PoE Ethereal Knives, Venom Gyre builds

I'm playing a Pathfinder with some convoluted mechanics around Mahuxotl's, damage conversion and Poison EK. Honestly my Asenath's explosions just don't feel that great. I noticed that in PoB I'm not seeing an explosion value for them. Is something fundamentally not working properly here? I have another large cluster in the PoB that's got Unspeakable Gifts in it, and for that I see pretty clear numbers around the explode. This may just be all in my head / minor, but it certainly doesn't feel as good as playing occultist pops or something, and with the amount of phys as extra chaos conversio

Its my first time making a build from scratch, wanted to make an abyss stacker but i don't personally like the look of the rathpith ones so i tried to make one myself. Can anybody spot any glaring issues or problems i might face? (Such as I'm a little worried about mana but from what i can tell, it looks fine) Also, i notice nothing changes when i flick arcane surge on and off. Makes it really difficult to know if i will have mana problems because i have no idea if the stated regen is with or without arcane surge. I'm aware that it would have trouble bossing but that's fine as my other build

With the new crucible tree i have a node that it says: 10% Chance to deal double damage if strenght is below 100, i have omni so i think strenght count as lower than that, somehow pob isnt showing the calcs and dps with double damage. Any help? here is my pob thank you

Right before patch notes, I figure I'd share another build I've been working on. One unlikely to get bonked, because it's so off-meta. Note that this isn't the final PoB, and more optimizations are in the works. The question of "how many blades" can I generate per-second has always been a fun to explore with Venom Gyre. But recently, I realized I was asking the wrong question: Just how many of the returning projectiles can I get to hit? This build can hit a single solo enemies with approximately 84 Returning Blades per second. Pob here: Explanation below.
