How do I properly understand making builds? I’m a forge guard, and I hit hard in game, but my vitality drops fast and my resistance is almost maxed. I don’t understand the games mechanics on armor and build making. Even following guides confuse me and i try to do it on my own. I just need proper guideance… i’m level 53 forge guard.
Learn all the mechanics in the game and simply make more buidls yourself.
Everytime you will udnerstand a little bit more until you ahve a grasp.
Resistances are just one of many defensive layers. They don’t need to be maxed out as priorioty number 1. More importantly you should combine multiple defensive layers.
E.g. Resistance, Armor, Block, Health.
Generally health is always is good ivnestment unless you are a full ward build. Health multiplies your eHP and how effecient all your other defensive layers are.
Armor is just one of many defensive layers and not mandatory for any build. You can certainly use it on a lot of build but also can completely ignore it, as long as you invest enough into other defensive layers.
Just following what other people do without any proper explanations why often does not teach you anything.
Doing it yourself and also failing along the way will make you learn more lessons than copying what other people did.
Instead of checking the build guides on youtube and other sites, instead read the section that explains game mechanics. For example Defenses Explained - Last Epoch Maxroll.gg
