Where's Purity of Chaos?

Is GGG in love with this "element"
Or do they hate ES players?
Is it how they make this game harder for anyone who might like to play an ES build?

No +all res in the game effects chaos, that's not considered an element, apparently.
+chaos res on items is rare, the ring only has a pitiful +13% max.
The res penalties of Cruel and Merciless DO include Chaos.
There are only a few chaos res nodes in the passive tree, and they are spread out all over the place.
And finally...

Where is the Purity of Chaos skill gem?

So, the only attack that bypasses energy shield is also the hardest to get resists for, making ES players forced to:

Spend countless hours/currency trying to get chaos res on their gear.
Go CI.
Stack life under ES.
Get one of only two items in the game that stop chaos damage bypassing energy shield.

None of which non ES players have to worry about.

EDIT TO FOCUS THIS DISCUSSION:

I don't want this game dumbed down or made lol3asy mode, but the fact that GGG added +chaos res nodes indicates that they are aware that chaos damage is a tad overtuned.

All I suggest is another option, and I think a Purity of Chaos gem is the way. It adds only a small extra bonus of +%41 (unless you have insane + mod gear). This is not game breaking.

I simply don't know why this can't be added.

You want a game without challenges. Find one.

It's not very efficient to go hybrid life/ES, unless you're aiming for a low life build, in which case you'll probably need a shavronne or some decent life pool and life regen anyways. Low life gear is not exactly cheap in the first place...
For any other builds, you're better off going full life (maybe with EB+MoM if you use hybrid gear) or full ES (CI is a bit underpowered now, but it's still viable).

Your contribution has been analysed, and found deficient.

Try harder next time.

I said ES players were HARDER to play than other builds.

Not "This gamez 2 hard lol111z"

If you're going ES:

- Don't play heavy chaos mob areas. Just run through them to the bosses as fast as you can.
- Don't play maps

Or get Shavronne's Wrapping.

You can still farm Piety just fine. I finished the 3 Difficulties/Acts with a low-life MF, ES regen build earlier in the league. Shavronne's was too expensive for me back then so I made a life build which I''m playing now.

Which is simply trying to get around the problem.

And GL "running through them"
Mobs of chaos spitting monsters...will kill you in seconds!

if only there was a way to play ES and max your chaos res

Reading...try it next time..

OP is right. No damage element should force us to make decisions. We should be gods whatever we do in a game. Remove all chaos damage from POE so we can just go ES without having to buy the super expensive uniques or getting ci.

Chaos Innoculation is the bread and butter of any non-Shav's ES build.

I think it's fine. Chaos is a more difficult mechanic to deal with than elemental resist and you have to figure out how to work around it. If that weren't the case, ES builds would likely become far too dominant.
