Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Fire 37%/75% below current cap.
The further elemental resistances are below the current cap, the more dangerous hard map and boss hits become.
Movement speed
128% is below the usual 131%–167% range for similar builds.
Lower speed usually means slower map clear, worse repositioning, and less room to dodge boss mechanics.
Elemental max hit
11.6K is a little below the typical 13.6K 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.
