Hey Weesary.

A very VERY important quote from my guide: "Life, life life! get as much life as possible".

This is a rule that you didn't follow;
*Helmet has no ressistences and no life.
*Chest has no life and barely any ressistence.
*Gloves, belts and boots are okay.

Jewelery:
*Amulet, for your level, is ok. You'll eventually need crit chance and/or multiplier + life.
*Blood Whorl ring has no life, and overall isn't a good ring to use.

Weapon:
I do know that for a beginner its hard to get a decent rare staff until you get PoH.
But I offered in 'Budget' section in guide (which means - low cost yet viable gear) to use Taryn's Shiver unique staff. It's a cheap staff, and effective for this build when you are low on currency.

Are your ressistences capped? (when you're in any town on Merciless difficulty you should have 75 Fire, Cold and Lightning ressistences. If you don't have them capped you will die a lot).
I remind you that in Mecriless you have -60% ressistence penalty, means to get 75% ress you need 135 ressistence for each type (75+60).


Bottom line:
*Replace Helmet and Chest for new ones with life [aim for 70+ life] and at least dual ressistence [make your calculations to reach 75%]. I assume you keep this helmet for the dexterity, but its okay and better to spend a point in the passive tree for +30 dex node.
*Get a new ring with high life [50+] and ressistences.
*Get a 5L Taryn's Shiver staff.

Good luck!

Cold pen is more powerful. But when i made this build swap gems having right color was more important for swap gems.

If you had cold pen then when swapping Ice nova to Flame surge on boss fights you were wasting a gem because cold pen did nothing.

So two reds were left in staff to chose two between three gem
Life Leech
Empower
Cold to fire

Now as we approach 200K I'm not so sure if we even need to swap. DPS is not the problem anymore and swap not needed. And I maybe go back to pen.
