You gear is all over the place. I don't know what your budget is but look into the following:

1) 5L Belly of the Beast. BIS chest piece for this build. Boosts your HP a lot.
2) My rule is you want a life roll on every piece of gear, except for one unique slot. For this build I feel like Rat's Nest helm is the best point for that, since it offers a huge DPS boost.
3) None of your armor, rings, and amulet or rings have any life. If your currency is low, buy a cheap while 5L chest piece and a few essence of greed to guarantee a good life roll. It shouldn't be hard to hit 1 or 2 resistances on it.
4) On your rings, you want to focus on life and resistances that you need first. After that, look for WED or flat ele damage rolls.
5) Amulet, you want to make sure you have INT for requirements and Life as always. Look for WED again, high flat elemental rolls, crit chance or multi. Amulet is one of the most potent offensive slots in the game. If you can get some resistance on it it's nice, but I wouldn't focus on it.

Overall, the more life you have, the less you're going to die. At only 3.8k health, you are very susceptible to one-shots. That's the greatest danger to this build.

Work on your chest piece and jewelry.

I've got my character nearly fully geared up now. Not much left but incremental upgrades from here on out. I have to say that getting the 6th link makes an already high DPS build go into overdrive. Path of Building seemed to favor faster attacks over added cold, and it definitely feels a lot smoother using FA as well. I've got Conc Effect available on switch for bosses, but honestly the better range of Inc. AoE still feels better 90% of the time. There's plenty of damage available that the range feels like the better, and safer choice. Conc might be better for Uber Atziri/Izaro where you're going to be in tight quarters no matter what, but I even wonder about that.

T15 maps are a joke now. This build so lightning fast, and everything blows up in one channel of Flurry. Biggest concern is naturally ele reflect. Blew myself up a few times moving too fast and not keeping aware of the aura.

I've taken down Minotaur so far. First run was a major failure. First ever attempt on him, as I didn't get the map last league. Died twice on the way down so only had 4 portals for the boss. Stupidly died to his rocks twice. Realized his burrow attack most certainly needs to be avoided. Still managed to get him to half heath while playing like trash. DPS was definitely there.

Second run went "deathless". ("Deathless because he died first. I died to a rockfall after he did. D'oh!). Stuck with Increased AoE to avoid his wind-up attack and rocks. Went much smoother this way, damage was still crazy high without Conc. I'll be working my way to the other guardians, as well as attempting Uber Atziri soon.

Hey,

I'm trying to progress through rare yellow maps but I struggle to stay alive, so many things just one shot me. I'm lvl 87 now and I think my gear is decent enought to do yellow maps but no... I don't know how to link the gear here but GetSicEle is the char if someone want to have a look. (should be public).

So I wonder now, is it actually gear that needs to be improved (have a few exalts to spend), talent tree change to armor variant (without VP? How does reflect feel then?) or just git gud?

Armor wouldn't be worth the respec points. The only concern this build should have is the one-shot potential, and armor isn't overly effective against those hits. Evasion+Dodge and a high life pool should be sufficient enough, as long as you're manually dodging the obvious big hits. This build is fast enough with whirling blades and a high APS weapon that it should be easy enough to avoid those hits.

Your gems are the biggest concern I'm seeing. I don't see anything overly concerning about your gear or tree. The biggest issues are:

1) You aren't using Wrath, which is a big damage boost. If you don't have the INT to meet requirements, you can also use Anger which is flat fire damage instead of Lightning.
2) Herald of Thunder isn't very effective at cursing enemies given how quickly they should be dying. Herald of ice works much better. The ice explosion from the first dead enemies quickly curses the surrounding enemies, which give you the chance for power charges when they die.
3) You've got no flat elemental damage in your BF links. If you don't have the chromes to get 3B1G1R, at least replace faster attacks with added cold damage.
4) You should either drop fortify from Whirling Blades, or put it in a 4-link so you can use Blood Magic. The life lost per cast of WB is minimal, and easily leeched back. If you lack enemies, take a sip of your life pot.

This whole build is based on scaling up your elemental damage. Your gear reflects that, but your gem links do not. Switching to Wrath and Added Cold/Added Lightning will greatly boost your DPS output, which in turn greatly boosts your life leeching ability, which in turn boosts your survivability.

Your gear certainly can be improved if you want to spend the currency on it. Non-breach rings with more useful implicits. Amulet with INT to drop the +30 passive point. Personally, since this build is primarily evasion based, I prefer Armor/Evasion or ES/Evasion items to try and keep the evade chance close to 30% or so, while keeping the socket coloring manageable. ES is useless with Blood Rage. If you can cap out your resistances elsewhere, a Rat's Nest is a great DPS boost in the helm slot.

You can also make your tree a little more efficient. If you drop all the points from the Blood Drinker life node and the jewel socket above, and put the points into Golem's Blood and the jewel socket there, you'll save a passive point. (And neither the physical leech or regen are really relevant, so it doesn't matter which one you take. Both give 20% life with all 3 nodes). With the Fatal Blade cluster, it's better to take the 2 multiplier nodes than the single crit chance node. You you make the Golem's Blood change, you'd have the extra point to put there. Elementalist and Catalyze aren't overly effective points. You'd be better off going for Disemboweling for better crit chance and multiplier. You'd be point shy, so you'd probably be best dropping the 4% life node from Thick Skin.

Modified Tree

Whether it's worth the regrets or not is up to you. It won't change a ton, but it should boost your damage and better utilize the points available.

Mostly though, rework your gems and links and you should see some improvement.

Hello, i've been having alot of fun trying out this build, im doing the vaal pact tree but i have a problem with Herald of Ice, i have around 43% crit chance on both hands, but i stopped being able to freeze mobs, and now it mostly just shocks them, people suggested low Ice damage, could that be it?

And if it is what can i do to fix it, swap wrath with hatred?

You should let us see your character on the site here.

In Privacy Settings within your Account Settings.

But no, never use Hatred with an elemental build. Hatred scales off of physical damage and you deal none.
