100h Player, need help with Monk Build Endgame

Hi. Please, be kind :) I'm still learning everything.

Apologize if this is wrong forum.

I'm using Korbyn's Ice Strike build. Currently Endgame variation.
https://ibb.co/23FFDX7Q
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/league-starter-hollow-palm-monk-fgkorbyn21


Have 75% all res, around 70% chance to evade and 55% to deflect. 1600 life, 3900 ES, LVL 91. My tooltip on Ice Strike shows 42k DPS which is probably extremely low.
I dont have gear piece more expensive than several Divines. Rings arent great. Neck as well.

I don't use 24% Prefix or Suffix increase from Atlas.

I have 6.57% leech on ring but in Simulacrum T2, Delirious (i dunno, 50%+) maps I have huge mana regen issues. Folks on reddit told I have low dmg. Couple forum topics from Poe 1 and 2 showed the same.
There's also bug, when instead of closing distance to target with Ice Strike, char just stands in place and swings air. This way and 100% Delirious encounters my mana bar (700+ iirc) reach 0 in ~2 seconds.

After wave 10 on T2 Simulacrum bosses sometimes 1 tap me, or I can pop an enemy for herald procs etc. I failed T2 four times already.
I can clear 30% Delirious comfortable. Exception - 3-4 Abyss rares with several modifiers at the same time.

Same with regular maps. Full hp, then from ~90% ES to 0 hp in couple seconds with some dot effect and maybe projectiles. Monkey Boss with pillar one tapped me. Wasnt expecting that.

I dunno, if you could advise anything I would be grateful. Sorry for bothering you.

The questions:

1. The only methods of raising survivability in this build is increasing ES and DPS with gear ?
2. To solve mana leech issue I have to raise damage, right ? What kind of damage ? In general, or more flat physical on rings, elemental flat on rings ?
3. Is it normal I die very quick on T2 Simulacrum latest waves ? I realize there's different modifiers rng.
4. Maybe there's low budget build that will be more tanky and fit me more ?
5. Why some youtubers skip Local Knowledge Atlas node ? Still bugged ?
6. Is Exiled Exchange tool safe to use ?
7. Which loot filter could you recommend, if I wanna skip items priced sub 1 Ex. Except that most popular from website. Neversink ? It shows waaay to much items. Like craft bases that worth 1, transmut and augm orbs, greater runes etc. I almost died several times because of how cluttered screen is.
8. Some 0.3 craft and trading guide link, perhaps ?
9. Can you fail Tower and Monolith maps ?
10. Is there a way to check which conditions you already cleared for Boss Tree skillpoints ?
11. What do I need to breeze through T2-T3 Simulacrums and 100% delirious ? Gear ? :)

EDIT: sorry, forgot. Reddit players also mentioned bodies disappear in Simulacrum so Herald of Ice wont work. What can I use instead ?
EDIT2: which yellows (rare) items to pick up ? Like, the priority. Tier 4-5 ?

Appreciate any help and maybe you could give some advises to newbie. Thanks.

That's a warm welcome

have u try to register your char on poeninja?

when i try a build i go on ninja and look for char that use my same setup then i control if they do same dmg or have same ehp and what difference with mine....this is a first step imho

p.s. this is a beta forum (like the game) so people use different channel to exchange opinion and advice and where they find builds or guides:

or channel 820 on ingame chat

Apologies for late reply. I was a bit busy but can return to the game.
I just logged in at poeninja but I'm 100% sure the difference will be gear if imma start to check. But it was handy so I dont have to describe build myself, thank you.
Just in case I may get more replies here:

What did you mean TFT on Discord ? That's the name of the server ?

want flat damage on your rings instead of increased damage, try rings with adds physical damage to attacks, adds fire dmg to attacks and adds cold damage or lightning damage to attacks. you want 3 of those on each ring

gloves you also want 3 flat damage modifiers and you want your rune sockets to be filled with talisman of the sirrius for increased attack speed. you can also put these talismans inside of a belt called "darkness enthroned" for even more increased attack speed

also for belts, headhunter seems best in slot but expensive. some people also prefer ingenuity.

you can go a little lower on chaos resist and get your lightning resist up instead

overflowing power,the power within, chakra of rhythm, chakra of attack and tenfold attacks id remove and instead path towards reaching strike and rapid strike for a big damage boost, a couple nodes beyond that is a jewel socket for another damage or defense boost.

use a megalomaniac diamond in that node and find modifiers that fit your playstyle or will save you points in your skill tree

use wind dancer skill, provides a huge defense buff. almost mandatory on monk

combat frenzy will help you with charges, again seems mandatory to me

also for simulacrums putting points into chakra of stability is mandatory.

here is my build, slightly expensive but it clears everything in the game.

Hi. I've tried your build, Ronnaray's build and returned to the original.
Damage fix a lot of issues. Can't add much survivability to build I guess. Pocket sand also help. I've updated gear a bit, everything is expensive and I'm almost broke.

Completed T2 Simulacrum, went to T3 and was lacking damage. At one point got swarmed a bit, at wave ~13. I pressed dodge roll maybe 0.1 second before two bosses spawned in front of me and died instantly. I didnt even understand what happened. Maybe regular enemy killed me.

I have another issue and would appreciate a way to solve it. Bleeding:

At first video I suppose that attack would've kill me anyway, but bleeding was doing big dmg.

On 2nd vid, I slowpoked, could've finish the boss, but I caught that big projectile and was spamming health flask non stop and still died. It's such a silly design.

Any way to mitigate bleeding damage and it's speed ?
Because right now it looks like if you dont avoid it - you're just dead.
I also don't understand why it feels like evasion works much worse on boss fights.

EDIT: was lucky to score boots I needed to swap helmet and belt to headhunter, need to try what this was all about.

For end game I would believe you would need end game items which are very expensive as you know This Char clears end game content np but expensive good luck exile!!
