Path of Exile

The only thing that really stands out is that you seem extremely paranoid of dieing. I don't think even James runs with 4 life flasks. Dying Sun, Rumi's Concoction, and a Basalt Flask will all be great additions.

You have some minor improvements like:

• 4 empty gem slots.
  • On your boots, that likely means pick up a Bubonic Trails. I have 6% 2-slot rotting in my stash if you want it.
  • On your shield, that depends on your build. I like a shaper shield that reduces mana reservation on socketed gems. That means you can stick Anger, HoA, and HoP in the shield slot. It is a bit of a trade off as you'll get less life and armor compared to Lioneye's Remorse. But if you pick up a shield with great implicits like all res, it makes gearing other slots much easier.
• I like fortity on melee hit corruption for weapons because it means you can drop the fortify link on your movement skill. I also have one of these sitting in my stash if you want it.
• Your rings could use some more life, especially the right one.
• Your abyssal jewels could be better. Get a searching eye that's just utility. +life, onslaught on kill, and blind on hit(really important!).
• You don't pick up *any* of the endurance charge passives. I would strongly reconsider this, especially as a juggernaut.
• MS helm enchant. Got TWO of those if you want one.
• Qual your gems. Either use the vendor recipe and relevel them, which isn't recommended unless you're going to putting many more hours into the character. Or just go buy them with high qual and levels. Have fun getting people to respond. Once you get them to 20/20, vaal the ones that count.
• Ice Golem is pretty useless on a non-crit jugg. Especially one that isn't attached to CWDT, he's just going to be dead when it matters most. I'd suggest dropping it and getting 1 or 2 CWDT setups. Immortal Call(get your resists up so that when it eats your endurance charges, your resists don't drop precipitously or at all), Molten Shell, Tempest Shield, Enfeeble, Temporal Chains(outstanding in delves while you're standing around in darkness waiting for walls to explode or picking up fossils) and Blood Rage are all good CWDT candidates. Lightning Golem or Flame Golem if you want to squeeze out a bit more dps, but I think they are overrated these days. Also, if you don't need to, don't stick Blood Rage or Molten Shell in a CWDT setup. They are instant cast and you can easily get yourself used to just refreshing them every few seconds.
• Link Combustion to Ancestral Protector.
• I haven't felt I have needed more than 2 mana on hit for my build, which is very similar to yours. Viridian jewels, or just non-abyss jewels in generally, aren't great for this build unless you can get ones with a ton of attack speed and life on them.
• You can likely squeeze a few passives out of better pathing on your tree.

Thanks for all the advice man! I really focused on my gems and it has already made a ton of difference. The life flasks was basically because the build I was using doesn't have any specific flasks beyond the Wise Oak and it really didn't feel like any of the others were going to help my DPS a ton.

Thanks for the offer of gear but I'm trying to maximize my efficiency in using my own currency and decision making to progress. It is slow going but helps me understand more about the game that way .

Anouncements of announcements. League will be 1 week late because it's "larger than the Bestiary, Incursion or Delve releases." I don't know how they're churning bigger and bigger expansions every time. Like bigger than Delve seems like quite a lot of stuff.
