Improve elemental hit protection

fix

Upgrade defensive slots with armour, energy shield, evasion, and life so the item matches how this build actually survives.

Justification

9.6K is below the usual 9.8K–17.8K range for similar builds. Improve the relevant elemental hit layers: life, energy shield, ward, block, or maximum elemental resistance where it applies.

Identified gaps

Elemental resistances

Lightning 70%/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

9.6K is below the usual 10K–18.2K range for similar builds. Improve life, energy shield, ward, block, and maximum fire resistance for larger elemental hits.

This usually means large hits are the danger point, even if clearing trash feels fine.

Chaos max hit

5.2K is below the usual 5.3K–13.7K range for similar builds. Improve chaos resistance, life, energy shield, ward, and maximum chaos resistance where possible.

This usually means large hits are the danger point, even if clearing trash feels fine.

Already in good shape
