@Roxas now that I have seen your build, I can see why you’re having difficulties. 200 STR builds are rarely, if ever, used in the Inn as players need to unleash as much damage as possible through big crits (200 INT) or DoTs (200 DEX). AFAIK the only instance that 200 STR is permissible in the Inn is if you’re confronting Wrath with Dragon Warrior (there are YT vids of that). Also, dock 20 points from WIS and place them in END. It’s risky at your level, but all HP and ImmoRes you can get can be more decisive. Item wise, here are my evals (do note that these are Inn standard evaluations across various foes that you might dare battle): Weapon: toolboxy, but should be fine (especially in case we get an Inn Siofra 2.0). Although I do recommend UOK as both of your target fights are not picky with elements, plus it offers more anesthetics (All resist). Depending on item combis, endgame players do have a tendency to have more +All than -Heal at high/max level. Cape: decent Ring: unless it’s DK, serviceable until you get either Defender’s Dragon Ring or either of the eldritch Inn rings (Tentacle of the Dominion, Void Chitin Band). Belt: yeah, you’ll need that in Egomaniacs. Otherwise, serviceable. Helm: serviceable, unless of course someone can find a better helm with FireRes. Necklace: odd choice, but an ok substitute for Sundragon Pendant. Belt: you’re right where you want when it comes to your current choice of battles. Trinket: nothing better for extra damage. Bracer: you might want to get Hero’s Armband if Shadowheart’s RNG is too crazy. Before going into any Inn battle, get the Hero Diet (Rotten Hardtack, Seaweed) and 5 HP/MP pots for contingencies. As for the fights, as I said for Undead Duo, Abomination first due to the DoT. You should be able to facetank Crawler’s blinds with either Necro or Techno. Egomaniacs is one of a decent sum of Inn columns/boards that encourage some significant degree of element-specific resistance buildups to win, so good luck getting the necessary stuff for those types of battles (in case you’re curious, they are the Weird Duo, Inn Sinnocence, Egomaniacs, The Unraveler, Ice and Dragons, Unending Empires, Doomed Reality). If it wasn’t clear yet through your encounters, the absolute rule in Egomaniacs is DO NOT take a (bathroom) break as Vaal’s Ego passive persists even when he’s KO’d. It also is rewarding if you could memorize the vain chaosweaver's action cycle so as to know which attacks you should evade as much as possible (the stun and anti-All skills). For your concerns regarding elemental resist calculations, it's been a long time already that we don't get the benefit of 100+ resists to elements. The previous iteration was that calculation was capped at 80 for any specific element, 95 if combined will All. The latest iteration is 80 for any combination of All+Element, 99 if subject to effects that further bolster resists. If not subject to resistance bolstering effects, debuffs that weaken Element, All, or Element+All resistance calculate as if you're at 80 if said resist exceeds 80. To help you visualize that, let's say you are level 90 and follow the cheap FireRes build in the Egomaniacs page of the Endgame wiki. That gives you a total of 86 All+Fire. Due to the resistance calculations, it will will weaken Fire-element attacks by 80%. However, if you're struck by Vaal's anti-All effect (-50 All, +50 Heal), that drops to 30%.
