Average Chaos Before Maps

How many chaos do you guys normally have before you start mapping in a league?

Depends on HC or not and it's pretty build dependent. Usually it's just as much as i've been lucky enough to get within the other requirements of the build. I would think if you can get close to 0 you should be good on most builds that aren't lowlife or hybrid early on. Probably depends on if you are good at knowing how to spot it on mobs and which content it is more needed for. It certain does seem to become important at some point in maps, i'm not exactly sure when that is. A fair amount of my HC deaths have some from not having enough.

For players that are pushing xp race in map, unsure with what value they use, if they need a set value or push the limits on it. Haven't watched a lot of racing beyond campaign myself.

Bit of a misunderstanding, but I meant how many chaos orbs do people usually have, not how much chaos resistance. Sorry I didnt clarify in the original post

Lol! I see.

Some leagues I remember having only a couple, the past few league I think I've had a fair bit more than that by maps, relating somewhat to interacting with the league mechanic or if I side tracked to heist. If it is trade league I would of been holding them, unless I purchase something with them, or maybe found something worth trading to get a few. In SSF I may of used a few, say on the crafting bench.

I would say about 5, pretty rough guess though and changes a lot depending on league. Lot of changes this league, I was only counting exalts, which was 2-3.
