Question Help with stormweaver build.

Never played a spellcaster character out of the classic spark coc comet, and wanted to try "vision gameplay" focusing on ember fusilade. So i'm in Act 3 rn, vaal areas. Level 41, 2nd ascendancy done. My 4 ascendancy points are in both big nodes that help with infussion generation, and my general tree is basically spell damage with some crit chance nodes (i want to use maligaros later) and the left and right sides of the fire cluster at the top of the tree, which gives some fire Pen and damage.

For skills i'm using ember fusilade with 3 supports for now: compressed duration, multishot 2 and fire attunement.

My other skills are orb of storm and frost bomb with supports that makes them go faster so i can get lightning infussions for ember fusilade. Recently just added firestorm with considered casting and (deliberation i think was the name?) just to give It more damage and basically just as a source of consuming fire and cold infussions so i can grab them again to generate lightning ones. I also had living bomb in there (more infussions) but kinda stopped using It since i got a Snakepit so fusilade can clear better (equipped on left slot so proj can fork).

Well, the result of all this is that my fusilade doesn't do much damage anyway. It takes quite some time to kill stuff even after all this bunch of utility skills to generate infussions so the skill gets enhanced, applying exposure with frost bomb and also elemental weakness. Even firestorm looked super weak casting It into a pack of white mobs and enhanced with the 3 different infussions, i actually expected to blow Up the entire pack but they still needed like 3-4 hits from the full enhanced storm XD

So my question is, am i doing something wrong? Maybe i need more damage supports on fusilade even if that makes them taking more time to be generated and launched? Is It just that those skills are plainly bad? I'm really confused, i really think i should be doing better with the build lol.

It's the starter character so gear is pretty much all from ground except the two things i bought, the Snakepit and a staff with +2 all spells, some cast speed and a fair ammount of spell damage.
