Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Cold 57%/75% below current cap.
The further elemental resistances are below 75%, the more dangerous normal map hits become.
Effective hit pool
10.4K is below the usual 12.7K–34.1K range for similar builds. Raise life, energy shield, or ward on armour and jewellery before chasing smaller upgrades.
This usually means large hits are the danger point, even if clearing trash feels fine.
Elemental max hit
11.5K is a little below the usual 9.5K–17.5K range for similar builds. Improve the relevant elemental hit layers: life, energy shield, ward, block, or maximum elemental resistance where it applies.
This usually means large hits are the danger point, even if clearing trash feels fine.
