I finally decided that I hate energy shield and love chaos damage.

Hi guys, I'm still alive. I reached level 60.

I answered my own question:
How to maximize chaos damage in poe2 without crit damage? without Hexblast
answer: withered

we have passive talent Wuther away that gives 40% increased effect of withered
and jewelers that can gives 15% increased effect of withered. We can insert 5 such gems in our build.
total 115% increased effect of withered. I think it's not bad.
it work with the support skill Withering touch

I absolutely adore the build I created. I hope I'll live to at least level 80 =)

Fun ... I always loved the idea of ED/Contagion and Chaos ... just atmospherically. And I found this mechanic of soemething, that spreads around and even around corners really fun, so different from all the direct attack stuff. I hope it turns out o be T15+ viable or somesuch without too much stress, as I'd like to test something like it.

if I don't find a way to deal more damage to rares and bosses, I think even T10 will be hard =)
Hello everyone, I'm still alive. 80 lvl

So there are a few nuances in my opinion about the war of chaos:

1) we can't take 115% increased effect of withered, max ceiling on skill 100% withered so we only need 4 jewel sockets in the talent tree.

2) body armor The Brass Dome mandatory for this build and not simple but with -2% to all maximum elemental resistances.

3) because of the armor we need a shield with +2% to all maximum elemental resistances.

4) I gave up the buff Time of Need I have no spirit

my shield and armor:

Died. oneshot from boss t8 map, without any damage modifiers.

I had 2785hp, 15304 armour (82% reduction).
when i died i had full hp. It wasn't crit damage (The Brass Dome), pure physical damage from the 73 lvl boss.


Question, do I understand correctly that if I have 2700 HP and 82% reduction in physical damage, then how is damage reduction calculated?

RIP

Looks like a fun build. Sucks that you got caught by an unbalanced boss.

Do you plan to try again with this build?

I do, but that was the whole point of the build, not afraid of physical damage at all, lots of armor, high shield block percentage. And since there is a chance to get a oneshot, the build doesn't make sense. Chaos damage is good. But since we invest in intellect, we can't have a lot of HP. And the only option is armor, but it's broken.

If you're interested, I died from the boss - mighty silverfist.
can I have a full list of broken bosses?)
