Priority fixes
2
Improve elemental hit protection
fixUpgrade defensive slots with energy shield, evasion, cold resistance, and fire resistance so the item matches how this build actually survives.
Justification
12.7K is a little below the usual 9.2K–17.9K range for similar builds. Improve the relevant elemental hit layers: life, energy shield, ward, block, or maximum elemental resistance where it applies.
Useful stats
Relevant stats for this issue
Prioritize this direction before chasing smaller damage gains.
3
Improve movement speed
fixStart with boots that have movement speed, then recheck clear feel after the character moves faster.
Justification
135% is a little below the usual 130%–166% range for similar builds.
Useful stats
Relevant stats for this issue
Prioritize this direction if mapping feels slow or repositioning feels clunky.
Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Fire 60%/75% below current cap.
The further elemental resistances are below the current cap, the more dangerous hard map and boss hits become.
Elemental max hit
12.7K is a little below the typical 13.7K reference for similar builds. Improve energy shield, ward, block, maximum fire resistance, and maximum cold resistance for larger elemental hits.
This usually means large hits are the danger point, even if clearing trash feels fine.
Movement speed
135% is a little below the typical 140% reference for similar builds.
Lower speed usually means slower map clear, worse repositioning, and less room to dodge boss mechanics.
