I'm running with this build, Hardcore, and I must say I'm loving it... I've just hit lev50, only deviation Ive taken has been to pick up Sentinel near the Scion area for extra armour and resistance. Not sure why you didn't grab that one.

I have a question though, in the example equipment as well as gear posted by others I notice that there is an extreme lack of Chaos resistance. This is the only thing that gets me nervous at the moment. A group of 5-6 Vipers in the Wetlands (Cruel) will knock my health to half (around 1800 max) in the blink of an eye. My current Chaos resistance is only about 10% (better than -20%........), all other resistances are at 77%.

Is there something I'm missing? Or is this the kryptonite to this build? I'm at a point where I'm only looking for Chaos res on any gear I get moreso than any other stat at the moment.

Working towards Path of the Warrior.

... yes, I am well and truly over-levelled, poison still knocks the crap out of me so I retreat back into my comfort zone.

Cheers =) I'll try and get more HP gear, see how that goes. Voidhome was real cheap (for obvious reasons) and doubles my pDPS, for those special moments when extra damage is required. I'll wail on a guy (or gal) then swap to my alternate weapon for the kill.

Seems +HP is more important than Resist....
