "If you keep getting 1 shot during 6 mod maps.. maybe don't run content?" to hell with balance? then lets make it Path Of Pathfinder/Deadeye/Tactician ??
At the very least, if you give those clases clear / movement speed / single target damage, miles away from melee, AT THE VERY LEAST give melees a decent survavility instead of getting one shoted??
And yea, i know about charms, i wear ignition / poison charms otherwise you couldnt get a single step into a juicy abyss map as melee. Not that it matters any ways. Even with 3 flasks I die by some random dot

you can also screen shot it and link it so we can see. I am asking cause clearly something is wrong with your build mate and I wanna help you figure it out.

You can link your account with this site and publish your character on it: https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/ In top right corner there's the account icon. Or you can share a PoB build via that.

10k armor in T15 maps is quite little honestly. And it's almost only Shamans that actually do armor+es+life. There's for example a level 92 Shaman with 2.4k life, 4.7k ES, 17k armour, and they have Barkskin and they would get bonuses to armour when shapeshifted and they have 110% of armour applies to elemental hits - when not shapeshifted.

The armour equation is such that it's less effective vs large attacks. For example, if you have 10k armor, and are hit by 1000 physical damage, then you mitigate 50% of the incoming damage. If you are hit by 2250 physical damage, you mitigate 31% of the incoming damage.

Elemental damage from large hits is typically much higher than physical damage, and the armor mitigation is calculated first, before resistances. With 75% resistances, if you are hit by 4500 elemental damage, you take 1125 damage. If you have 75% resistances and 10k armor and 71% of it applies, then you take 972 damage. So the addition of the armour decreases the incoming damage by 15%.

Build issue then

sure lil bro. Enjoy the league. Imagine a Xmas league dying in less than 2 weeks xd. Build issue

I mean it is


You dont know what charms are.


You run a hybrid armour build and have low armour, or ES.


You die to poison as an armour character apparentely.


Yea, build issue, massive.


For reference on a budget hybrid armour/es build this is what I have. This is stupid budget as well.


And you say

How many points are you investing in defenses? To get to 20k ES you need to spend about 30 passives on ES nodes, ignoring travel nodes.

Are you spending the equivalent 30 points in, armour, block, evasion, recovery?

I use 23 passive points for Armour and Ele... ignoring travel nodes

SO i typically go 30%

for your Armour and ele go straight armor and make sure you gear has the "adds x% armor to elemental damage"

I ran early game without it and it makes a HUGE different.

Post your build on poeninja and share it. Together we can figure it out friend.

I would really love to see some statistics on differend defense types and how much they die in t1 and t15 maps in comparison

1 year has passed, hundreds if not thousands of feedback posts regarding this issue has been given

And still life builds running around with 3-4k life while ES builds run around with 20k ?

How is this fair or balanced?

Also with convalescence and the new djinn ascendancy ES has insanely strong ways to recover

CI makes you immune to chaos too

How are there no changes made to this?
Why is ES not nerfed and/or life buffed ?

Cause the game is balanced around ranged players lol

They will not change it dude just go play another game, sadly they dont take our feedback

Since 0.1 the game had little to none change or improvents

games junk
