So I am liking this build, but the problem I have so far is that I am starting to get 1shot from t13 bosses on the 8 line maps. Do I need to focus on trying to get upgrades for my defenses or more dot lines/+1 dex for my gear? I only have a few exalts due to trying to upgrade the gems and buying some other gear earlier.
You can improve the defences multiple ways, I started out just trying to survive everything with about 9.5k ehp, and then transitioned to my current setup where when im recently hit or take spell damage im at 75% chance to dodge attacks and 74% chance to dodge spell damage, 75% all elemental resistances, 77% chaos resistance, 100% elemental ailment immunity, and bleed immunity, 4.65k life, and 3.5k ES.

Ive found this loadout to be the most survivable, I would also recommend stealing Viktranka's void sphere CWDT link to help with corpse cleanup so those random mass detonate corpses dont get you.
According to an ehp calculator, I am sitting at 8.7k ehp. The issues i am currently having is that I only have -9% chaos resist and 48% chance to dodge spells along with 70% avoidance for elemental ailments. I take it the best way to get a ton of chaos resist is using gems? The other 2 items I believe i need to change my helmet/boots to help resolve
Imo the chaos resistance is a big reason people get wrecked, between Sirus spawning and dominated Sirus monsters, and just the general increase in forms of chaos damage its something alot of players overlook.
The best way to get chaos resist without giving up anything is using the medium cluster jewels I linked on the last page, 4 of those alone with a 4% chaos res suffix will make a huge difference.
From there its worth spending the $ to get good 3 line jewels and augment chaos, remove/add chaos on them until you get chaos resistance or chaos DoT multi.
You can get fancy on the boots too but they can be a pain to craft, its pretty random getting double T1 dodge rolls even spamming augment influence, add/remove influence, also painful b/c its 2-3ex an attempt.
Chaos resistance is unncessary and not a requirement for any build to feel good. I have levelled various builds to level 97+ with negative chaos res and regular mapping. Sure, the more you can get the better, but its not the reason you are dying frequently.
This build has so many defensive layers, and its playstyle makes it so easy to never get hit. I didn't even need to try and easily hit level 97.
@slizer36 your issue is that your build, to be blunt, is garbage. I would legitimately vendor most of your gear, it is that bad.
Lets do a quick check
You have no life rolls on any of your gear (excluding boots and...36 life roll on quiver). I mean really. Why bother taking life% nodes on the tree if you aren't going to add any flat life to your build? Most, if not all of your equipment should have t1-t2 life rolls, its not difficult to get res capped if you are using a lot of rare equipment.
Every single cluster jewel and regular jewel that you have is terrible, and should not be used in any build, ever. You do not need perfect jewels, but you definitely want wicked pall on all of them. At an absolute minimum, your cluster jewels should be:
-Large: 8 passive w/2 noteables including Wicked Pall
-Medium: 4 passive w/Wicked Pall OR 5 passive w/Wicked Pall + any useful noteable
-Regular Jewels: %Life (+any resistance and/or attack speed is a bonus)
-Abyssal Jewel: come on man..at least get a life roll here
If you cannot afford these kinds of jewels, that is fine. You can just use a regular non-cluster or 1 cluster setup, which involves pathing up to the Scion area of the tree to Constitution, taking Exceptional Performance and using a Thread of Hope to pick up Potency of Will and other good nodes in that area.
Also consider rolling your flasks, and instant heal flask goes a long way.

Unfortunately, I will need to focus on gear before I work on my jewels. Im not 100% sure just more life would save me from 1shot from beyond bosses/end bosses on t15+ maps with vulnerability+60% more effective/elemental weakness+60% more effective/enemies deal extra dmg as element/deal more dmg. rolls that i keep getting from corrupting the maps

This is my first league playing this build and is defeated all content with ease. Your issue is that your build is straight garbage. All of your equipment is objectively mediocre. All of your cluster jewels are awful. All of your jewels are bad. You still haven't rolled your flasks.
Let me be clear, there is nothing that you have done right, and that is why you are struggling. You do not need a min maxed build for this to work, and you can go very far on a tight budget. You can spend 5 chaos on each slot, spend 1ex crafting a budget bow, ignore cluster jewels and have a better build for ~1.5ex.
If you can't afford 'usable' cluster jewels. That is fine, as I said, you don't have to use them at all.
I have listed out all the issues with your build on the previous page. I don't know what you are after with this response.
Can someone tell me, what i should improve in my build now? I have 50ex now and don't know for what better to spend.

P.S I use Megalomaniac with Enduring Composure for Immortal Call, because with Steel Skin i die from random oneshots.
Your still missing alot of damage over time multipliers. Your quiver is missing damage over time, your gloves are missing chaos damage over time, and your amulet is missing chaos damage over time.
The amulet is just a matter of harvest crafting "add/remove" chaos to replace that chaos resist with chaos dot multi, theres a chance of knocking off the +1 to chaos gems but in that case you just keep redoing until you get both on.
The gloves you would remove the strength craft and also add/remove chaos to replace the resist with chaos dot multi, and then craft 25% chance to avoid elemental immunity. Same process for quiver, open an suffix and augment chaos, add/remove as needed for DoT multi.
You need a proper endgame helm, hubris circlet with enchant and 25% avoid elements, in combo with the 1 elegant form small jewel this provides 100% immunity to chill, shock, ignite etc etc.
Belts can also have up to 12% increased maximum life and 30% increased chaos damage if Hunter Influenced, theres alot you can and should improve with a 50ex budget.
Steelskin works better too with alt quality setups, you can proc it sooner and have a stronger buff with alt quality gems, look at the gems in my boots for exact titles.
Anyways heres all the DoT multi sources your looking for on gear;
You can also always have frenzy and endurance charges up without enduring composure, you can craft 10% chance on kill to gain frenzy/power/endurance charges (suffix) or use a thread of hope in the center of your tree (see my tree) to gain overcharged, and several strong nodes like harrier, foresight etc.
Spent on upgrade 70ex~, decided to buy helm with chaos res, in future when i have 100% chaos res, will change chaos res to avoid ailment.
Now i think to change quiver and roll t1 chaos dot on gloves.
Thank you very much for share your build.

What I'm getting at is whats getting me is crazy stupid rolled maps, otherwise I'm ok. From what your implying, I should focus on getting gear with only t1 life rolls and nice resistance/ other defensive rolls and ignore some of the chaos dot gear, since the stuff I saw with all the above is 50chaos to several exalt, but the defensive stuff is still sub 10chaos. I thought you were telling me I need to shell out a ton of exalts to massively upgrade my gear.
