the problem with ascetics is that they hit often not that they hit hard, for ascetic proofing the item that reduces the duration of buffs and or the new shielding item might be more usefull but I havent tested it
I might end the run soon, I am at loop 26 and the damage I take is 0 damage ticks, I've spent over 2 hours on this and I have a couple of other ideas that I wan't to test.
