what do i do against chaos dmg

Easiest answer is to get chaos resistance, if you have free space on your gear you can see if you can get a little bit.
You usually don't need it because the game is balanced around low resists, Incursions are an exception for this league.

Ancient Constructs, as an example, deal a mix of phys/chaos spell damage. Getting Phase Acrobatics and Vaal Grace is more generally more helpful against those (and in general) than chaos resistance.

For most packs it's also a valid strategy to Shield Charge into them, slow with Temp. Chains and outheal with LgoH before they hit you. (You're missing fortify on your Shield Charge)

Hey, thank you for your build. I've been using it for a week now and It's really noobish friendly. I started mapping with a tabula rasa, and then changed for the belly at tier 10 when I got enough currency to afford it.

I'm thinking about changing the amulet in order to get a +1 curse, so that I can use both Temporal Chains and Despair. But that would be quite expensive in order to have that + res cap. So do you think it would be worth the exa?

I assume you'd want to get Despair through Witchfire Brew. If you're using Volkuur's, Anger tends to be a better source of mana reservation.

Despair adds about 60% dps vs trash and 12% dps vs endgame bosses, so it's mainly worth considering if you want to clear faster.

I'm not sure how much exactly you'd spend for an amulet, but if it's more than ~3ex, I'd probably get a helmet enchantment and elder rings before that. They're better for general purpose.

Thanks for your answer. Yup I use the witchfire. I do use volkuur and anger as well. And I've found a 1exa amulet so I gave it a try; and it works pretty well.

I allready have a 40% molten strike damage enchant on a starkonja (actually it's the reason I started this build); but I don't know if the +3 projectiles would be much more usefull. *
And for the elder ring, I don't know, it looks very expensive to me to get a little bit more dps and less mana leech...


*I've checked on PoB the starkonja gives me +11% dps. a starkonja with +3projectiles would be -6% dps but +1/3 projectiles so something like +25% dps depending on weither the projectiles hit the target or not. So yeah it might worth few exa. hmmm A Hrimnor resolve would be nice too for map clearing.
