Any advice on how to improve my gear?

I tried Sirus for the first time ever, I got him up to 10% hp and then somehow he one shotted me. Trying to prepare for the next fight, I have some currency but I don't really know what to look for, and I really want upgrades. I'm currently sitting at 8 ex.

I've been looking blindly at trade, comparing gear through PoB and that's the best I could get. Only thing I can think of is my armor, but every armor I see that upgrades my DPS and my HP is 20+ exalts. Maybe a Craiceann's Carapace? I think the crab skill may be good to shaft some phys damage.

Also, I thought about branching out of the passive tree using clusters, but I am at loss there. Anyone thought of this, or gave it a chance?

Edit: I forgot to ask, would elemental army do any good to our golems?

Boy, I've not reached Sirius yet but if you couldn't do it with your gear, I'm not very hopeful on my chances ;-(

A good "budget" use for your EX allotment could be cluster jewels. I've started tinkering with them in my current version and they're a powerful tool. For RF you'll want some that allocate "Burning Bright" at a minimum. You can run more than 1 jewel with Burning Bright so the buff stack. You should be able to pick up some decent ones @ 2-3EX ea.

On a large jewel it will be 12% Fire Damage, on a medium it will by 4% Fire DoT multiplier. You can get some synergy allocations on the jewels (if you search) like: Master of Fire, Widespread Destruction, Prismatic Heart, Doryani's Lesson, Disorienting Display, Sadist, Corrosive Elements, Cremator, Prismatic Heart, Smoking Remains, Vengeful Commander.

Just be advised on buying jewels that you only buy large cluster jewels with 8 additional skills, medium 5-6 max. Otherwise you'll have to respec a lot of other tree points in order to get the notable passives that you want.

My second most fun build i have played (this RF build the most fun a.t.m.) is Frostbolt Totems. It wiped the screen of everything not rare/unique. I can stand safely behind my turrets (totems). I can place them in front of me so they clear the room before i enter. But haven't played since they lowered the number of totems. I did try a few other totems build, they didn't give me the same fun as the old Frostbolt Totems. The guide i used back then was from LiftingNerdBro. So if you're open to requests, a totem build in you're style would sounds like lots of fun to me :) If not no problem!!!

What i like about you're guide is that i don't need to spend must effort on finger placement and what buttons to press. So i can focus more on thats going on on the screen (not that thats going very well :p).

I beat Sirus yesterday, and the only difference from my first fight was my armor. I bought a 6 white linked armor wich gave me like +500hp. It wasn't easy but I finally beat Sirus, wich puts me at 22/24 challenges. what I didn't know is Sirus escalates damage with awakening level... First time I tried he was at awakening 5, this time I tried awakening 0.

Thanks for the tips on the clusters. I looked at them and I figured some of what you told me. What I don't know is how to "amplify" the build. How to remove points from one "branch" to put them in clusters and end up beign more powerful.

I'm at level 94, and I can't level up. I do not die often, but I die from time to time and I do not progress. So I guessed I should re-allocat some of my passives into clusters. So far I haven't found jewells that, for example, give me more HP that the bottom left branch.

Really appreciate your guides, as I am an older (BUT NOT OLD!!) player who can't zip-zap-doodle their way out of stuff most times. I notice you mention to put certain 4 links in certain armors (head vs boots vs hands) but my understanding is that doesn't matter? Or maybe I'm missing something special about your build that makes it important?
