It's just my inability to actually survive a massive group collapsing at once in the first teleport across. no merc or anything.
my stats being (lvl 121)
str - 651 (charms make up a lot of this, it'll go down once i respec a little later. after i farm out a better cow charm and finish sigs.)
dex - 1991
defence - 130k
hp - 11,902 (w/ moonstrike)
block - 40%
resists - 79/78/78/79
physical - 40%
bladestorm dmg - 2633-4004 | Attack damage 6.4-10k (both with moonstrike, no firedance)
edit: the reason i was doing sigs in nihlathak instead of k3k and such. it's faster. sure one run of k3k will get more if i break down all the sets (roughly 4-6 a full clear, i have really low mf). but i can clear nihlathak in about a minute or so for 2. plus better rate of set drops. . . the only thing left in the jungle for me are the trophy's from jitan and the blood dude.
I keep hearing about necro being better as is barb. barb i won't play strictly because of aesthetics, i can't stand looking at their model walking around all day. necro the walk animation is at least bearable. but mine didn't make it past like lvl 15 lol, just feels so ridiculously slow on the actual move speed. at least melee sorc gets baneblade + boots (neither can match sin, but i'm biased in sins favor . . . they're just absurdly weak with similar investment)
ya the slain souls just hit me for so much. some runs i get through the entire first 3 ring area's (before tele) without a single issue. and some runs i'll die early on. even the barrels don't seem to hit me for as much as the slain souls do.
Provide TSW link so we can see your gear.
You need to get arround 3k dex with a 5% ctb shield. Max block helps you so much.
Side that, i went for the lightning tree instead of poison tree simply because of the avoid chance and the defense bonus. which also helped me alot, more than 20% phys resist.
To this day, i have not a single time needed Phys resist, and im at 30% atm.
I am running Lightning/Cold setup, but i do also have end game gear all around.
