PoE builds similar to Many cool mechanics but frustrating to play - Path of Exile (3.5 Betrayal)

Trying to rig up a flame-surge Kitava's thirst character. It'd be like playing melee, without being melee. I'm probably going to roll with it next league unless something overtly destroys the build. But looking for feedback on it. It's not terribly crazy in terms of required uniques, and has room for growth with influence-rare crafting. \editing to meet the "Share Your Build" requirements\ Flame Surge on a 6-link \[Pledge of Hands\] meets the 100 mana cost to trigger Kitava's Thirst, which has 3 spells linked on Arcane

&x200B; So I always struggle once I hit yellow upper/red maps with gearing upgrades whenever I try and make my own character, and this one is no exception. I'm fully rez capped, have increased max fire res and I'm taking some damage as fire thanks to the watchers eye and Dawnbreaker. I know my Chaos res is low, but I'm not really as concerned about dying from those source. It's the general amount of damage I'm taking that I'm confused by. I guess I could get more armour on the chest, maybe try and fit in determination somewhere,

Poison Seismic Trap: &x200B; (Note, that i share some Gems and the Ashes Amulet -->so i can not change the annoinment) &x200B; What i want: To kill uber eater (and train other Uber Bosses) easily. Problem: Staying alive: My Trappers Damage is fine, but i die a lot in rare uber invitations. &x200B; \--> MY Question:

Offmeta Build: Flame Surge Selfcast Chieftain utilizing recently buffed Warcrys defensively

So I league started this idea of a hybrid Summoner. &x200B; Main mechanics: Arakaali + The Scourge + Impending Doom Spiders grant ID 300% poison dmg ID curse bots for your spiders \-The Scourge allows for easy scaling HoA provides access to feeding frenzy, CoN and insane cluster jewels \-Pathfinder is Pathfinder &x200B; Current character: All the expensive stuff: &x200B; Defense: Recovery: HP on flask use, 600 regen, Ghost Dance, Blood Not
