My champion needs help

[sensation]

The first character I ever started on titan quest is a champion. But now he has some problems.

First of all, because of my unknowing about the game, I also spended attribute points in health, energy and intelligence. I'm now at level 34 i think with 300 strenght and about 200 dexterity i think.

Because my character was so bad, I just played with him on the place were he got. Not going further in the game. He is now at medea.

In every fight he is close to dead, but he's resistance are good... The elemental resistances are all above 75%. Posion is 70% but pierce resistance only 33% . But with battle it is 48%. (Edit: When i'm wearing my other set, with shield, my pierce resist is around 74 without onslaught)
Still he dies always.
His dps with onslaught is about 600.

I'll post my stats as soon has possible, because ,when i was making it on the titancalc, I noticed that I don't know it perfect anymore. I think its something like This
Edit: Exact build: click

The build doesnt look that bad. But I am somewhat confused. Medea? at 34??? I am guessing that's a typo.

Anyhow, the build does not have anything radically wrong with it, I might have maxxed out the warfare side before climbing the nature tree, but still, nothing wrong with having more stats.

The attribute points in health/energy/int might come back to bite you later on, depending on how much you spent. But for now, esp since it's your first toon, I would concentrate on killing mobs, and collecting gear. That way, your 2nd toon goes *much* smoother than the first one did.

It is an old character. I made later a bow brigand who got to cerberus

Now level 37 (just 38) at medea

Exact build:
Click

My resistances:

Dual wielding:
primairy resists: 80/80/80/70/33 (48 with onslaught)
secondary resists: 0/0/0/42/0 (I have only stun resist (42)

Weapon + Shield:
Primairy resists: 74/80/79/70/74 (80 with onslaught)
secondary resists: 0/0/0/42/0 (I have only stun resist (42)

tbh ur main problem is that ur point were put in wrong but to help ur build a small bit ,u shud take 5 points out of ignore pain, pt 1 point into ancetral horn and then the other 4 into 3rd synergy of the plague tree.cuz that will help u bring down the defense of bosses by a gd bit and the ancestral horn will gice you a little back up and maybe a distraction for bosses aswell.

Hope dat helps

resistances are what really worry me


max pierce resistance ASAP. don't worry TOO much about the others until epic (except for poison resistance when you reach cerberus) but you really really need that pierce resist. act 4 archers will just murder you otherwise.

your build is pretty good. couple of quick things though:
1) if you don't have the community patch, don't get triumph. it's bugged and makes your battle standard weaker instead of stronger.
2) keep the dual wield base skill at 1 point for now and max cross cut instead; it hits more than 1 enemy so it's more useful.
3) i'd keep dodge attack at 1 point, unless you're willing to take points out of ardor instead. reasoning explained below.
4) with the points left over from dual wield and dodge attack, get heart of oak to as high a level as possible. more health = good.
5) if you're still having trouble, leave ardor at 1 point to finish HoO and add whatever's left into dodge.

other than getting better gear, this is all i can think of.

oh, and work on wolves in Epic difficulty since they'll actually be useful then. good luck!

could it be I die so much because of 0% vitality resist? Just wondering...
