You can always run Perfect Form - free AA + free Phase Acro.
Also the defenses on the Perfect Form don't look that good. How much does that "uncapped resistance" thing add?
Whatever your uncapped cold resistance is. For instance, I'm currently at 105% cold res (after -30% the reduction from the chest). That means my evasion rating is increased by 105%. I don't have the best stats at the moment, but while wearing the chest I have 2700ish ES and over 11K evasion. If I remove the chest, I drop to 2K ES and 4K evasion. If I put on Hyrri's Ire (with the max evaszion roll) I'm at almost 12K evasion (300 away), and over 3K ES. Respectable? Sure. But I lose free Phase Acrobatics and I actually do have room in my build for arctic armor + 3 other auras - so for me, it works. It's also worth mentioning going with Hyrri's Ire drops my life from 5K to 4600, which is basically the difference in ES. Also, I have no use for the cold damage/chill stats, so it's not that impressive to me. Now, if I put on Atziri's Splendor (pure evasion) my evasion drops to 9K, but my ES stays at over 3K. The evasion + ES version boosts my ES to 3800, but my evasion drops to 7100. All-in-all, I personally feel that The Perfect Form is BiS, when you consider not only the defenses, but its value. A "free" aura (at the cost of a socket) and a free Keystone passive are kinda tough to beat IMO, especially when the difference in global defense is marginal.
EDIT: My total uncapped cold res is 119%. My bad.
Sounds interesting, but the cheapest 6L is like 7ex.
I actually tested something, I can run Flesh and Stone, Dread Banner, Arctic Armour, Malevolence in the Devouring Diadem without the Empower support and still have enough unreserved Mana for Mom + Eldritch Battery, so a free Artic Armour wouldn't do that much.
While Hyrri's Ire gives me some useless cold stats, the flat attack/spell dodge should stack nicely with Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics, right?

I went the Perfect form route for my chest. Saved for it like a madman, my other gear is still from what I bought at level 60.
I'm a new player and I'm wondering, if I should skip Acrobatics now that I get Phase Acrobatics from the chest, since Acrobatics also has a downside of lowering my energy shield. Or just free the point from Phase Acrobatics and leave the other ones as they are.
I didn't have to think much until tier 6+ maps, there I have been killed many times, so I'm taking MoM and EB now also. Replacing Tabula Rasa with The Perfect Form should do wonders for my defence also.
Good game by the way, haven't been this hooked in any game for a long time! Glad I tried it again, didn't get it the first time I tried it, played only until act 3 back then.

I see a lot of people running without a lot of defenses on their gear and with just MoM + EB. I've also tried it myself, but it seemed very oneshot prone to me. Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics is a LOT of defenses for just a couple of skill points and compared to evasion it's not RNG based.
With my current setup I feel quite secure and pretty much have no random deaths anymore.
I would advise to look at my skill tree if you're new and using Perfect Form. I don't recommend MoM + EB, and i definitely don't recommend pointing into Acrobatics.

What I don't understand is where your build takes it's survivability from.
Or is it more of a glass cannon?

I have 6000hp, 1000ES, Vaal Grace with Increased Duration, and 4 defensive flasks. It's not very easy for me to rip. You're not using Perfect Form so my passive tree does not apply to you.

I have never played ED/Contagion before but i feel like i should do more damage but i don't know how.
Could you guys help me i'm kinda lost. I do know that i should upgrade to a 5L, level Gems to 20 (and quality them), more life on each item and so on.
But i dont know what to buy next? I have read x pages ago of some unique gloves but i dont find the post anymore. There is also a shield and boots i guess?
What gem combos are there? I would like to keep bane as my single target dps booster (besides this bane helps to kill mobs that contagion/ed didn't hit), or would be blashpemy + despair good enough? Are there other possibilities?
Here is my current gear, i know its crap, i bought some items after 10 kitava to have capped ressis:
Are there any important key nodes i'm missing out? I would have just aimed for some jewel slots now. I Don't feel i need wicked ward. And for uber lab, would you say swift killer or prolonged pain is better?

Fair enough.
Edit: Also Vaal Grace would fit well into my build, I didn't know it added flat dodge chance to attacks/spells.
Thanks!
Edit: Although it's probably not worth it, since it's so short without increased duration. I'll probably stick with my version.
