help with RF (first time)

hi guys, i just started this RF recently and am really new to the game, i followed POHX guide as close as i can but my dmg still seems very low, and i do not have the regen i should be getting ig? because the boots when i activate kills me more than the mobs hahaha

any feedback is very appreciated :)

You a chieftain? If so, stacking fire res should assist in regen, provided you've done your ascendancies.

Also, if lower level, there is a shield called springleaf I believe. Has a lot of regen, can be used with RF early on, level 20 up. But again, ascendancies are where some of the regen kicks off, as well as talent tree. But i'm looking at this like you're going for chieftain.

Go to Youtube and search for Pohx's video called Path of Exile 3.25 Act 1 - 10 RF Chieftain Leveling Guide ( Beginner Friendly. )
He does a 5 hour step by step playthrough explaining everything. Put it on your second monitor or in a picture-in-picture window and just play along with him as he goes through the game leveling up.
