Also as far as I remember, your stats seem to be the best compared to other players that wrote 'I get instantly killed while playing a pouncezon', yet you are still struggling. For example, if your poison resistance is low, your hp will quickly drop to 1 if you stay under the poison clouds in Duncraig or hit by Harpylisks in Fauzt. That might be the problem as well.

ok. sounds good. thx. and how to raise the maximum resist if anywhere Jewel on 2LL?


Jewels can roll with +resistances. Azmodan charm gives 5 max, other charms give res like island of the sunless sea, optical detector, laz charm, etc

80all rez is good for dunc or fauzt?

You don't really need resistances there. The poison seeds that slain souls in Duncraig through can do a little damage and the harpy thing in Fauzt can deal some poison damage too but mostly you just need defense and %DR with leech and faster hit recovery.

I would disagree. These poison seeds can actually cause troubles if you get surrounded after being poisoned with low posion resists. Stacking additional (but not too much) fire (Assur room) and poison resistance is important for a pouncezon because she does not have a big hp pool. Crafted jewels are the best way to stack them, especially if your LL is high enough already so you can close your eyes on 1% LL if there are other good attributes on that jewel (resists, flat life).

Well yes, that's why I mentioned the poison attacks. Figured it was implied that it would be nice to have some poison resist. Fire resist is useful too if you plan on interacting with Assur regularly, otherwise you can just pounce quickly through and away. Would still get like 250-300 of each resistance to be safe anyways.

100+? are you crazy. I'm pretty sure anything over 50% is not needed unless you happen to have 10k life. But if you have the gear optimized to have 10k life then you have enough damage to 1shot everything. And then you wont need that much lifesteal anyway lol.

He asked for the 'optimal' %LL for Dunc, not 'minimum'. You can slowly farm Dunc with less LL, worse gear and less charms but that won't prevent a random death if smth goes wrong. Having 100+ LL allows to farm it being half-asleep/with one eye closed. Assuming you can easily avoid barrels and poison seeds, ofc.
