Help wanted, gearing my char

Hi,

I always enjoy playing a char till about lvl 75 - 80. Thats when i hit a wall with gear.
This is not a LE thing, but just about every ARPG i play. (Except D3, but that was just cookiecutter stuff). I hit a wall as if i change my gear, ill gain something like Health, but then loose Resistances somewhere else… Its always a trade off and im someone who sucks at that, i want the extra Health, but also keep the Resistance… Which causes me to never change out gear. And thus keep getting one shotted at a certain point. To which i just lvl a new char.

Anyways, i got a fun beastmaster Serpent Strike poison pet build going. Fun to play and id like to push this one a bit futher.
However my defenses are fed up. And i have no idea how to fix this. If anyone want to take a look and see what can be approved, id appreciate it a lot. (ive used the planner to see what gear i needed, my actuall char is lvl 72.)

Hi, If you check end game builds, they get a lot of resistances and other defenses from blessings which allow them to take health on Affixes.

Check out this build for example and click on the defenses so that you see where he takes them from: Beastmaster, Level 100 (LE Beta 0.8.4e) - Last Epoch Build Planner

Also, you don’t have any crit avoidance or endurance which are also a strong defensive mechanisms.

You are missing crit avoidance. Which is THE most important stat for avoiding one shots. You need crit avoidance at 100%.

Every other defensive stat you have is pretty much good.

Hi. Sugestion:

a) always get health. Health is MORE IMPORTANT than others affix.
b) I did a new build:

Viper strike = main skill
Minions = support (crit avoid + healing + poison bonus)
Warcry = Melee speed bonus
Aspect = poison and melee speed bonus
Spriggan Form = EMERGENCY button , press it and you get full ward + full armor + health totem

You could always go dodge. I was aiming for that when I tried out serpent strike, but just felt like a poison rogue with less defenses honestly. Maelstrom adds dodge per stack, so does Serpent Strike. Spriggan minion adds dodge, granted scaling from attunement.
