Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Cold 5%/65%, Lightning 19%/65% below mapping target.
Bring elemental resistances closer to the mapping target before harder maps. The full cap matters most in endgame.
Elemental max hit
2.8K is well below the usual 5.9K–9.1K 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 resistance
0% is below the usual 16%–37% range for similar builds.
Resistance gaps are normally cheap to fix and should be handled before chasing damage.
Effective hit pool
5.2K is well below the usual 6.5K–11.4K 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.
