[BUILD HELP] Werewolf Druid (Oracle) dying easily (lvl88)

Hello there!

I'm kinda new to PoE2, first character in the current league and I went for Werewolf druid (Oracle asc).
Now I'm in lvl88 following this build (LINK - Huge AoE Setup variant).

The thing is I'm dying very fast doing maps lvl13. I'm trying following the suggested equipment but I know my res are not capped.

Also my ES is 5.4k but in the guide he have like 9k. What should I focus? cap res no matter what? Grab better items?

I just want to farm and have fun :(

Imo you should get armour or Eva as well only ES as a defence isn't that good unless you have like 20k..

My wolf has 15k armour, and 20k added to elemental with 4.5k es and 1.5k life I almost never die solo.

There is a cluster of nodes above CI that give stun threshold based on energy shield, instead of hp. That cluster is mandatory if you take CI, otherwise you get stunned with every hit because your stun threshold is based on a max hp of 1. Same with ailment threshold, you probably are getting ignited/frozen/shocked non stop. 

Unless you're getting stun threshold elsewhere, I can't see your tree very well because I'm on mobile. 

I'm running a wolf too and I've had a lot of success running the Sanguis Essentia gloves and annointing Fast Metabolism on my amulet, it gives you some pretty strong energy shield leech. Not sure how effective it would be without the 30% damage as extra phys damage mod on your weapon, though.

Cap res (at least the 3 elements)

Are you being one shot? Get more ehp (damage take from x before life, es, hp)

Cap your res at 75. And get 3 proper charms:

  • Get a stone charm (stun immunity), there's a unique charm that also gives you armour and stun immunity (for utopia)
  • Thawing charm (Freeze immunity) there's a unique charm, that also regens your energy shield and gives freeze immunity called Nascent Hope, very good for any ES build.
  • Dousing charm (ignite immunity)

Grab all 3, it's late into the league so each charm should only be worth like 1 ex or 1 annul.

  • also need to stack alot more ES, as a melee class you're in the middle of packs often, ES needs to be close to 10k.

You resist are too low. Minimum should be 65% Cant tell your armor, but try to reach on character screen around 50-55%. Also try to get some nodes in tree which gives armour protection on elemental damage.

I see your POE ninja link updated, but not the best direction

If you want to go as most people with armor and ES hybrid you should not take CI passive or you wont have enough Energy shield.

If you want CI pick items with most energy shield you can get and buy Essentia Sanguis Furtive Wraps (leech energy shield instead of life) similar builds

Buy new rings amulet and boots with movement speed and resitances (armour +es or just ES)
