Hey y'all, trying to get a bit more defensive on this as I'm getting popped by T16s at the moment.

Where does all the ES come from? I'm at about 4k. I tried to reroll my chest a few times but I've been having terrible luck with it, and actually lost about 400ES from my latest tries.

The builds video "low budget" shows him at almost 9k ES, so I'm a bit stumped :|

I've got 2 Divs and I'm trying to figure out what my best "boost" would be going forward.

Your items are really low ES, especially your chest. I'm at 7400 ES at lv 91, and I've been using a chest with ~1400 evasion and ~300 ES since I hit maps. You can buy ones with ~1000 evasion/~200 ES and >50 Int for around 10c. That'll be a huge jump for you.

Keep in mind that this build really doesn't care about a 6L body armor, and even a 5L isn't crucial, especially at your level. Focus on the stats first, and you can even spec out of the nodes required for Whispers of Doom until you have more points to spend around. Put them into some ES nodes instead.

Getting large ES numbers comes from a lot of places; the gear is the biggest source, since everything else is modifying that number. Getting as much Int as possible is probably the next biggest contributor for this specific build, followed by having ES-increasing nodes.

Your body armour has pretty low ES/Evasion values, you should not have problems finding something with double those values at this point of the league. Should come with +1000es or something like that.

Gloves can have a lot more ES with being ES only gloves, not hybrid. You want evasion only on chest becaus of Escape Artist.

Your one split personality is int/evasion, getting int/ES should be another 400 or so ES, and getting the second split personality should be another 500es.


You are lvl83. At this point, you have (barely) enough passive points to get the split personality tree working. Well, you are still missing the 2nd jewel slot for another Split Personality. Getting few levels will help a lot. 2nd Split personality and the 2 jewel sockets around witch start area. Coldhearted Calculations and Deep Wisdom.

Thank you both!

I bought the Evasion Split Personality as the ES ones are going for 1 Div ATM and I wasn't sure if my 1 Div could be better used elsewhere.

I'll go look for a better chest for now until I can reroll this one into something worthy. Appreciate the feedback.

Immunity to ignite/chill/freeze/shock does not make you immune to fire/cold/lightning damage. And resistances capped you still take 25% of the damage. Also you don't really have reductions to physical damage.

So if enemy hits you hard enough, you will die.

Hard to really say without seeing map mods and your playstyle.

4kES is very low. Work on getting it to 6k and you should feel a lot more tanky.

Can someone tell me why it's only applying 1 curse (Punishment)? Is it just because of the socket color/order?

Have you allocated Whispers of Doom? You can't apply two curses if you haven't.

Indeed I have.
