Early chaos resistance

[℧ | Tadiktor]

Hey guys,
im just level 15, but i wonder how to get chaos resistance. I never found an Item with it. I dont see any close options in the skill tree. But Monsters with chaos damage are a real pain. Can anyone give me a hint pls

Chaos resistance is hard to obtain by design, it is a rare stat on certain pieces of gear. Especially at lvl 15 you aren't going to obtain it at all. You are very likely NOT taking damage or dying to chaos monsters, especially not at that level, it is most likely other sources of damage. Chaos resistance only really becomes a requirement in the endgame at lvl 65+.

during my 10 years of experience with poe 1 i never builded chaos res. I guess here it will be also not that important and you can still out-survive chaos dmg. For example we have charms so you can build heavy around normal resistances and use charms for poison. Don't worry about your resistances to chaos that much.

Poison is not chaos damage in POE2, they changed it fyi.

It's not viable for every build, but sorcerers who spec ES can grab chaos innoculation for chaos immunity. ES is very good in this game especially when paired with grim harvest which can double your ES pool. You can stack 7000 or 8000 ES with fairly mediocre ES gear quite easily. 300 from the armor, 150 from the helmet, 100 from the gloves & boosts, etc. There's people running around with 20k+ grim harvest ES pools who're chaos immune.
