Mate, not to be a dick, but you’re not gearing for defence like you should. This is 100% a gear issue, and not a game issue. You’re nearing 300 corruption and have no life, no armour, no ward, no nothing. The only reason you made it this far is because the overtuned wraithlord 1-shots everything. If you want to play glasscanon that is perfectly fine, but don’t complain about being one-shot.

You sound so miserable. My advice? Drop the game and seek some therapy. This level or aggressiveness and entitlement is not normal. I hope you find your peace. Bless.

I’m with Bronco here. Devs balance is targetted around 300 corruption. Getting hit by big telegraphed attacks at that corruption should dookie on someone.
Also resistances are not useless, lol. But I’m not gonna go on a rant about it here, I’ve done that in other threads and explained defenses countless times there.

Spire damage is to be avoided, period.
They’re a goal for a reason.
I have to agree that some types of spire damage is a bit too much… but also there’s some which do basically nothing.
Both need to be a bit more in line with the game simply.
Overall reduction? No.
So lets get into it then!
First of all ‘I have bad gear’ while tackling the expected amount of corruption overall achievable by any build with decent gear is already an ‘out’ for you there though.
Reduce corruption.
That’s the first suggestion from my side.
Then lets go into the actual build details:
Ok, you’re a wraithlord build with moving wraiths. So my suggestions for you:
Idols:
Remove the flame wraith idols, they’re worthless for you and take up space.
Pick %health and flat health ones. That’s the first major point.
The healing effectiveness ones don’t synergize with anything in a major way, armor + health is a better choice for EHP pool + overall damage reduction to not need healing in the first place.
I recommend 2 ‘large immortal idols’ in your layout. One with marked for death + health and one with cooldown reductions for minions + health. Everything else the aforementioned ones + res cap if needed.
Which also means… remove the phys res ones! Why are they in there? You’re vastly overcapped.
Gear:
The amulet is fairly bad.
Life regen isn’t all too good in itself, the healing effectiveness can stay.
Better to get minion damage/life on prefixes and health + res on suffixes.
Also try to switch it out for a ‘death rattle’, even without LP it’s superior in every way for your build, opening up space in other areas.
Your helmet is fine… well… not much choice there now, right? 
Weapon… use a unique weapon. Either ‘Chronostasis’ (I don’t care about your ward argument, it’s a defensive layer + int for you) or a ‘Usurper’s Mandate’ 2 handed axe. This is both offensive and defensive, a very strong defensive measure even.
Armor, why a Kestrel? You barely have dodge, you don’t scale in dodge. Use a armor base fitting for your class with good mods on it. Wraith level bonus + int for prefix, health for suffix.
Rings are there for res, life, minion damage, int. Focus on the res and the minion damage, int secondary, life secondary.
belt… ignore the potion chance. Cleanse is the one you want to have, the most important stat for you on there. Beyond that a experimental base with minion damage is a very good choice. Hybrid health is also important. Ignore the cooldown recovery, that’s not needed for your build at all. Nice bonus but you got other worries.
Gloves, experimental is mandatory for you. Armor/armor for dot affix to be exact if you don’t want to go ward. Optimally on the base which gives you even more armor on dot. Health is great, minion damage is also always great.
Boots, also ecperimental base. The one which makes minion teleport with you. Your unique is fairly useless. Crit avoidance and movement speed are a must have for you on there currently.
Relic: health, res, minion damage. Simple, whatever’s needed.
Off-hand, res, minion stats, why a shield? You’re not scaling with block. Ignore that mechanic, get a + int item with ward generation. Once more… I don’t care about your ward argument, it’s extra defense on top.
Blessings:
Ending the storm: ward generation per second or lightning res. You didn’t want ward itself after all… either lean into it or use opened up affixes for something else like life.
Reign of dragons: go crit avoidance, not minion res. Your minions don’t need to life, they do anyway and your wraithlord one-shots most stuff before it can react.
All res for you personally is also viable to open affixes on gear.
Spirits of Fire: go for armor or endurance, whichever you need more. You need defenses, you get damage from enough sources outside of a blessing.
Don’t be obnoxious, he’s right, even if the tone is not nice. Doesn’t change that part. Nothing he said is wrong there.
You’re not supposed to ever get hit by spires in the first place and you’re also not built for the content you’re running.
Res is capped at 75% and tells you so.
That’s absolute basic game knowledge for the game.
So start with the basics.
Your math is entirely wrong on many many levels here.
Cap is 75
Content reduces 75
Your maximum res is hence ‘0’
You get full damage at empowered monoliths at all times.
Not even remotely, ward had ups and downs, always was viable and even with changes will stay that way.
They would need to utterly gut it for it not to be, on many many levels.
Your expectation has a miniscule chance to become reality.
Crit avoidance is also bare minimum.
Block chance below 100 is a last ditch effort at best, 610 armor is nothing basically, especially for dots and your build non-effective as it doesn’t even work on that.
Stun avoidance is not needed with higher life as you don’t get stunned as often.
You don’t go for ward so you retention is useless.
Endurance scales off of life and only accounts for the last bits of life, it’s a pure EHP pool increase, you don’t have enough life to warrant them.
End result = 0 poison res as 75 is cap and 75 is reduction from mobs in empowered monoliths. Hence baseline. The poison spires deal DoT and you have barely any dot related defenses, the only being your amulet.
You need EHP direly, simple as that, and not be inside of them in the first place beyond a singular tick.
Get… more… HP… that’s really… and I mean really shit.
EHP is the thing you want to achieve and with 600 HP baseline you can’t push the multiplication upwards to be sensible in any way.
Yes, that’s intended. Monoliths are at absolute worst 5 minute effort.
Unless you full clear, which is not the case with any monolith that has no ridiculous amount of rare mobs in them.
Doesn’t matter. Spire hits are not to be taken in the first place. They’re 100% avoidable.
Movement speed on boots would be a start to not scramble to get out of range. Proper usage of movement skills as well to avoid them entirely no matter your movement speed.
Yes there are, tons.
Life gets you up to around 700 with some effort.
Ward is just broken and gets you to 2k+
300 is the baseline every build can run decently with investment.
So, by using your brain (which you didn’t despite trying to insult others for not doing so) you’ll realize that:
- Poison spires don’t insta-kill you. They DoT you down
- You’re not using the right stats for your gear, which leaves especially DoT open to let you get ticked down
- You’re not minimizing the time inside the areas the spires hit since you have very low movement speed.
- You want to lean into health with a build that inherently scales with ward usage. Necro is a ward based character in many cases.
So why the heck are you complaining if you’re personally fucking yourself over in several ways at once despite pointing them out yourself at times?
You to everyone else.
It’s kinda hilarious, isn’t it?
You sometimes get really really dense people.
