PoE Hydrosphere, Lightning Conduit builds

Self-Chill lightning conduit league starter build. It needs the Call of the Void Ring, but completely playable without it. Compared to my last explodey lightning conduit starter, it runs faster, is tankier, but has less damage and worse clear. It won't be able to start end-game boss farming on day 1-2, but I don't think that's a goal for most players. Here's an example first week gear:

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?

My current POB says my lightning conduit elementalist has 14M against pinnacle bosses. Here is my POB I definitely know in game damage will be different than sheet damage but I feel like I'm doing no where near that damage with even T16 bosses or few of the essence rares. Wonder if my POB configuration is incorrect or it's just how this build really is. Wrath will boost my damage a lot but I don't have enough sockets to fit wrath + divine blessing. Don't have currency for a enlighten 4 and replace herald of thunder.

Build isn't as tanky as id like but it was cheap. It was a fun idea and had some pretty awesome clear and boss damage.

I posted this meme build idea in the main subreddit while planning my first build. It wasn't very well received there, but I went with it and was able to gather the main uniques relatively easy, here's the final POB and my thoughts on this variant: What are the main interactions here? 1) Ralakesh's Impatience allows us to get full charges when standing. 2) The Inner Conviction keystone has no downsides, since it treats Min Frenzys outside of the ''gain'' charges
