I've started playing this build this league. It seems rather hard to get a decent HP pool. I'm not 90 yet, but I seem to get jibbed a lot. The heal from the kingsguard seems to fall short in a few situations. I'm not sure either, but I thought maybe I was supposed to have more than 5k armor?

I will say that I can facetank quite a lot of stuff that other builds simply cant, but the problem is the lack of HP and armor.

Red elder was a pain the arse to kill, I couldnt 'ignore' all the fight mechanics because everything does way too much dmg to me and I simply dont have enough phys mitigation.

I know im missing a lot of gem quality and max level gems and as I know it a level 21/20 discharge/ele focus/conc effect still only gives me about 30k dps on top of what I have. I played around with it in PoB and came up with something close to 180k shaper dps if the target was shocked. So I opted into picking up a Vessel of Vinktar with penetration. The problem though is that during boss fights you have 1 use and its pretty much gone. Clearly not enough time during the vinktars flask effect to kill guardians etc.

My Scolds is 3 red 1 blue because I was trying to color it 3 red 1 green, so I dont have the BV setup going, but even with it I dont see it doing much for me.

not really, sure how to increase survivability beyond what I have, any advice?

I was able to kill the red elder and Phoenix so far, but they were very scary and not fun fights -- Phoenix map had zero threatening mods on it... ended up having to use almost all my portals on the red elder fight to get through it. Didn't have enough dps to save shaper during it either, so I had to fight him the rest of his 25% hp.

Also, I know im not running the surge swap. I'm trying to level up some empower gems at the moment, so the swap is somewhat of a burden to put in. My jewels are also not completely optimized either.

You're at lvl 84 with 4.8k life. You dont even use 5 power charges, your gems are at lvl 18-19, you dont use Arcane Surge buff, you're doing 40% of this build DPS and so on... Basically you have like half of the build right now and you're suprised that it cannot do deathless the worst content game has to offer? Im even suprised that this build at this stage was able to even do it after all. Like Phoenix/Guardian before all the portals run out... anyway...

This build can do end-game stuff (I mean real end-game) with lvl 90+ and lvl 20 gems. You need more lvls. Both on your character and gems.

This will be not yet maxed build. But it will make for a solid foundation for min/maxing jewels and gear. And it should do end-game content without much of an issues.

I thought perhaps it'd have more hp/armor. I know there are other builds that cost less and can do the same things this build can do in terms of content(even at my current level). I knew that there was a lot of stuff I was missing and was concerned because when I plugged in the foundation PoB told me it wasnt too drastically different than what I currently have.

I'm not saying the build is bad or anything. I do really like it, but just trying to voice my current overall concern about it to see if we could collectively try to increase defenses optimally for end game.

Nonetheless, thank you for taking a look in PoB, I had already done the same thing which is what arose my concern in the first place. :)
