5k life 90% res and 250 000 armour ?

Guy I don't know what you want from me at this point. I posted a link that could quadruple the dude's Armour for 4 exalted orbs.

And no, he didn't say DPS was his problem. You made that tf up.

I'm not an expert in Warrior builds, but your Defenses do seem extremely low.

Here's a weighted search I created for you with very basic stats:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Dawn%20of%20the%20Hunt/2Zwz645ik

You should be able to use this as a starting point for a lot of easy upgrades. It's looking for items available for a maximum of 2 exalts and weighting based on Armour, Life, and Strength.

If you click on the "Sum" field under the items it will sort so the highest values are at the top.

For example, this body armor is up for 1 exalt:


Get that for 1 exalt, boost its quality to 20%, and add two sockets for Iron Runes.

My apologies friend, I wasn't clear enough. I forgot to mention that I chose the Smith of Kitava as the main ascendancy. Can only use normal white armor. Thats how it was designed. Your body piece has to be normal white, can't use legendary or others.

Even with that chosen I cranked up the armor to +20. So at this point I am adding more armor nodes, might have to move some out of dps to armor. I'm not sure how much HP you need max'd as well. Once again thanks for your support.

Guy no need to apologize you can filter the search to look for items in other slots.

For 3 exalts you can gain more Armour than you currently have in total from helmet, gloves, and boots.

I didn't made that up, I tried to logic it out, compared to you who are pulling everything out of context.

You posted the trade link, sure good for you that you filtered an item for him, but that doesn't answer my question how are his stats low for end campaign.

Let me re-iterate :

Lvl 71
HP 1,510
Resistances 75
Res Chaos 28
Armor 2,837 / 53%
Evasion 279 / 0%
Ailgment Prot 759


That item boosting his defenses has nothing to do with my question. What I want from you is to tell me why are his defenses extremely low in your opinion, because it seems that your opinion sucks turbo a@@...Try not to weasel yourself out of this question by pulling out of context stuff.

I'm not Kerchunk, but I agree with thinking those defenses are low.

1.5k hp is okay for campaign, personally would want above 2.5k-3k for maps. Elemental res cap is good, chaos kinda low, no Es, no evasion, no block, 53% phys reduction helps with lots of little tiny hits but will not stop large or even medium physical hits from 1 shotting (need closer to 80-85% there)

He barely even started maps, I played until tier 7 with -15 fire rez, 10 cold resistance and 5% lightning rez and no chaos rez. Had probably around the same amount of life if not with 100-200 more. Died 2 times before reaching t7.

Just being a smith of kitava and having 75% res makes the mobs on t1 white maps hit like noodles.

Out of curiosity, how much balance have you put into defensive passives and what is your play style? I have a friend playing warrior with a spear and he can wade into hell and back again without dying, but he plays it very much like a tank and sacrifices some speed of kill for durability and he is very mobile.

Here is a L71 Smith of Kitava I just put together with items that are available right now for 7 Exalted Orbs:

https://poe2.ninja/pob/4cde

That's 3.2k Life and 13.7k Armour so, yeah man. I get you can't just slam Defensive stats like that -- but I'm pretty confident in my assertion that 1.5k Life and 2.8k Armour is a little on the low side and this guy could probably shoot for a more balanced build for very little cost.

Ty for the help, I use leap slam and to be honest i have most nodes selected for aoe range attacks so that boneshatter covers the whole screen. Works nicely, killing is good but defenses are real low unless i am doing something bad.

What I might try is removing some nodes in other areas like warcry nodes and rage nodes to put into defense nodes. Mobility aint issue either.

In this version i've seen mobs interrupt way more now which hinders your next action. Now I don't know if you need to up your stun threshold more for yourself so you are not stoped from using the next action.

Most of the times when i leap slam onto packs I have to roll back then boneshatter quickly to wipe the screen. So yeah it's kinda now "leap, rollback then step forward and boneshatter".

Weired but thats me.

Hi Kerch,

I made some big changes to my build.

Adjusted life to 1.5k
Reduced Aoe range attacks and invested in more armour nodes.
Invested in more % strength nodes
Reduced rage nodes for armour nodes
Reduced warcry nodes for armour nodes.

It has helped a lot. My health pool doesn't get depleted and i can move smoothing from pack to packs. It still needs better stats on armor as i am running flat stats. Trying to build up and save mats.

My biggest change was that I had invested in a far off branch to get aoe range attack nodes. So i removed those and brought back the points back. In all I had 15 free points to use, so they went into armour, strength and one life node that gives 5% life or 3 can't remember.

Apart from investing in nodes i was thinking more deeper to get nodes that had minimum x2 or 3 good stats in them that i could heavily use. Much like stepping up from a plain sandwich to a burger. Juicy bite lol.

That will be my next build alteration, consuming more stats in the 1 node.

Thanks to all for the ideas and support.

Enjoy the game.
