Identified gaps

Chaos max hit

5.5K is below the usual 6.8K–18.9K range for similar builds. Improve chaos resistance, life, energy shield, and maximum chaos resistance where possible.

Effective hit pool

9.8K is below the usual 10.3K–22K range for similar builds. Raise maximum mana, mana regeneration, life, and energy shield on armour and jewellery before chasing smaller upgrades.

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

Physical max hit

5.2K is a little below the typical 6.4K reference for similar builds. Add armour, physical mitigation, block, life, and energy shield.

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