Hello, you can see my character on my poe page, what should I change? thank you :)

Helmet:
I'm not a huge fan of Rat's Nest as helmet. This build does not have that much native life, so getting life on the helmet is a plus I think.

Belt:
You are also using Bisco's leash, which has no life either. I assume you want these items for MF, so this depends on the goal with your build. You are probably fine for most content with your current setup.
If you are aiming for higher tier content I recommend you to at least replace your belt and get a Stygian Vise with high life so that you can socket an abyss jewel with life and damage.

Gloves:
If you have Haku lvl 7, remove the crafted evasion (cost: 1 scouring) and put on mana instead. It gives you a little bit more survivability.


Shield:
You can use Blessed Orb to trim the implicit life of the Chernobog's, but you might as well also look for a spirit shield with life, resists, spell damage and spell crit chance.

Diamond Ring:
Not very good. The life roll is low and you benefit nothing from either of the attack damage mods (since we are using spells in this build).

Jewels:
The "Damnation Wound" Jewel is not very good. It only has one property we benefit from. I would replace that for a jewel with %life and 1-2 properties we want. The same is true for "Armageddon Glisten", where you have some resistances but no life and you don't benefit from the phys dmg affix. The Watcher's Eye jewel you have is not giving you much since our Phys dmg is so low (we are not scaling it at all).

Well, first of all those gloves lack life. That makes them worse than a pair of dual mod Shaper gloves that have life, but it's not only that...

The skills stack, but since the Slower Projectiles are counteracting the Faster Projectiles, you have conflicting skill gems that increase AND decrease the speed of the projectiles (also remember in PoE wording that Less is significantly stronger than Increased due to multiplicative rather than additive math caclulations).

If you think about it that way you could just have a pair of Shaper mana leech single mod gloves with a damage gem instead of Faster Projectiles. It's basically the same result you get with those gloves you linked. Probably better since I suspect the Slower projectiles "less" mod is making the Sparks travel even slower than Faster Projectiles can boost them.


Remember that Spark is your main clear skill. It doesn't need more DPS than it can clear out trash and blue mobs. Making the Sparks fast and spread out even outside the screen is more important than achieving that high DPS.

I would not recommend using those gloves over 2-mod Shaper's Gloves, even without life roll on them. I would probably even prefer using Kalisa's Grace if you are on a budget...

So I'm having a hard time choosing which shield to use: chernobogs pillar or the rare shield I am currently equipping. Can someone tell me which is better?
