Identified gaps

Primary damage

18.1K is below the usual 20.2K–156K range for similar builds.

This usually means boss phases take too long or rares live long enough to pressure your defenses.

Chaos max hit

4.7K is below the usual 5.4K–13.6K range for similar builds. Add chaos resistance and a larger life or energy shield pool where possible.

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

Chaos resistance

0% is below the usual 16%–53% range for similar builds.

Resistance gaps are normally cheap to fix and should be handled before chasing damage.
