Will really appreciate if someone can help with some guidance. I am totally new to the crit build and only came back to the game after quite a while

Problems:
1. Shield charge to/near group and die. Feeling still squishy even though I took advice buffing defense over dps. Totem placement is too slow that I got swarmed by mobs by taking too long to place the spell totem. And have to cast the totem every 2 shield charges away
2. Buying 10-20c upgrade that ended up not so great upgrade. So it is like wasted money. I think I spent wrongly. Any guidance on the gear upgrades would be greatly appreciated. I have 5ex to spend
3. Apart from flask, how do you heal with this build? I came from EDC build and feel that build tougher and can heal pretty well

I have 19k dps tool tip unbuffed. Level 84 and can barely do t10-t11 without deaths. Above that, I can die easily if not carefully charge

Apologies for broken English

Got impulsive and got a new dagger for 2ex - no idea whether it was worth the price. Tooltip shows 29k dps unbuffed now after few tweaks. Any suggestion on next upgrades?

Get a yoke of suffering amulet. It's better but it won't show up as a boost to tooltip dps. It's hidden, very well hidden in fact. You'll be able to shock through cold damage which makes up over 75% of our damage type and shock is based on the damage of the hit at the time. When we crit, we apply ignite, chill and shock so that's an extra 15% damage through the amulet itself + shock damage bonus. And it has some resist

Also get a helm with "place an additional mine" this helps a lot in clearing map where you'll drop 4 mines always instead of 3 and that's not including the saboteur's ascendency 20% proc for an additional mine. It doesn't need to have the other shaped affixes, just the one with remote mine + additional mine as that bonus is global. Careful what you slot in the helmet through, EG I've got CWDT + IC + Improved Duration and Stone Golem and it's since linked to that helmet, My stone Golem is summoned via Mines hahaha.

I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice.

I am loving my damage, but I'm so incredibly damn squishy. Like frustratingly so. It feels like I can't level up because I keep dying. I almost want to just give up the build cause i cant build exp, and forget about trying to do abyss in maps.

It's not like I neglected life - I'm at 152% on my tree, but its only translating to 4.67k life. That's way too low.

I know that I'm only lvl 81, but red maps are kicking the shit outa me. Am I trying to run before I should walk? Does mapping just suck with this build? I'd really like some guidance. I feel like my gear is pretty solid.

Thanks for any help!

Still leveling, but having fun so far. I was 5 linking gc,remote,minefield, PtL (conversion),and trap/mine damage. I got Tabula, and was wondering while super budget like I am, should I roll inc. crit for 6 link for trash versus inc. area if the aoe seems ok? I ask cause inc. Aoe gem doesn't seem to add much that I can see. I'm using conc. for bosses still.

Also, it seems that PtL has the "extra" damage mod that is hard to beat on top of conversion. Is the long winter jewel for conversion and aoe better than replacing inc. crit with PtL? Yes I'm sure I could pob it but, on phone away from pc (shitty phone). Thanks in advance.
