Helmet

Rare Hubris Circlet

You can craft a Hubris Helmet by using Dense Fossil + Aberrant Fossil.
This will get a -9% chaos resistance mod to monsters nearby you and buffing your damage. I personally like the second option most, but it's very RNG based and can take loads of attempts to get a High ES + -9% chaos res.

You can craft it with Dense Fossil, Alterations or Chaos Spam.
