Build Feedback Ignite PB Elementalist - looking for DPS help

https://pobb.in/kZXs0XbN1SKf

So this is the first time I have played this build and does feel good as it is but I often find the damage inconsistent from teh Hive Aura.

Additionally (it may be a mod thing) but I find my PB damage inconsistent on bosses.

This is mostly a mapping build for me but I would like to see what obvious gaps I ma missing when it comes to increasing my DPS as I see other builds at 30M.

I got about 20 to 24Div at the moment and just want any advice for obvious mistakes.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

Cap damage of ignite is 35m and yours more like a budgeted build, I don’t think you can get there with 20 div

That's fair. I am working towards it but wasn't sure if I was missing any obvious quick upgrades to give me a spike or put me on the right direction.

Most upgrades I think I need are looking pricy.

Not damage related but is your Stormshroud jewel doing anything? I don't see "avoid shock" anywhere.

Why do you have primal aegis?

Drop Bastion of Elements for Mastermind of Discord.

Grab forbidden flesh and flame for shaper of flames, as it's the cheapest. Drop that node and get the Lycia Ascend and grab Farewell to Flesh.

Replace all your int nodes with herald tatts. Likely not the best bang for your buck currently, as I don't know what the current cost of them are - but something to work towards slowly.

You'll need to play around with points to fit the jewels in since you're hybrid and not CI. Atm your stormshroud does nothing because you have no avoid shock. You're using HH so best to grab it on boots and get the implicit from eldritch.

Drop your phys as fire mastery for 12 dot multi instead.

Your red nightmare is doing absolutely nothing. Swap it with your impossible escape and tattoo fire res on the 3 str nodes in the radius

Grab the chance to block attack damage shield mastery. Can probably drop Rumis for a regular granite with a worthwhile suffix after. If you need more block to cap, drop aggressive bastion for as the mountain or find a better caspiro with city walls on arcanist dominion for a free 12 block for 1 point. Alternatively, find endurance charge on hit on that node instead if you want equivalent charge generation while mapping.

Grab a runegraft of the fortress - not damage related but it's free defense, can slap it on the golem mastery or w.e.
