This build is great in terms of damage, but I can't seem to survive in t12 maps. I'm lvl 89 and have been stuck here for 2 days as i kept on dying to rare mobs and map bosses. I've got 4.1k hp and 1.6k es with 77.8k tooltip dps and 87.5k while pendulum is active. Please help me to overcome this problem, this is my first character and I'm about to reroll just because i can't stop dying, but then i've put a lot of effort in this character.
Here are my equipments:
Yes I know my helmet is bad, but then I havent been able to find the right socket color for replacement, i've been trying to change the sockets i need for helmet to my gloves but had no luck with all my chroms, i'm trying to find a better amulet as well. The wands with spell dmg, crit mult&chance, and cast speed are non existent in prophecy league, tried poetrade, but it seems like the sellers had quit the game. Pls help.
EDIT: I changed from doryanis to rare belt to get more hp and es
Items look fine. You're probably just playing afraid and it's getting you killed.
Warp INTO a pack and cast vortex. Look at my video and look at how aggressively I play. It's the same play style as the old ice nova. If you walk up to packs, you'll get hit and potentially die. It's a cold build with tons of crit, you shouldn't ever get hit by anything.
Yes that is exactly what i'm doing but the problem is, I don't always 1 shot blue and rare packs, especially bosses. Rare packs and bosses usually can kill me in 2 or 3 hits, and I can't always escape their attacks cause casting vortex takes a bit of time (my cast speed is 0.39). This probably also because of my small mana pool. I have 139 unreserved mana with lvl 6 clarity on 47 mana regen per second. So if I warp to a pack that I don't kill in 1 shot, they'll probably hit me therefore delaying my warp out, cause once they hit me mana goes to 0. Tried not using clarity but I constantly ran out of mana. What should I do?

Your mana shouldn't get to zero.
The clarity level depends on your overall mana regen man. You need to be able to freely spam vortex and warp without ever hitting zero.

Yes I know, but I can't find rings with good crit and life plus decent mana regen like yours. Whats your mana regen rate?

My mana regen rate shouldn't matter. You need to find your own break even point and adjust your clarity gem level accordingly.
This build was min maxed for me specifically. Your only job when copying my build should be to adjust your items and skill points to make sure you can spam vortex endlessly. This is crucial. If you run out of mana while casting next to monsters, of course you'll die a lot lol

I'm not running out of mana when I cast, I run out of mana when the monsters hit me..
I don't think I can increase my clarity level at this point, since I only have 139 mana and increasing another level on clarity will only increase my regen by .9

There are only 2 ways for you to run out of mana by getting hit.
1. You specced into mind over matter. In which case, that take off right away. This isn't a build for that.
2. You are getting hit by rare mana leech mobs. This doesn't happen often unless you're chaining the same types of maps over and over. And this is still easily fixed by not getting hit.
I think what you can do for now is just use a diamond flask. It'll make sure you crit and get freezes off. Won't get hit quite as much.
Would it be possible to go t11+ with this items now?
Probably yea. You're in a better position than me to know this.
Are dual void batteries viable for this build? AFAIK the build misses 3 max power charges on the passive skill tree.
I only get the power charges for the extra crit chance while mapping (even tho it's not really needed). Dual void batteries would give you some more damage during the map, but then in hard bosses with their own rooms you wouldn't generate any power charges and end up losing damage.
