I find I'm not always at full life, would it be better to run efficacy / swift affliction instead?

What u guys think of my Idea of a little bit more Defensive Approaching?

Since iam Trying a Crit BUild with TR, i was thinking of Romiras Banquet combined with Volls Devotion, which should give Constant Power Charges (Assassin Ascendany Tree) + Constant Endurance Charges (Volls) + Constant Frenzy Charges (Blood Rage). Combined with Immortal Call + Inc Duration, i Should be Quite off solid vs Phys Damage.

Or is the IDea Garbage and i didnt think something through enough?

Also Note that i Add Double Curse with Rain Of Arrows and the Knockback on Crit Node. That Setups Removes tanky Enemies from the Screen in a Heartbeat, so it cant Phys Damage Reach me. This also Adds constant 40 Virulence (Sad that they cap at 40 :( ). For Some Reason Rain of Arrow constantly Crits like Nuts eventho i didnt even really Start my Whole Build yet lol.

Experementing in this Game is so fun, eventho i usually fail.

It's up to you. I tried both and i personally prefer swift + efficacy.. the dot damage is insane. Some people like the increased duration + swift aswell.
Try em out and see what u like. They all serve their purposes, but I found the swift + efficacy combo to be the best all round. If you want back loaded damage, you go with duration + swift, if you want big pod explosions and higher poison dmg, you go with added chaos.

I haven't tested with increased duration enough yet. But I hear some people swear by it.. I think i need to go and test increased duration, might be better for endgame bosses with shittons of hp

I played quite a lot with Increased Duration and when i switched to Damage on Full Life i saw a huge clear speed increase.
Increased Duration could work great for bosses in one situation = when you are always full on mana and boss is slowed down to oblivion or not moving at all. If boss is teleporting or you run out of mana = your pods dots are already working against you and in this case you need fast explosions and shorter dots.
For clear speed i also noticed that i need to "wait" a lot in red maps for DoTs to kill even white monsters with duration over 2 seconds. Because without Damage on Full Life we lose a lot of damage and pods become a little weaker than needed on a 5L at least.
