PoE Elementalist, SSF, Lightning builds

Joined a league private, pretty much ssf, trying elementalist. It feels really bad in terms of defense, what can I do for make it more tanky? or is just elementalist a low defense ascendancy?

I thought things were going well, but I've just been absolutely destroyed by the minotaur, and it's made me think that I've got a lot of improvements to make with my build. I have largely been following Ziz's guide here, and this is my character: Keep in mind I am in SSF, although I'm open to all ideas for gear change ups that aren't too impracticle.

I made a ignite divine ire for 3.17 and would love some tips on how to make it better Edit .1 Forgot to say ill be playing in SSF

Hey, Like a lot of you i've been very interested in creating a selfcast build this league. I've been wanting to try out a lightning skill and after testing it a bit on standard i quite like the feeling of crackling lance, so i've set out to make a build for it. I've ended up making two very similar builds. One for Elementalist and one for Inquisitor. Ele seems to have higher damage but Inquisitor is probably a lot tankier with consecrated ground. I was wondering what you all would think would be a better pick. I'm also open to any criticism or feedback on the builds. They're meant to be SSF f
