My experience trying to make my first Path of Exile Build.

Scrapped Perfect agony plan because going crit requires way too much tree investment, as you need to get 100% crit, hit, AND poison chance, then scale crit multi. Just too hard to scale. Scrapped idea to go CI, as there is almost 0 recovery in this build and there is no way to get that ES back, at least with Wilma's/ancestral bond. Revisit idea of CI without wilmas and look into leech possibilities!! So, going CI is going to require flat ES gear which doesn't synergize well with bow side of tree. Even with leech and such, I would need a massive amount of ES, I think that going Chaos Res with darkscorn will prove to be pretty decently defensive. I think going forward the way this will work is to utilize Armour/Evasion bases and scaling phys reduction through armour while relying on suppression and evasion as primary defensive layer with armour as a backup for phys mit. Going forward, what about scourge arrow of menace and/or caustic arrow of poison? Looking into goratha build now Moving out of topside tree pathing due to not scaling ES, will probably look to allocate whispers of doom if necessary.
