Usually good way for shield users is shield mastery for 20%, eldritch implicit for ~15%, another ~25% on your shield/boots if you can afford it, and then a good 40-50% shock avoidance abyssal jewel and you're there. Can also find good Abyssal's with 20-25% chance to avoid shock as a corrupted implicit.

Made it to red maps with around 250k dps using Ele Hit or whatever, but aside from a decent 6-link from the tree that funded my whole build, have yet to really see anything beyond 2 exalts and a handful of chaos.

All my labs are done, think I'm around 60 atlas points and did the first maven quesr fight.....struggling to continue on. I know I have a ton of things I need to work to solve but unless I get some magical expensive drop it feels like it's not really possible.

The main problem is I don't know shit about crafting so I rely on trade. Way easier this league with async, but hard to do when you have no actual currency. Should I just go all in on scarab nodes and hope to hit a few jackpots? Really unsure how to progress in this league.

PS: Escaping from the breach hives is terrible; I'm sure I need more survivability but most times I just logout and burn a portal because it ramps up fast and after 30ish seconds I get one-shot.

How many leagues have you played to maps? I bet I am at 10-15 now and I still don't totally understand crafting. Hell, it took the best crafting league ever, Harvest, for me to even attempt it.

However, you can start to understand it by going to craftofexile and watching their intro to crafting video. Get a good understanding about bases, prefixes, and suffixes. Then you can start looking for better gear combinations.

No way to get the avoid shock on there no, not without using recombinators and a lot of luck.

Best bet is craft a thing you want then use foulborn exalt to hit a big res

You can hit 100% shock avoid on a belt though if you need to with stygian + essences and a big roll on an abyssal jewel

Searing currency on boots can give 30+ shock avoidance without sacrificing a mod somewhere else.

I also anoint Crystal Skin to my ammy for +1 Max res and 20% ele avoidance. Yes, I am a Stormshroud proponent. It is my savior as melee.

Yea Stormshroud is about as free as full ailment avoidance has ever really been.

Ancestral Vision is also really good if you're suppress cause you can combine it with a single shield/boot mod + implicit, but it is often more expensive

Think this makes 3 plus one I stupidly started on standard, but that one I quit after around yellow maps.

I do want to learn crafting at some point it just is very intimidating....not to mention there are a ton of activities I have yet to do much with.....ie: Sanctum / Heist / the temple thing with transportation / delve / etc.

My best league was Settlers by far where I was up to 8-10ish mil DPS LS Slayer and was able to farm some nimis.....had Uber Exarch / Eater / Shaper down pretty consistently and had hundreds of divines, but it took a lot of outside help from this forum to get there.

I still feel like a noob for sure, game is pretty overwhelming to me. Doesn't help that I chose a pretty glass cannon build this league but I've been enjoying it for the most part.

I finished 4 stones, made a couple of necro builds that I hated and blew up 40 div of my 100 div gear/build swapping.

Might have gotten my fill of the league unless next patch adds something sick to build around.
