one reason people probably have an impression that this is a squishy build is because, like all EV/ES builds it has no damage mitigation, or very little.

this means that you can get 1-shot, but more importantly, what i find is that you get "whittled" down until you get 1-shot.

large mobs, especially with speed mods can overrun you, and then with your ES down to 20 or 30% of max, you take a hit that finishes you off.

that's been my experience which is a problem because i love shadows. lol.

so that means large life/ES pool. experienced players know that, but certainly new players will learn the hard way. EV is such a noob trap. then, of course, you have to define what "large" is.

without damage mitigation, i'm not sure how you can call this a "tanky" build. i say that because most people have the impression that a tanky build is exactly that, something that can face tank tough enemies. trapper is all about movement, and if you don't move ur dead.

having said that i watched your minotaur video and with about 7k ES i don't think you ever took a hit fro minotaur that brought you under 5k ES. so, you know, ur gud :-) and that helps too.

just some random thoughts from someone that always plays trapper, and always gives up in red maps. lol.

let's see if this time is any better...

I don't reccomend playing a CI build if you're new, and I reccomend playing lowlife even less. This guide kind of assumes you know what you're doing? It is missing a lot of the critical handholding steps during the critical levels 60~80 when you're transitioning and upgrading your gear and stuff.

i disagree, but that's because i'm not gud. lol.

when i watch the videos, this build is safe because everything is dying. getting overrun is a real problem. you get overrun when your damage isn't high enough, or you forgot to make sure you had pierce, or etc...

defiance banner is interesting. i haven't used that before. the armor/evasion increase obviously doesn't help, however the reduced crit chance is really nice.

block is not damage mitigation. you miss the block on a big hit, you still get 1-shot.

i never noticed wise oak had elemental damage reduction. is that new ? (i haven't played in 2 or 3 leagues).

however i did not take into account ES on block. that's a big deal, aegis aurora builds are very well known, or at least used to be well known, for being brokenly tanky (hence it got nerfed). that would definitely go a long way to solving the "big mob hits you 20 times and whittles down our ES" problem. i guess, with max block, it probably goes a long way to helping against bosses too, as long as the hit that gets through the block doesn't 1-shot you.

Any good way to fix problems with attributes? Lacking on dexterity alot, bit of strength but dexterity is the issue. Chayula amulet limits how much i can get, belts can only have a strength affix. Only way I can think of it rings which also limits strength of the ring i can go for. Is there any jewel im missing or do I just have to work with dex on rings? Or maybe get it on helmet?
