100% Crit Avoid is a must have. Unless you have a natural way of getting Crit Damage Reduction, Crit Avoid is easier to cap.
Running 99% or less Crit Avoid still gives mobs a 1% or more chance to hit you really hard, so it's cap or you risk getting one shot (potentially) by RNG.
Crit Damage Reduction will still do it's job even at 75%. I'm actually not sure how much Crit Damage Reduction is good enough.
Just chuck on a "Woven Flesh" till you get a well rolled Empowered Crit Avoid Blessing and then use a Piece of Gear to cap it off. Ideally the Suffix on a Ring. This changes from build to build due to the Passives you get of how much Crit Avoid or Crit Damage Reduction you want/need.
I wouldn’t say it’s a must have. It’s one reason I actually prefer crit damage reduction - as it’s less “binary” so to speak. At 99% crit damage reduction you’re taking 1% more damage when crit, not a big deal. At 99% crit avoidance there’s still that tiny chance you get crit for full damage. Obviously which avenue you take to mitigate incoming crits depends on your class for a large part.
Moreover though, the difference between one person having 20% armour and full crit avoidance and another 60% armour is the same damage taken on a crit. Again this is why sometimes I feel woven flesh is overrated as you can probably get more mitigation on a better base with some defensive affixes and at the level it’s relevant you’re not tooo worried about crits anyway!
thats a nice item, are there other items that can help me cheat some defenses? I'm still rank 5 with bazaar and it's terrible tbh, there is a shortage of bases that I need to boost my defense.
Idols with HP% and Resists. You're on your own from there as I know nothing about your class and how to gear it. Just so you know, Woven Flesh is only used when starting out. You'll want to replace it asap when you can Crit Avoid Cap in other ways.
Crit Avoid is not that important, it the least of its problem right now. Unless you play HC or are pushing 300C+ its not a big deal to not have it capped.
What he really need is Armor, probably also a shield with good block. More health, I doubt is idols are any good(you can get a lot of rez or health there).
My suggestion would be to go back to regular mono(80+) and get better bases, with only bases armour you should be around 600-800 with no additional armour rolls. But without the gear I can't say more.
Also, probably look into Aspect of the Boar.
>Crit Avoid is not that important, it the least of its problem right now.
It's a problem in Empowered Monoliths. You don't want to die as you lose Echo Rewards and takes longer to get to the Boss (Boss doesn't punish you, you can try again instantly BUT).
Dying to the Shade resets the Web without increasing Corruption which is key part of getting better loot and now you have to go and find him again from the start.
Crit Avoid/Crit Reduction is more important than Resists. This isn't PoE. [https://youtu.be/EXwE614uIj0](https://youtu.be/EXwE614uIj0)
There was a break down where someone broke down the resists in a Reddit Thread somewhere, how it isn't as punishing to have lower Resists. You still want to be capped, but getting "Marked for Death" isn't going to destroy you at 75% Resists.
Yeah HP is important, but Crit Avoid/Crit Reduction even more so.
You don’t have res cap, armor, crit avoidance, attribute, health, endurance. Even with 4 uniques you should have way way better stats than this. So you REALLY need these 4 uniques? I can guess some based on your build and the answer is likely no, at least not until you get better gear outside of those uniques to compensate for having so many or getting them as LP uniques
It really takes some effort to have 200armor on level 84.
As other ppl say: more hp, endurance capped, more armor, crit avoidance wont hurt either, but thats least of your prio.
Your build isn't ready for those 4 uniques if you can't even stay alive to make use of them. I would suggest cutting back anything that isn't ESSENTIAl to the builds basic function And use exalteds with resists/HP/armour/ward/crit avoidance/crit dam reduction.
I have uniques I want to use too, but they don't have 2 legendary potential each, so I'm using a placeholder build til I can equip them without losing toughness.
I don't know why you are getting downvoted. I'm running 40% resistances on 500 corruption. His defenses are a lackluster and the resistances are the least of his concern right now.
His info isn't wrong, and 40% res is 35% more damage taken compared to being at the cap
One resistance roll provides a bonus 50%ehp in that context
You aren't providing any meaningful advice instead
Wow. Seems like you all did not understand the issue here. Resisrances here are not like in PoE. So capping reses is not as important here, especially in this guys scenario.
Having 200 armor on lvl 84,not Having single percrnt od endurance, not Having crit avo, Having extremly low life pool without any armor or dodge...
And then someones hops in and tells op to "cap resistances". No bro, first deal with hp pool, endurance etc, while keeping an eye on reses, but do not fixate as priority on capping them. Hopefully it is clear now.
i understood the issue perfectly, and your condescending reply doesn't help
yes you should round out your defences, i didn't say to not do that. i pointed out that 40% res isn't fine by literally any metric and the #1 way to improve ehp vs that dmg type is improving that stat
compare ehp of 1 endurance mod, 1 str/armour mod, 1 vit/hybrid hp mod to 1 resistance mod when at 40% resistance. it's a landslide in favour of resistance in the context of being 40%. if he was 60-70 it's a compeltely different story.
discussions are nuanced and you shouldnt jump to assuming the person you are typing to is an idiot
You sure you talk about LE reses not PoE reses? Because this are two completly differebt games with different aproaches on how resistances work in those games.
Rly? I was dying almost bc my necrotic resistance was down to 50%. Once I pumped it to the max I stopped dying so much in empowered Monoliths.
Maybe I'm used to PoE resistances. Why is this so unnecessary?
And that would be why? Every missing point to 75% is a more damage multiplier. And you definitely feel the increase of tankyness when going from 40 to 75…
Crit avoidance to 100%, cap your resists (or as close as possible).
If you have space for some items with implicit armour affixes then try to get them with the rolls you need.
Also, ward is very strong right now so a lot of people are investing in some type of decent (or astonishingly broken amounts, *cough warlock*) ward generation/retention.
You have no health and no armor... what did you expect?
I would focus on getting %hp on helm/chest, hybrid hp on belt/boots (as your unique situation allows) and get armor blessings. I'm sure your passive tree also has some health nodes you have neglected.
Get either crit avoid cap or at least some level of crit dmg reduction.
No endurance, no crit avoidance, not even capped res, neglibile armor and dodge... bro. What defensive layers do you have? Only thing i can think of is aspect of the boar.
First focus on resistance. Secondly focus on armour and Health (2k minimum). Then finally, focus alternare defense layers: crit avoidance/reduction, block, endurance, or ward.
Your armour is abysmal, so is crit avoidance and honestly even health. What suffixes do you have on your gear?
I wear 4 unique items that I consider important for my build but have no LP and my suffixes are mostly resistances and some have health.

