Hey everyone,

This is my first ever playthrough of the game, I'm playing on Veteran and I've made it to Act 2 in Elite so far. I feel pretty squishy (Cabalist RE vitality caster)

My res are decent... except I apparently have never found gear with good offensive stats that also has Chaos res.

Build link above - are there any components I could use to up my Chaos res? (Suggesting what to replace would be excellent). Or are there some items I could go back to normal and farm that would be better in slot than anything I've got? (Or in Elite that are in Act 1 or 2 I could get to quick.)

I don't die a lot, but my health drops fassstttt. It goes back up without potions during combat because of damage to health type effects but I'm wondering what I should be doing "better".

I've followed a guide for skills/devotions but not for 'playing the game' or anything.

I appreciate any help/advice!!

Thanks

RE does just about 5k dmg w/ Blood of Dreeg and Possession active.. Is that low? I've seen some streamers doing 10-11k dmg doing solo self found by act 4 Normal. I don't have trouble killing mobs I guess, but bosses can be a slog.
Found new pants which give me Sigil of Consumption chance to cast and the belt gives me Doom Bolt chance to cast. Those are making a decent difference I feel at least.
