32k armour and 4400 ES is too low. Regen is not needed (only for dot and azurite mine), you already replenish 1k ES on block with 50K armour (2k ES with 100k armour)

You need 6k ES and 50k armour for farming easy map T1-T10.
When you start red map you need 7-8K ES. For me the target is 10K ES and 60-70K armour for endgame and all the rest in minions damage.

I'm farming map T14-T16 and sirius with this build : https://pastebin.com/qpGRMKwX

On map T1-T10 you can stack more defensive node (more mana = more armour / ES). Spider do the job alone, and only for high map you need more minions damage and good herald. Cerulean ring is good for defensive stats and the damage on herald is not needed on low map

I have a few questions, if anyone can help me.

- POB have Predator gem on weapon and body armour, i can only set Prey once, is that right ? Is the Predator in the weapon there because it can beneffit from the one used on the body armour ?
Yes and Yes.

- I dont know if i understand very well Blood stance + Maim on boots. I need some help to understand.
Maim : Enemies Maimed by Supported Skills take (10-14)% increased Physical Damage
Flesh and stone : Enemies Maimed by this Skill take (13-16)% increased Physical Damage

- I respec'd a character of mine into this build and bought basically everything (at least most stuff) and i feel i have a zDPS character, it took me so long to kill a map boss that i'm afraid i'm doing something really really wrong here.
Try to have minions damage 200%+ and adding dread banner / rottens claw / impale help for damage

I know i have many not fully leveled gems, especially Empower (just bought them because they are waaay cheaper) but still, regardless of this, i simulated on POB and even fully leveled gems seems pretty low dps.
Yes some build have insane DPS not this one, but we have tankiness. With good stuff i can Kill boss and guardian T15-16 between 2s and 5s.

- One more thing, do we really need double writhing jars ?
No

1) Stalwart Protector or Enduring composure jewel?
2) I dont see Energised armor used anywhere on POB, which one isupdated version?
3) Pob and the guide has different gem setups, like melee phys damage vs anomalous predator on arakali fang, which one is updated?

I don't understand how you get CI build to work. Is it with determination reservation reduction?
