Anyone wanna review my 1st build ever (tips if need be)? Static Strike Assassin

This is my 1st build after 4 days of starting poe. With the builder for 1 hr last night.

It's a static strike assassin, with other lightning skills too, maybe lightning strike, tho I wanted a melee style & Lightning strike is kinda range. I'll have to see a list of other melee lightning skills to know, once I lvl this char. (Smite has lightning, tho not in love with its style, so maybe?) Obviously not a meta build, tho unique.

Most ridiculed static strike on chat, as being underplayed / non meta. Tho I still like it.

The only static strike build posted within a few months of todays date, is a static strike slayer build on youtube (2 people using it). Tho to be honest, I find assassin's area on the skill tree better for this buiild. As slayer isnt even near most of the lightning % passives. So they both went for duel sword passives. I personally don't want to be pigeon holded into having to use claws or swords only for this build.

My build: https://pastebin.com/r8gwUkMg (copy full code, not link to import)

Here's the slayer build a few people are using recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLBxSR_FSfQ&t=31s

I find my skill tree, better than their static strike slayer skill tree; as assassin. For other reasons too.

Anyhow, do I have too much crit? too much evasion? I hope people don't tell me to rid my lightning passives either, I'm gonna test them eitherway.

Also I figured lvl 91 is a good lvl for a casual player like myself, for all my builds.

Other than that I'm getting 404 403 errors on pastebin exports, so your gonna have to paste the whole code (not the link itself). No forum page has a pastebin fix on those export errors. (Already registered, waited a day, made multiple pastebin links, & entered the whole code for the builder to generate fresh links multiple times, & tried other bin site alternatives, nothing worked)



P.s. I already made 3 out of 9 alts who are copying other peoples builds, I don't want to copy others builds anymore, its so boring. I only copied because they are niche builds that don't have room to jack up, like hp aura templar summonner or burning arrow chieftain. Witch on the other hand seems the easiest to build for, if going for a dps build.

P.s.s If the jewels do unlock more passive lightning skills, than I still have 8 skill points left to 100 for that, if I want to farm endgame that much (so far it seems a waste of time, especially since I like making a lot of alts already).

P.s.s.s I'm not gonna reach that far to get the passive " Elemental Overload " as its just too many points spent on int. Still, I'm curious, about the effects of that passive skill. Like would trading / negating the melee crit multiplyers, ever be worth the extra 40% elemental dmg (for melee users - obviously for witch it'd be a more realistic option - tho for melee elemental damagers?) Disregard where it's located on the tree, just talk about the skill itself please.

Lastly, generally speaking, should I go crit at all? Or just rid my crit % for something else?

I'm also wondering if I should trade (fleet floot 3 points - bot right of tree - evasion / movement skill cd reduced) for that int large 3 point needed Int based jewel spot (at top right of tree). Or trade a different passive for the int jewel? or not.
20vs20 group pvp updates (for the main game, not royal). Siege vs siege maps. Randomized & shuffled passive trees. Bigger trees +30 point updates.

Large towns hosting 100+ people; bard taverns. A field near town for guild events. Not hideouts like WoW-Garrisons. Outside like Ragnarok Online.
