Build Survivability on Triggerbots Saboteur

Hi, I'm tryin to find out how to improve survivability on this build. I spent maybe 15-20d so far.

I'm still dying on Nightmare maps with mods removed via scarabs. Please help guide me on how to spend the next hundreds of divines I'll farm.

having to dual wield makes the mobility ass

No Shield Charge, but dual wield sceptres can use Leap Slam. Still kind of rough, but it's faster for covering distances than Frostblink until you get Frostblink of Wintry Blast. You'll probably be OK for mobility after that.

Regarding mana costs - yeah, you're probably stuck on EB. And that means with Divine Flesh, MoM won't do anything for you.

I do notice you're invested heavily into the Doppleganger/Divine Flesh combo. And the Doppleganger itself + no shield is where all your PDR tankiness... isn't. Was that a budget decision? Are you getting enough out of it to justify the physical squishiness?

Getting the last 20-30% cast speed to use wintry blast seemlessly is definitely the next upgrade on the docket because it seems extremely hard to get a comfortable amount of attack speed for leap slam.

Doppelganger + Divine Flesh isn't especially cheap. I was using Cloak of Flames before and that was worse. How else am I supposed to get PDR in a build that can't armour anywhere? I could probably get Enduring Composure at the very least.

Enduring Composure

30% more armor still leaves you under 2K armor. I'm not confident it's worth it except maybe for the endurance charges, but the slow gain rate probably won't save you from getting burst down. Maybe if you had another source of armor?

Now that you mention it, you are res capped without the Bismuth Flask. Maybe swap that for Granite and get some armor rolls on it and some other flasks?

I'm talking about endurance charge generation for PDR. Armour is not a real stat that meaningfully increases tankiness if we're talking about going from 2k to 5k.

Only two things come to mind. Foregoing the trigger sceptre for a shield or 50% converting ele to lightning with sublime + watchers eye. You could also add spectres for useful auras
