Scuffed Poison Shield Crush PF - T17 Fortress

PoB: https://pobb.in/bi-9ug4tVReF

Poison shield crush was the only variation of shield crush i haven't played yet so i put this together (cutting corners everywhere because i'm poor)

Some key points:

• Coiling whisper with fire burst on hit essence mod to "automate" the souls with low tree investment
• Sadly master surgeon is the way to go but annihilation approach is cool
• 99% ele dmg converted to fire or chaos (should be 100% but i'm cheap)
• 75% block chance / 73% spell block chance
• Hunter ming's heart enables the final 10% ele conversion
• Scuffed merc too, just determ and despair on hit (also using kaom's binding but not in PoB)
• progenesis would help a lot with tankyness since what usually kills me is only big hits

Overall the build feels great anyway if you don't mind master surgeon, feels nice with shield charge to move around, white mobs usually die to just shield charge and poison prolif helps with clear anyway.

Fire burst on hit on the weapon allows me to use ming's heart without needing to invest points in the tree, just three gems on weapon + ring and that's it for souls, of course it isn't as reliable as the additional reduced curse duration rare ring or other setups but it will be 45 souls 100% of the time when it matters anyway so it's fine.

There are many things that i could improve like adding arctic armour at level 95, progenesis, better crafted rares (the ones i have i bought for like 30c) and a better crafted sword but hysteria essence is expensive for me.
