Holy Shotgun Survivability Issues

Hi!

I’ve been following along on some of the streams, but when I push past GR 80, I can kill things reasonably well to stay ahead of the time, but the build is currently just a massive glass cannon. 1 hit and I am down, the stone gauntlets can’t even pump my armor by 50% because I’m dead. What do I need to do to up the survivability and be able to take the occasional hit?

My opinion
Maybe swap red gems on chest to diamond gems, also get a pants with sockets & put diamonds,
Reroll life on hit on bracer and maybe also weapon, if still insufficient.

I use an Esoteric gem, it helped me a lot to survive the random offscreen charger/shooter/jumpers.

3 steps and you will be invulnerable.

  • Stone Gauntlets in Cube;
  • Invigorating Gem instead of Pain Enhancer;
  • Akarat Champion - Prophet + Iron Skin - Flash.
    With CDR ~65% you will forget any survivability issue.

My problem is when the mobs are dead/sparse so your buffs die down but stuff can kill you like the pools in the swamp maps.
