Really liking the build so far. I've made a few tweaks (sucked it up and manually pathed to vaal pact until I can afford an acuity), but otherwise I have pretty good gear that lines up decently with most of the recommendations. Everything's going fine - except one thing.

Porcupines. How are you all dealing with porcupines in red maps with damage mods. I feel very safe with everything else.

I have about 5.5k hp, will be above 6k once I finish leveling and buy all the jewels I want. I keep a basalt running. I have 3 endurance charges up. I kill everything before it hurts me, I leech up instantly if I take any damage.

And then my brands jump into a porcupine pack offscreen and I'm dead before I even know what happened. I actually had to run through a terrace map with only one major damage mod skipping half the packs just to complete it today.

How are you all dealing with this? Very open porcupine maps where I can't hide behind things might as well be ele reflect for me right now.
