Base chaos resistance is below -30% (Approximately ~-50%)

I for the life of me could not understand why my character has lower than minus 50 chaos resistance when Kitava's curse should be exactly -30% to all resistances when my character is defeated.

Currently im lvl 83 elementalist, and this causes a lot of problems in my build, despite I try my best prioritizing chaos resistance mods in items, it barely goes -7%, which means corrupted blood and other chaos damages almost instantly kills my character. What am I missing?

I might complain but this is ridiculous. So the only option is to manage chaos resistance modifiers in your gear?

It's not that hard. You can get an item with a pure chaos res modifier + an open suffix and then craft a hybrid elemental + chaos res. One item can give you 35 + 15 chaos res that way.

As an aside corrupted blood is a physical DoT and not chaos.

Amethyst rings are your friend as well unless your build desperately needs ring mods for something else.

After glancing at your build there is quite a lot going wrong. Not sure how much help you want with the build in general.

I am trying to follow this guide but because of budget issues, I had to cut some corners..

Thats a lot of cut corners.

But the most glaring thing I see is you bought arcanist brand dragonfang. Not arc
