IMPORTANT NOTES
BANDITS - Alira early on if you need resistances, otherwise take +2 passives or respec to it later.
Pantheons - Brine King + Ralakesh until maps then Solaris + Shakari
DIVINATION CARD FARMING
This build works a lot better early on if you farm a few divination cards. There are two cards in particular that you should consider farming, they are The Lion found from ONLY the unique boss
"The Dishonoured Queen" found in Mudflats Act 6
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Lion. It's about a 1/3 chance to get Lioneye's Vision and Lioneye's Glare, both are very strong early on. You can also get
Lioneye's Paws and Lioneye's Fall which are both rare but very powerful if you get lucky. Because of the divination card drop penalty you should farm Mudflats Act 6 (CARD ONLY DROPS FROM BOSS) and reset at the Karui Fortress Waypoint.
The other divination card is The Imperial Legacy
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Imperial_Legacy. This card can be farmed in Foothills Act 9 but it can take a long time (5-10 hours) to farm. It gives you a 6L Bow to fossil craft with
Corroded + Jagged Fossils so it's worth getting. Alternatively this card can be found in any desert tileset (Dunes, Desert, and Desert Springs) or bought from other players.
Tree/Ascendancy/Skill Options
Assuming Cluster Jewels are worth going for you can respec the right side of the tree into the left side and go for the outer jewel socket above Resolute Technique.
If you want to try a tankier version, you can switch ascendancy to Champion but you would probably need a Lioneye's Fall jewel to make the damage work. You should annoint Growth and Decay with this setup instead of Cleaving, and you probably
need to switch to Haemophilia Gloves or a Physical Explode Chest for clear (because you're losing the Gladiator Bleed Explosions).
You may also try out Rain of Arrows instead of Split Arrow for endgame, note that Lioneye's Vision is less useful here so you may choose to swap chests.

NOTE ABOUT DEFENSIVE SETUP
You need to vaal orb Molten Shell gems until you hit Vaal Molten Shell (25% chance). The Vaal Molten Shell gem must be linked after the Steelskin gem because
Cast When Damage Taken will cast in gem link order and you want the Steelskin before so it does not cast Molten Shell which would override Vaal Molten Shell.
