PoE Vaal Venom Gyre, Venom Gyre, Projectile builds

BUILD GUIDE: -------------- SKILL OVERVIEW (READ THIS TO UNDERSTAND THE SKILL) -------------- Venom Gyre fires a returning Projectile that can be caught. Returning Projectiles deal 75% Less Damage. You can catch up to 30 Returning Projectiles. When you use Whirling Blades, you shoot out your returned projectiles. By default you have a 40% chance to keep Caught Projectiles when firing them with Whirling Blades. This can be scaled to 65% using helm enchant. The Projectiles shot out with Whirling Blades can shotgun as they are fired sequential

Written guide link: These can really go in any order but this is how I did it: League start checklist: Priority 1: Zerphis Heart and rings that allow you to use it. Priority 2: the correct Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire flasks Priority 3: a six link chest Priority 4: a decent flask mod belt Priority 5: a decent claw Priority 6: Asenath's gloves Priority 7: a correctly colored, and then six linked The Covenant. Priority 8: a good helmet with spell suppression Priority 9: Atziris Step boots ^x8

SO. im a bit stupid, and im sure some of these decisions are stupid, i have a few glaring issues, but to preface, im working on finding a jewel to cap my cold res, and im aware my anoint is for dual wield, the build guide from kobe i was following suggested dual wield would be ideal with this anoint but as soon as i go dual wield i turn into a feather, i have 0 defence and just cant progress when im that weak, as fun as the damage is its not worth dropping this shield which has become crucial for my survivability and a bit of a crut

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
