Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Fire 54%/75%, Cold 65%/75% below current cap.
The further elemental resistances are below the current cap, the more dangerous hard map and boss hits become.
Movement speed
136% is a little below the typical 140% reference for similar builds.
Lower speed usually means slower map clear, worse repositioning, and less room to dodge boss mechanics.
