That's the last one on my list. We'll see how the other ones go first...

You have to be using the Barrier. The eitr weave armor isn't as "Fragile" as it seems though. I made a huge mistake and got surrounded by 4 seekers, all of which got a solid hit on me, and with lvl 2 eitr weave, I still had around 30hp left (From about 180 base) that's 2 eitr foods and 1 health (misthare supreme, Yggradasil Porrige and Seeker Aspic)

You can survive 1-2 1 star seeker hits depending on how much your food has decated, but a 2 star seeker will 1 shot you at full health through armor. My MO when a 2 star seeker is seen is to not even risk it, an immediately bonemass.

However, with the barrier, you are always guaranteed to survive 1 hit from ANYTHING in the game, as it has no damage bleed (Mechanically referred to as 1 shot protection) even if the barrier has 1HP left. As you level Blood magic up, the barrier becomes so immensely strong, Blood magic is better protection that full armor and a shield.

I would recommend leveling your blood magic to at least 25 before going into the mistlands as full magic spec. And have a Frost staff. The slowdown effect is worth the DPS loss compared to the fire staff. SKeletons aren't really useful in the mistlands, the terrain is too jagged in most spots, but certainly assess your environment and make the best choice for the engagement at hand.
