Surviving "Increased difficulty and reward for each closed pitt"?

That DoT is chaos damage (not a standard poison debuff), so chaos res is the real fix here — I believe the per-pit difficulty scaling on that tablet mod turns them into delete buttons after ~10 closes.

Your Spark CoC Pathfinder is literally built for this farm once defenses are worked out, so stack 75%+ chaos res and you’ll laugh at it.

Pro tip: always kite the big boys out of there — fighting inside the cloud screws your DPS and sometimes you lose the juicy rare omen drops there. Some people deliberately stop at 12-15 pits because the risk/reward curve goes vertical after that (when you are not strong enough yet).

Or what’s your chaos res sitting at right now?

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

• CoC - Cast on Critical Strike (trigger mechanic, commonly used with Comet and other spells) (Wiki)

poison = chaos damage in poe2 fyi

Obviously not every build can run it, but chaos inoculation passive is huge

At this point I don't think it's either chaos or poison damage, but death juice

Is it chaos damage or is it similar to the phys dmg over time like in chaos trials?

I use Unearth with the Brutus' Brain lineage gem on my Galvanic Shard witchhunter. I can only use a low level version due to intelligence, but those little critters are a nice diversion that soak up the attention of the scary abyss creatures while I stay far away shooting them from “relative” safety.
