Build setup

Fix these first. They are concrete conflicts in the current setup, not general build advice.

Non-Fire damage cannot apply

Doom Finger and Honour Knot invest in Cold, Lightning, or Chaos damage, but Avatar of Fire prevents dealing non-Fire damage. Focus that investment on Fire or generic damage instead.

This build spends Life instead of Mana. Mana and Mana regeneration should not drive its upgrade choices.

Identified gaps

Chaos resistance

9% is well below the usual 42%–50% range for similar builds.

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

Elemental resistances

Lightning 44%/65% below mapping target.

Bring elemental resistances closer to the mapping target before harder maps. The full cap matters most in endgame.

Chaos max hit

2.1K is well below the usual 5.3K–6.9K range for similar builds. Improve chaos resistance, life, and maximum chaos resistance where possible.

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

Elemental max hit

3.8K is well below the usual 7.6K–8.2K range for similar builds. Improve life, 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.

Secondary damage

1.6K is well below the usual 2.9K–10K range for similar builds.

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

Effective hit pool

4.7K is well below the usual 8.5K–14.3K range for similar builds. Raise life on armour and jewellery before chasing smaller upgrades.

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