Chaos damage and why it hurts the game in it's current form.
I can see where OP is coming from, -60 on a damage source is pretty insane when it's more rare then other resists, on the tree and on items. I wouldn't think making it half to -30 on merciless would change much, but it would be more fair.

kripp's wand templar was an art.
so powerful. but his build required so much work to be viable. |

to support OP's concern.
it would be nice to have more chaos resist nodes. so that we can balance it around. |

" The problem with you is that you can't understand correctly what we are saying. 5 minutes ago i said that you CAN make a glass cannon with NO HP. Glass cannon- NO HP Glass cannon- NO HP Is that clear enough? If you manage to understand this,then the next step is to try and find some good sources of CC,distractions,mobility and damage. |

" I've seen it in other peoples builds to, just spotted this one that was taken to level 76: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMBAv4FQgVbB2MMfRBpEH8RUBGWF1QZLho4HNwdFB8CIoEn7SlPLJwtRzCXNsU5ijrYO-FBlkLDQ2NG103YUEJUSVZKVytY9VnzXcZd8mBtZp5nvW0ZcFJw1XFNfVN-WX_GghCCm4uMjDaMdo48j0aQVZUEms-boZ3EnqGio6cIpyunhKyqrrOvm7aGtzG4k7ndu9bAGsBUwfPGntDQ1I_YJNrd3fPfhN-w4XPi9-aB51LsOO0g7w7xdvIv89360v3P Yet the other people in this thread are telling me to take every HP node possible. You're telling me to take every crit node instead of cold damage, but theres a successful build that was trying exactly what I was attempting with cold damage nodes not crit nodes. I can guarantee that people running a build like that did everything from cruel difficulty onwards in groups. My error was trying to solo. If I go back to my cold templar and start playing in groups, I wont have any problem. So really, the only advice that needed to be given was 'Play in a group', not 'Your build sucks balls lolololol'.

Chaos damage isn't the problem at all. Charging mobs are the hardest to deal with in this game. At -30% and proper life pool you barely feel chaos damage if you have life leech yourself. It's also really hard to really die from chaos damage since most of the damage is dealt in small shots or dots while rhoa charges take half your life pool instantly and there ain't shit you can do about that, especially with the current netcode.

" I'm not actually get trolled, i got full knowledge of what i'm facing! I just want to prove him wrong multiple times for the guys that think chaos damage or glass cannons aren't viable,but if you point them in the right way ,the can succeed! Thanks for your concerns! |

I would think that a legitimate Glass Cannon build picks up just enough HP nodes to not get one shot by your typical Rare enemy. While people complain about Life stacking, it's very easy to not pick enough HP to consider yourself a true tank, so don't be afraid of picking up SOME life.
