That's the root of problem.
I recommend having 6k HP, like i did. And with Daresso's Defiance/LC (6k with Kaom/Belly doesnt count). Then, you suddenly survive almost everything this game throws on you :).

But the gameplay feels very clunky with this combo; I don't like it at all. Also increase crit chance means more status ailments, especially more frozen mobs.
This slot is a matter of preference, really.

Clunky because of slower arrows? They still remain pretty fast... Unless you oneshot everything anyway, i dont see how this matters (and if you do, get Increased Critical Strikes or even Item Rarity)...
Though, if you really dislike it, you Increased Critical Strikes instead (or Increased Critical Damage VS bosses). With a bit of DPS loss, of course.

I followed the guide, but I'm too squishy at level 91.

I am able to handle 99% of the enemies, but there's that 1% that will kill me in 1-2 quick hits and bring my xp bar back to the beginning. Some are rogue exiles or map bosses such as that cheap fire fury lookalike at Crematorium map, that fire rain will drain my health from full to none in like half a second.

My evasion is at around 8300, all resist maxed, 4357hp. I can't seem to get more than this without sacrificing some huge amount of my dps (frenzy at around 70k without flasks).

Sometimes even a rare will destroy me before I am aware of the massive damage.

Other bosses such as malformation I don't even bother trying. Vagan can also be a problem sometimes, so I to avoid his dailies. There is also a Hunter mission that is deadly, the boss is a unique leaper that will jump like 5 times per second dealing massive damage.

These map modifiers are a no-no for me: temporal chains, beyond, reflect, +80% of some damage, vulnerability (this one ok on lower maps)

All this makes my process of leveling quite tough. By being level 91 I get almost no xp at maps under tier 9 and too risky on the higher tier maps.

My gear:

i think you want to pick up some mana leech. then i would lose 4 atack nods and pick up 4 health nods. also use artic armour istead of HoA if you still feel squishy.
once you have mana leech you dont need the mana flasks. pick up atziri's promise wich will make up for the loss of dps. and a granite flask as well as a speed flask for mobility. as a nit pick i would pick up the lethality nods you left out since crit multi is prety much the best stat to pick in the tree.

your dps will still be enough to solo most of the content. but your survivability will improve alot.
you have alot of health left in your tree. 29% more health will boost your hp alot. once you are happy with your survivability you can start improving your dps by getting a better bow or a 6 link for example.

As I said it's a matter of personal preference. For me the arrows are WAY too slow with slower proj (we already discussed this a few pages ago). And well yes, I do more than average damage, from 30K LA/GMP/Chain to 50k TS/GMP.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...

This was also my impression when I tried this combo, also with 6G

That's why this is only a guide and people can do what they prefer though

I prefer higher crit chance for reasons you stated, instead of tooltip DPS

i see alot of people talking about gem set ups, but noone mentions increased critical damage. it is about the same to me as slower projectiles in the tooltip. i use ts-gmp-ppad-pierce-fa-icd works realy well for me. u can also use assasins mark to make it even better.
We don't mention it much because Increase critical strikes performs equally well and use less mana. I'd rather get more critical strikes than harder ones.

Increased Critical damage may show decent DPS tooltip,but in fact, it works well only when you're fighting tough enemies (bosses, champs, etc). Average trash gets oneshotted by crit anyway.

So is my setup okay so far or should i change it?

AOE
SA - PPAD - FA - Chain - Added Fire DmG - (If i get 6l ill put LL or ICM ?)

Single Target
Frenzy - PPAD - FA - SP - Added Fire DmG - (If i get 6l ill put ICM ?)


I saw some use instead of Added fire dmg, WED. Why is that?
And i saw that some othe use as 5th link physical to lightning...
Could someone explain me the differences?.
Thanks.

Gem, that increases critical multiplier, is called "Increased Critical Damage" (ICD).

WED is good for DPS tooltip if you already put AFD or PtL or you use LA/Ice Shot. Otherwise it's BAD choice. It increased elemental damage only though, so you may need to stack more leech on gear to compensate.

PtL provides shock, which may drastically increase clear speed VS packs. Its downside is that it cuts your physical damage by half, and so does your life/mana leech (you need to stack more leech on gear to compensate).

SP (instead of AFD) grants physical damage boost, which cant be resisted and provides leech. However, some players find it uncomfortable to run with slower projectile speed.

Your setup is OK, but i'd suggested to try other options as well (full physical with SP, and shock with PtL) for your AoE skill.
And you netter go full physical with 1-target setup, as hitting 1 target doesnt provide much leech.
