I am trying to figure out what the problem is.

Each and every life I make, even with all my reaper points in Grim Barricade, I am still fairly aware at how low my PRR/MRR are, and I continue to get 1 hit killed on R1-R10 content fairly easily. I follow builds I like, but every time people are just joking: Whose going to be the gimp who dies in R1? My character has a great deal of time invested into it, and the character is over 12 years old. I pass it off as not really focusing on end game gear, because I am trying to get some of the content I missed like Racial Past lives completed, and immediately TR at 20 or 30/32. - I also deal with a lot of flack by people pointing out I'm not using level 32 gear on a level 29 character for example, like it's possible to do. I just feel like either 1) I'm being too hard on myself, and I'm just not focusing on the build as much as I should due to only taking it to level 30 to ITR. or 2) Other people have something I don't, and I have no idea what that might be. I raided for years back at level Cap 28, but I missed a lot of things having only recently returned. Such as Reaper Points not being a thing at Cap 28. So I'm struggling to get as many as possible. I had 32, but how do I invest better when I am literally following builds, and putting the extra points (because many are 1st life builds) into Constitution. I just don't understand what causes me to have a 48-50 Con, and someone casually has 80 while still having a higher primary attribute than I do. - How exactly can you do this? I have the gear, in fact we have identical gear, points spent in AP, points spent in ED trees. how can someone have 30 Constitution higher than my 3rd life Completionist character so casually while using identical everything. Is there something I am missing? Their numbers also don't add up either, their PRR/MRR is also nearly twice mine at the same level. - Again, is there some kind of bug players are exploiting for this? I almost have as many Reaper Points spent in Grim Barricade as they do. Is this a bug I should report? - Character is far weaker than character of same race/class/AP/EDP, and similar points spent in Reaper.

Do you have a specific example of your build/ballparks of where your stats are at? In general, it's probably due to lots of tiny bonuses stacking up—alchemical, exceptional, profane, artifact, etc. etc. etc.

Last Life we played 20 Rogue Assassin/Vistani mix. My stats were 52 Dexterity, 48 or 50 Constitution, 48 Intelligence, and the rest were around 30-40. They have casually much higher on everything, especially Constitution which was 30 points higher. We spent a 3 RP difference in Grim Barricade, but my health in Reaper was about 1,300, they had 2,200. We wore the same exact items, had the same AP spent the same way, as well as with Epic Destiny. About the only difference was their Reaper points spent in Dread Adversary, which was 12, which they have 15 more RP than I do.

con:
18 base
2 comp
2 racial comp
2 racial lives
8 tome
14 item
6 insightful
3 quality
2 profane
2 exceptional
4 alchemical
5 reaper
2 reaper helm
2 lasting pot
2 VKF capstone

74
blood rage 82

I’m missing 3 somewhere, haven’t looked through the build closely enough to find it, but hopefully that gives a bit more of an idea. That con is actually not bad for a newer endgame player, but the dex is really low-dex should be all of the above+3 more from lives+10+ more from feats and enhancements+more from artifact bonuses and a better enhancement bonus.

edit: I forgot guild and festive. that's 78, not sure which 1 tronko's not running (no lasting pot, 1 more from somewhere else would be my guess)

How many filigrees you have slotted on your artifact and weapon? That can be a chunk of stats.

You say you have identical gear, but what about augments? Sounds like your friend is slotting Vitality and False Life while you are not.

Epic past lives also account for a considerable amount of PRR and HP. Your friend probably has all of the Divine epic past lives (36 PRR) plus the PDK lives (9 PRR), along with all 12 primal past lives for 180 HP.

Lastly, there is a *huge* difference between R1 and R10. Getting one shot on R10 happens. Getting one shot on R1 means something is seriously lacking with your character.

If the OP could post screenshots of their heroic/epic trees, past lives, feats, and each piece of gear from in-game then we could break down everything pretty easily for what's missing and/or where changes could be made to improve things.

Im pretty skeptical honestly - the numbers dont add up - given the information we have 48 con ass/vist build the minimum amount of HP possible outside of reaper is 1441 at 32

160 Rogue
120 Epic Legendary
608 Con
220 Style
45 Heroic Durability
1153 Total before multipliers
x1.25
1441 Total after multipliers

Both VIstani and assassin have +25% competence bonus to HP in T5

This calc is excluding ship buffs/false life/ reaper points etc if we include reaper (assuming first 21 points in Grim Barricade as is usually recommended) this increases to 1814