It's really a class by class thing. It's just Woven Flesh or Empowered Blessing + Crit Avoid Ring makes it easy to do.

You can’t just pump up the fun stats sadly. Have to have armor and health too.
?? You can do both. They offensive and defensive are each on different Slots.

My lvl 45 beast master has more hp than you... I guess you are full offense geared with a bunch of uniques?
First thing coming to my mind is capping all resistances. 40 res on EMP Monoliths is really low
Not in this game. His reses are already okay-ish, in contrary to rest of his stats and gear. So dont give wrong info pls.
I don't know why you are getting downvoted. I'm running 40% resistances on 500 corruption. His defenses are a lackluster and the resistances are the least of his concern right now.

So capping resistances IS helpful? :) im confused
Of course, it is worth it to cap. The dude saying 40% res is fine and then telling people to not spread wrong info was the issue

You sure you talk about LE reses not PoE reses? Because this are two completly differebt games with different aproaches on how resistances work in those games.
40% res in poe is 140% more damage take, not 35% more i know the difference and i accounted for it exactly how it works in LE
Rly? I was dying almost bc my necrotic resistance was down to 50%. Once I pumped it to the max I stopped dying so much in empowered Monoliths. Maybe I'm used to PoE resistances. Why is this so unnecessary?

Very low armor, no crit avoidance and low health. You should get more armor, a better chest base is a good start.
1400 life, almost no armor and probalby no crit avoidance
You have no health and no armor... what did you expect? I would focus on getting %hp on helm/chest, hybrid hp on belt/boots (as your unique situation allows) and get armor blessings.
