Heya! Thanks for the reply! I just checked your PoB! I'll will start by saying that I greatly discourage using Chain and GMP(Awakened GMP is good though because the extra projectile and double attack speed bonus makes it worth it) Lancing steel because you'll take a really heavy hit to damage and mana cost even though you'll be hitting enemies more widely. I really prefer pierce instead of Chain because it allows you to focus enemies at the back of the mob pack. And by swapping GMP for Vicious projectiles your damage wil greatly increase. Having a lot of extra projectiles is awesome for this build, but you need to balance extra projs with base damage, otherwise you'll simply be a peashotter.
Regarding the Offering to the Serpent, you may get one without +1 frenzy and upgrade to one with it afterwards when they become widely available, just try to get one with a good implicit(like attack speed, global phys damage, damage while leeching, life gained for each enemy hit by your attacks or damage) or any implicit that helps that you can find, focus on getting one with the highest attack speed and damage while leeching you can afford if the price is reasonable.
Whenever possible try to get upgrades for your jewels(you may use the search I personally use when searching for upgrades https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/RW54reWT7), you could also get a Lord of Steel with impale effect since it will actually increase your damage.
You're using Poacher's mark, which is fine if you're having life sustain issues, but Sniper's mark really helps if you can let go of Poacher's mark's great sustain.
I also saw that you're using 2 Jade Flasks, swap one of them for a Diamond flask since multiple effects of flasks of the same base don't stack. Try also changing the Mana Flask for a Sulphur Flask if you switch Chain and GMP for Vicious projs and Pierce.

You said you have little time to play and 1.2 ex in your stash. So focus on getting an upgrade to your Glyph Grasp Sapphire Ring with more life then get a impale effect Lord of Steel, then ugrade your jewels. If you have enough currency by then, get a Offering to the Serpent and a good Large cluster with no more than 8 passives and at least 2 notables, being 3 notables the ideal, try getting one with at least Feed the Fury and Smite the weak(you can check the best notables on the build guide). Feed the Fury gives you damage and leech, Smite the Weak gives you damage. If you have enough currency after the shopping spree, try getting a Watcher's eye with a nice bonus while affected by Pride(you can also check the guide for reference).

Hope that helps! Have fun and enjoy the build! May RNGesus bless your drops!

Hey, here I am again with some more troubles I was hoping you could help me out with x)

First off, thank you so much for your earlier extensive explanation and advice, it really helped!

I found a fair bit of time to play (way more than expected because of easy college projects) so I made more progress than I expected. I feel like I hit a point where upgrades are becoming crazy expensive to the point where I simply don't know what to spend my currency on.

T16 maps still are a no-go for my build, so I really feel like I am missing something, but I can't seem to figure out what. I have around 10ex ready to spend and was hoping you could give me some pointers again as to what to upgrade next and focus on later down the line. I currently have precision linked, but don't use it because of mana issues, was thinking of get a -15 mana cost body (as explody chest seems kinda not worth it after the nerf), and maybe - mana cost on rings/amulet. That way I can use precision, but that won't get me to the point of running T16's, and will cost me probably far over 10ex.

I am trying to go for the life gain on hit version. This is my current PoB:
https://pastebin.com/6TWvFt2R

Also, according to PoB, ryslatha's coil will only lower my DPS. Not sure how this is calculated, but I feel like my current attack damage is too low to really benefit from ryslatha's coil.

Hope you can point me into the right direction with the build, as I really enjoy it! Thanks for sharing the build!

Heya Thanks for helping me a bunch,
Once again I am asking for your wisdom.

I want to go the tankier version of the build, but getting a good life on hit with resistance and health and having room left for non-nchanneling mana cost decrease is impossible. In theory one coudl craft it but it seems like a GGG item in itself. Is there anyway to get life gained on hit anywhere else?

Heya! If rings with LGOH are not very affordable right now and/or you're struggling to craft yours, you can also get LGOH in amulets, gloves and crimson jewels, but have in mid that the Hunter mond with up to 20 LGOH is only available in rings, all other types of equipment mentioned above are capped at 3 life gained on hit. Godd thing is, if you manage to get a pair of Warlord's gripped gloves with LGOH, good life and +1 to maximum frenzy charges you're gold for a long time, otherwise just go for ones with life and LGOH. You may craft that with Greed essences to guarantee the max life roll.

Hope that helps ya!

I'm using otts gloves now dont you need those for this build to have the dps increase on full life? And it;s not that it's just too expensive to buy those rings, I can't seem to find any without tanking a massive hit to hp or resistances, I already have a few jewels and amulet that give me life on hit. I've now hit my next difficulty level after getting a high end paradoxica. I do 90% of tier 16 maps with caution and ease, but the trials can get iffy real quick and some bosses just kill me over and over again.
Atm I have 5.4k hp and 13 life gain on hit.
