Playing Trickster. Should I use The Vertex or Crown? If The Vertex, what should I socket in it?

Check the POBs, the information depends on WHICH Trickster.

Hey Cassie, thx again for your help previously. Another question:

Do you think it's time to make a switch to lightning conduit with this gear/lvl?

I'm still dying frequently on high lvl maps so perhaps trading off galvanic field's mobility for more dmg is not the best idea?

And just to clarify: does orb of storms provide shock more consistently for LC or is it ok to keep using arc?

I'd recommend you 6L arc, 4L field. See updated POB for gem priorities. I'm not seeing anything hugely wrong with your gear or tree, just a bunch of small stuff, so it's more likely to be the map mods you're running. If you are trying for level 100, the safe way is running t16s as magic.

Blue t15-16 is what I'm usually running. Perhaps it's possible to create a tri-defence tanky version of trickster? What's the first thing you'd go for to reduce Phys DMG?

Thanks!

Take the evasion trickster, and use determination instead of wrath, granite over quartz, molten shell over steelskin. Try and invest in belt/boots upgrades, that's the most flexible slots for ES budget increase.

Upgrading for power charges will help, rings and helmet corruption. If you can't find vertex +1 max (i've noticed it's especially expensive), crown of the inward eye +1 max is fine. If you follow the below advice and dump a bunch of points into ES then crown will have more damage too.

You can consider respeccing your tree as a map specialist, with things like chaining range and more ES nodes, at the expense of damage (first thing i'd drop is the shockgroup next to eldritch battery, or skip the elemental mastery left of templar). Make sure to keep cluster jewel(s), those are top priority for damage passives. You can drop your suppression chance down some in favor of massive energy shield nodes instead. Get armor mastery for 3% damage and 120% armor with ES active. Just a lot of trading damage for defense essentially.

More specifically, you should replace crit on the tree with power charges on ring(s), and maybe drop one of your two large clusters. And also think about dropping a bunch of suppression for ES.

I have no clue why this thing get completely one shot by almost everything.
Not sure if you could look, but the only thing I am missing is the corrupt rings (I recently qualitied my gems so dont mind that as of yet), but already 4div in and survivability is trash. Damage is manageable but I cant expect much because of the missing rings and better gems.

It looks like you're playing the basic armor version, you can get more survivability out of one of the other POBs. Gear is roughly the same. I'd recommend using the evasion trickster version for a while, and consider one of the Inquisitor setups long-term.

You're missing a lot more than just rings. Your gems are low level, your shavs is 5-linked, and your flasks aren't enchanted. Fixing each of these issues will help immensely. Monsters can't kill you if they're dead!

I'm kinda struggling right now in gear progression. I really need the shav but it is expensive and cannot do some higher tier maps. Any "cheap" upgrades I can do while I farm for shav?

Nothing obvious. Maybe check my atlas tree in the guide for a better money making strategy, shavs is really cheap for me. You're missing a lot of really helpful mastery points in the passive tree, double check those and fix that, it should help. Also update your imported POB, I've made some improvements to the build since the beginning of the league. Consider going with the evasion version, based on what i see of your character, you seem to be capable to understand it.

Completely forgot about the flash enchants. I recently also qualitied my gems thus the low level.

Tried doing expedition because I skipped that league and everything is stupid tanky and normal mobs one shot me on t11 maps oof.
