Oracle CoC Comet Loop Build Has Almost No Chaos Resistance?

Howdy all,

My goal this season is to put together Iva Markova's CoC Elemental Weakness > CoAilment Comet loop build found here:

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/9ec39c0b-21b7-4676-9b8c-24dffd39e166/builds/21ea2a77-76a2-427f-8e92-37d01547934c

but I wanted to make sure I understand how everything works first. I noticed that there's very little Chaos Resistance on the gear in any of the versions, and I don't see it accounted for in the passive tree, and I was wondering why that is.

Is there some other source of Chaos Resistance that I'm just not thinking of? Is the idea that you should be killing things/moving so quickly you won't need to worry about it? Something else entirely?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I’m guessing if you kill everything immediately chaos res doesn’t impact that much.

Looks like the gear just doesn’t have enough slots to get decent chaos. They probably just picked the least often damage type to encounter as elemental is consistently either on map mods or from mobs themselves.

Ammy rings gloves and boots, plenty of places to get resist from. Also look at corruptions on the unique gear that offer resists if needed

There are little chaos resistancr because most slots are unique required for this build. Thus you have rare rings, amulet, boot and gloves to gain in either elemental resistance (priority) vs chaos (less important if you have not cap ele resists).

I know because I play this build as Bloodmage. Extremely hard to get full ele resist and chaos. I am capped ele res, and chaos around 37%. My rings are 60-100divs. My amulet with 2x T1 res +3/60spirit is over 2Kdiv.

Honestly nearly every character i make on this game is just 0 chaos res or ci, its not really needed unless youre in hc, its so rare to even die late game to anything that isn’t essence or runic monsters, and ele res deals with essence just fine.

Literally the only time i would ever focus on chaos res is if i’m going hc. And even then i dont think i would care enough to cap it or just go ci instead.

Here’s my version of the build if you needed ideas for gear. All max res including chaos. 4.7k mana

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

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?

Rakiata who?

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!
