Hey guys, after skimming through 30 pages of this thread, it seems that survivability is one of the biggest problems everybody is facing. I am only level 62 and was looking to start gearing myself although I'm not too sure on my gem set up.
6L: Ice trap - cluster - trap n mine - controlled des - ele focus - void manip
4L: CWDT - Immortal call - inc dur - phase run (3 red 1 green)
4L: Blasphemy - enfeeble - enlighten - clarity (4 blues)
4L: Vaal lightning trap - vaal grace - inc dur - gmp
3L: stone golem - minion life - minion res
3L: whirling blades - faster attacks - fortify
Given that our build is focused around evasion and dodge, I am not too sure how I will be able to find an evasion helm and glove that would allow me to get 4B and 3R1G. I would probably have to find an armour+evasion glove or helm and an ES+evasion glove or helm which would give us lower evasion compared to wearing a glove/helm that gives full evasion.
I am either thinking I have to take a lower evasion or switch up my gem set up. Thoughts?
You shouldn't use phase run, your dmg will be a lot worse (frenzy charges consumed all the time) and you don't need it to survive (use a quartz flask with increased evation instead). You also don't need ID with CWDT + IC, so that way on can put the CWDT and Blasphemy setup on your boots and can have full evasion gear like mine (I have 5.5k evasion).
If you're using this build for Atziri farming, then perhaps a corrupted +1 tabula rasa is better than a 6L carcass jack. You don't really need the extra AoE from Carcass, and the +1 gem levels is pretty powerful for single target dps. Thoughts?

Maybe...
But if Carcass Jack causes more Ice Trap explosions to overlap for 2x or more AOE damage to single targets, then CJ will be better.

I would have thought you don't need CJ to cause Ice Trap explosions to overlap on a single target, especially a relatively static one like Atziri...?

Clarifying my answer :-)
What I mean is that a for a single cluster of Ice Traps, the increased AOE provided by Carcass Jack may be such that you get more overlap - for that single cluster - than you would without Carcass Jack. If so, CJ will be the better option.
And since all traps in the cluster go off simultaneously, whether or not the target is moving should have no bearing on the outcome.
It would be interesting to work this out though (which I haven't done) to see what's actually better.
