Pretty much just what the title says. I've been running this build for a bit and have been enjoying my time with it but I still get oneshot by random stuff somewhat frequently which is kinda limiting my progress. Is there anything I can do to improve my survivability?
As someone who plays HC I want 10-12k max phys hit. Sooo I would say get 5k more ES 😅
More ES and Life are needed. You are evading around half of the hits, but when you get hit, you dont have enough mitigation or absorption of physical damage.
Is there something that regularly kills you?
Is this your character or do you mean you're copying the build?
a rare body with phys taken as chaos mod from essence might help, larger ES pool from rare body, little bit of damage taken from mana if you're not having mana issues.
avoid too many damage multipliers on map (extra damage, crit, inc damage).
source: made a twister (but with whirling slash) chayula monk, never died and cleared everything including t3 simu, juiced maps. was pure ES though, max phys hit was too low on hybrid.
I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

You don't. GGG has a bunch of mechanics that are basically 1 shot no matter what you build. You can sacrifice everything for defences and with like 16k health, over capped res, maxed armour, and a disgusting amount of es and still get past tensed. The only real defense about the 1 shot mechanics is the 7% chance to not die node under unseen path and a boat load of evasion and hope they don't actually hit.
I’m not too familiar with how monk plays, but at 22k ehp i want to say the answer is, don’t get hit by the big skills that one shot you.
I haven’t had anywhere close to that ehp this league and don’t feel like i ever get one shot.
What content specifically you dying jn?
It's almost impossible to gear up enough defenses to not get oneshot. I would ditch evasion and stack as much ES as possible. But you have 3k more ehp than I have on my sorc, and I do fine unless have had too much beers. I don't know your build, if the unique chest is necessary, but you loose a ton of ES there compared to a 100d Vile robe
I’d say either focus on evasion or armor you have good ES and resistance but no armor or evasion will get you pretty much one shot no matter how much ES you have
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
