Help SSF |Poison Blade Vortex

Here is my build:
https://poe.ninja/builds/settlersssf/character/Sleppoy/AshhleyLookAtMe

Do not quite know what I can do to improve my build, really need an advice since all unique items in my build are not targetable and quite random , so because of that it is very hard to do double corrupts. The build itself is not very tanky, I often die and I do not have enough damage for t17.

I understand that getting clusters is a good and quick option but I am so tired farming thousands of lifeforce to get 3 nods. To get a good weapon I have either to fracture DOT and get +2 or get another cold iron point and get DOT (which is very tedious process)

I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what the first things (the quickest things I have to do) to improve by build, much appreciated.

Is BV a good build for t17? I haven't played it before. I think it's a good build for mapping, but do you know if it's good for higher level content, like t17, ubers etc.?

I doubt your gear is the problem. If so then its not a SSF friendly build.

Poison bv can definitely clear the game and ubers pretty easily with the right gear. Unfortunately it's not very SSF friendly imo.

I've played poison bv back in tota and scaled the dps to around 35mil while being basically invulnerable. Nowadays the defenses are a bit worse because of the Taste of Hate and phys to elemental nerf in general, but it should still be pretty solid.

That said, I think u will hit a wall in ssf and looking at ur current gear, ur defenses are pretty much non existant.
I'd like to give advice, but honestly I don't really know if the build is able to do T17s in ssf comfortably at all.

Just finished some bosses on t17 and completed them with deaths-portals.
I would say my build does not forgive any mistakes, you have to constantly run if you stay on the same place at least for a second you are dead. The damage is the minimum required but if I decide to get more health I will definitely have problems with DPS.

You're only 94, so I would honestly slum some easy content and knock out another 3-4 levels. That can get you more life and the 15% life mastery for not having life on your chest. You also didn't annoint your amulet, so there's that.

Seems the only thing you are getting from that timeless jewel is 20% crit reduction. As you don't have any anywhere else and you don't seem to need the strength, that's not worth the jewel socket. I would also get out of the small node branching off of Fangs of the Viper. If you don't have a good jewel, I would just bank those points and put it elsewhere.

Same with the rare jewel. 12% increased damage is not worth a jewel socket (pob says 1.9% more damage, which is horrible for 2 points).
