Sounds like you're missing FHR breakpoints, need more leech/life on attack/on kill, or your resistances are god awful

imo it depends on your stance, if wolf Truce rw gives much needed def and dr while if bear deadfall or Nero rw will add to your offence nicely ;)

So im getting destroyed in act 5 terror. I have max resistances and have 200 fhr. Also have over 50 LL. Over 200k defense. Over 50% DR. My gear is t6 of the early game gear maxed out with mo’s. Any melee enemy is easy to kill. Its the mobs that shoot elemental things at me that destroy me. Doesnt make sense. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have maxed resistances? That might be your issue...

Yes i have maxed resistances. Well, theyre maxed at 77 because i needed sockets for ll jewels. And yes, its mainly the guys who shoot ice bolts that kill me really fast. I havent thought of thunderslam. Ill give it a shot.

Hi,

im currently using your build and its great so far but i have some questions:

Arreat's Snowcap / Lilith's
Legion Carsomyr / Qarak's Will

i have all of them which ones do you prefer?

I dont have the sacred shield im still using t6 invictus does it have any replacements?

I dont really understood the block mechanic. You said we should achieve %75 but when i move my cursor over defence it says %2? How is this supposed to go %75?

I also have demonic touch and nero belt which was perfect for melee necro and i thought maybe they are good for this build. Am i wrong? Doesnt melee necro and this build has a lot in common?

- Demonic touch and Nero are good options for belt and gloves also.

- i prefer to use liliths legion + carsomyr since they give you better DPS. You could use Quarak's will in your secondary hand to get bloodlust buff from it tho.

- invictus replacement would be crafted shield with arachnomancy on melee attack + block%.

- Block mechanics: when you have shield equipped you get block%. you can raise up the % by getting points to dexterity or getting "increased block chance" stats to your gear or skills. Gladiator's uber skill gives you huge amount of block so you need to max that + 2650 points to dexterity to reach max block. much more accurate discription about block you can find here: https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/concepts/defense
