Good job, my friend - I think you are on the right path in finding a ballance between offence and defense.
I don’t want to brag or anything, but late game you can achieve even more tankiness by stacking resistances while still doing massive crits and 120k+ dots. Look at this:
Sorry for posting this, but today I was bored and wanted to determine empirically if OP’s claim that he can put 200k dots is plausible. I equipped the Deathmark chest + the Legwraps and got 192.278 on Salazar. Unfortunately, he died before I could capture the picture but got a 162.225 one the next run:
Now, given the fact that Salazar has Possession which gives him 12% damage absorbtion, it turns out that if my math is correct you could get a 200k dot on a normal human (e.g. Fabius) with my setup if you have at least 6/12 in AoM or Guthook.
Therefore, OP was not lying…you can actually put astronomical DoTs if u cheese the game
devotion-route: crossroads (red+purple) -> akerons skorpion (complete) -> hawk (complete) -> jackal (complete) -> manticore (complete) -> crossroads (blue) -> eel (complete) -> remove crossroads (blue) -> behemoth (complete) -> eye of the guardian (complete) -> chariot of the dead (complete) -> abomination (complete) -> ulzuins torch (2 points)
gearing: i’ve gone with dreegs evil eye until i reach level 35 (take resi-gear to cover resis and push hard dee). when resis are fine take poison/acid damage. after level 35 use the faction gear, always search for all one-shot-chests. use this data base for more information -> https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items (search for “poison”)
Im trying to lvl with dregg evil eye,but man this is so painfull,never had so many deaths before(lvl 48 atm) (got warder and conjurer both 85),i probably doing something wrong here…
what I did : shadow strike in, use the granted skill from Mark of Dreeg, then Dregg evil eye , then watch them died in 2-3 seconds, pretty easy in that way.
Just don’t try to stand still and fight until you have built up your character with gears
