    Benefits:

    A damage shield absorbs a set amount of POE2 Currency damage, preventing you from taking direct hits to your health.
    Cooldown reduction on your most vital defensive or movement abilities, giving you more opportunities to reposition or use shields again.
    Great for squishy builds that need a damage cushion or mobility-focused builds that rely on positioning and timing.
    5. Resistances + Debuff Resistance
    Some Defensive + Utility Hybrid Soul Cores combine elemental resistances or chaos resistance with debuff resistance, allowing your character to withstand not only the damage types but also the negative status effects (like poisons, curses, or debuffs) that come from high-level enemies.

    Example: A Resilient Soul Core could increase your elemental resistances (fire, cold, lightning) while also reducing the impact of negative status effects such as poison or curse debuffs. This would be especially helpful when facing enemies with high elemental damage and frequent debuff application, as it increases both your defense and your ability to remain active and effective in battle.

    Benefits:

    Increased resistances to all elemental damage types, keeping you protected from elemental-heavy enemies.
    Debuff resistance that reduces the effectiveness of debuffs, allowing you to focus on fighting without being hindered by status effects.
    Perfect for boss encounters or high-difficulty content where enemies often apply powerful debuffs to slow down or buy Path of Exile 2 Currency weaken you.
