Cuz..... "difficulty"!
Be challenged, this is 5 star khantent *snort

Wait a second, it's not like it just drops you to -60% from one fight. You hit -30% after the first Kitava fight at the end of Act 5. Having to increase your resistances by 30% after that fight should tip you off that it's going to happen again at the second Kitava fight. It's the same boss that does it both times. If you re-maxed your resistances by the time you beat Kitava the second time, you only have to increase your resistances by another 30%. That's not a big deal.

Yes the first "fight" did take 30% from my resists, but I thought: Ok i gotta suffer through it, and when i kill the thing it will revert. Seen this kinda thing in several other games. Certainly didn´t think that a reward for "finishing" the game and killing the last boss would be another -30%
As i´ve mentioned the -30% wasn´t that bad and the monsters seemed much weaker than in act 9 and then especially act 10 which was a torture. Totally wasn´t prepared for it, and the moment i killed Kitava my char turned into garbage.


Sure i chose weird char for my build and my build is most likely garbage and all you experienced players are laughing at how bad it is. But playing it for 72 levels and having absolutely no problems, one shoting normal mobs, killing elites and bosses fast certainly didn´t give the impression, that i´d suddenly get hit with a steel bat in the face.

I understand the thinking, but you realize that would mean the game would get easier after you finished it? That doesn't follow the pattern of MMOs in general, or offline RPGs that have post-game content.

No one's laughing at your build, you're just really exaggerating how badly -30% affected it. Your character didn't instantly turn into garbage just because hits kill him a little easier. Your dps didn't go down, your armor wasn't broken, you're just more susceptible to elemental damage. If you had properly maxed your resistances you would be at, minimum, 45% right now. What are your resistances at right now, after debuff?

Edit: Did you not increase your resistances at all throughout Part 2? Even if you thought they would be reverted, why go through the whole half of the game without improving your defense?

No one is laughing at you, all of us experienced players literally did the same thing you did. We're trying to help, (Well they were) but it must seem like information overload. My first character only made it to cruel (RIP Officer peterson, you will be missed) which is like after 1st kit to second. You've gotten further then most first builds.

There is 2 things that will 100% improve your game though:

1. look up a split arrow guide and just look at some of the things they are going for with gear and tree choices, I'm not telling you to copy them but to get some insight on what they get and why.

2. And become familiar with poe.trade and its currency converter (located in the top right corner of the site). When I mean become familiar with it, I mean learning how to efficiently use all of the search drop downs to narrow the trillions of items to the 10-50 that you are actually looking for and IN your price range. (2 video guides about currency tiers and how to use poe.trade efficiently would probably be enough)

Even if that character doesn't make it, if you make a second the fruits of your first will GREATLY speed up the leveling process.

I also want to add that the first character I had that made it to maps (beat the story) ran into the same issue with low resistances. It took a little bit of effort, but I was able to fix that character and continue the game within a couple of hours. I got my resistances back up without trading at all.

[Dead Echo]

I´m currently at 73% fire,68% cold,65% lightning and 12% chaos, took me half a day, but the character is back in action, well mostly. Normal mobs and elites are like butter, i melt em, but bosses are giving me trouble, i´m still for the most part one to two hit, i really need more life. So far i´m running maps 1-3, havent tried higher yet.

Fully max them if you can, you might be surprised how much 10% can make a difference. But yeah, more HP, maybe plug in some uniques from trade, and you can probably go all the way.

its not that hard to get the resistance you need. there are 3 types of rings that you can enchant with Orb of Alteration and Orb of Augmentation . use them till you get decent resistance . you can also get elemental resistance on your armor. just make sure your equipment level is not too low or youll not get good enchantments . you can google what you can enchant on items and what level it must be by googling "poe affix"

Why should we laughing about you? We all were there once

That's why posters here try to help you.

I would not recommend that except you play SSF. paying 1c for a ok-ish ring is faster and less currency consuming than crafting it yourself.

If you're actively investing in Chaos, don't. You don't need any of it really, outside of specific builds.

Wouldnt it be nice if developers tried to make immersive and engaging mechanics for this game, instead of superficially increasing the "difficulty" with buffs/debuffs

Wouldn't it be nice if your posts had substance instead of being toxic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Thanks everyone, i´m slowly adjusting my char, it will never be really good, but at least it´s fun to play again. I Think i´ll go for another experiment (melee witch) and after that i´ll try some guide to get some endgame build that isn´t too expensive.
