I'm at a point where I feel stuck and am unable to really proceed much. Level 91, stuck at level 268 in delve where I keep dying pretty suddenly. Not quite one-shot but close enough. Also, I keep getting to a "out of mana" situation since it draws on that as well as health when damaged. Not sure what to do.

Fix your talents tree
Use 4% cast speed talents instead of 10% spell damage right at the start.
Remove Practical application, Annihilation and talents leading to them (+4 talents in total). Get Inspiration and +30 dexterity talent (try to get extra dexterity from gear in the future)
You clarity level is too high, it reserves too much mana. Use lvl 8 Clarity. Or just turn it off completely and buy Clear mind jewel (55%+ spell damage, 25%+ mana regen). It's cheap and your assassin's haste and survival secrets jewel are pretty bad anyway.
Buy a watcher's eye with mana leech, as recommended in the guide. It's 1-1.5ex
Why are you not using Essence worm ring with wrath in it, as recommended in the guide? It gives 25% more damage. Get a new rare helmet to compensate resistances loss.
Buy a new weapon - cerberus limb with good rolls. It's dirt cheap and a lot better than your rare sceptre.
Get a better stygian vise belt, your is pretty horrible.

Delve tips: don't rush in front of the crawler, don't stay in the middle of the encounters, it's better to be on the side. Use decoy totem.

Hi, I used to play many years ago but never followed a guide and eventually quit, I've gotten back into it and decided to follow a guide, this build has been fun and easy to work with.

I have just obtained an Inpulsa's with some decent rolls but it's 4 blue, 1 red, 1 green (like the one shown in the guide). Since it's corrupted I can't reroll the colors, and getting 5 blue 1 green is very expensive. What should I do with the red socket? I figured dropping added lightning damage was the best option, keeping penetration, echo, controlled destruction. Right now I have put Iron Will in because I happen to have around 200 strength, but I want to know if there's a recommendation for what I should do. Thanks.

Put Empower Lvl 3 (or 4 if you can afford) there.

I'm finding it really hard to find sceptres with 3x linked blue sockets (lv 30 right now).

Are other weapons usable? Like wands/daggers?

Thank you for taking the time to so thoroughly analyze my character. I really appreciate it.

I started making the suggested changes at lunch and will finish gathering the gear tonight.

As for "why" I did things as I did, I am still trying to grasp what makes something good versus junk. I had things as they were because I wasn't sure how important it was and it looked close enough to me.
