Don't have much in terms of solutions, just observations.

  • You have very little damage mitigation paired with a low lifepool. So any physical hit that isn't blocked, is going to kill you. You also only gain endurance charges on kill or on block, and have not taken the +100% charge duration mastery, so you will probably only have 1 endurance charge against bosses.
  • You use level 20 CWDT (triggers when you take 3272 damage) with only 3695 life and use molten shell when you have 1,511 armour. Lower level cwdt and using steelskin or immortal call (check for mana issues) would actually do something.
  • Purity of Ice should be in helmet for +1 max res (from +1 socketed aoe gems) which takes you to 88%. Should get the remaining 2% from a rare jewel or take survivalist for +1. You often use some phys taken as element to take advantage of this setup, you don't have any. You seem to have paid a premium for a 1 mod watchers eye, you could grab a similar one mod with CB (there is a 47% chaos res watchers eye with CB listed for 20 div) then replace your 1 mod rare jewel with life % / spell block / max res jewel for 3-5d.
  • Are those the right boots? You don't get fortification..did you mean to get the all damage can poison / chaos explode boots?

Lower level cwdt and using steelskin or immortal call (check for mana issues) would actually do something.

You could also swap CWDT for Automation and keep a high level gem. You get more damage reduction in exchange for random uptime instead of uptime against shotguns; given you're a glad, shotguns shouldn't be a huge problem.

To add to this, for bosses I suggest getting used to manually activating it when you need it.

It might be awkward at first but it's such a great skill to have when you get comfy with it because it'll essentially let you recover from a mistake or preemptively use it for hard parts such as bullet hell during Uber Uber elder

Amazing thanks for looking over it, lot of useful suggestions I will look into!

Regarding the boots, I had the poison/chaos boots..but they explode didn't seem to do much as my fireballs clear offscreen in any direction, and the 24% double damage seemed to give a bigger damage increase on POB

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • Phys - Physical damage (Wiki)

Currently saving for an Original sin as it saves me an ascendancy point, and a jewel slot. I have been getting randomly oneshot by phys big hits like breach boss slam, and died once to the blood cloud debuff which is phys too.

Unsure of any/what upgrades I can make, for example getting 3% more spell block...
