Wow.. respect! Now I feel bad for my 87k :(

Thanks, no reason to feel bad, that just means there's alot further to push. Even right now, Im changing up my passive tree alot to try different optimizations. Im currently using Loreweave and using a vitality leech/clarity energy shield to boost effictive hp. Up to ~7.5 effective now (6.2k hp + 1.3k shield). Though I don't advice these for everyone since I've invested alot into crafting 50hp / + to spell damage abyss jewels

@Ishmaelsonata: Do you have some advices for me?
Well of course no total makeover, just if you see some quick improvements like.. "Check for ring with xy" or "Refund skill x for y".
I guess 92 is my max level, I'm no big friend of grinding days for one level ;)

Same like me xDD 92 lvl atm and can't level up :D
At 50% getting bored and doing some crazy shit.
At the end again with 0% xD

What will be better? Starkonja without +1 VD or Devoto with +1 VD? I wont have any problems with surviving with Devoto?

Any advice would be very helpful, my voltatile dead damage just seems so low. I clear maps pretty fast but im concerned at how low my tooltip is. Do I just need to take more damage on the tree?

I would switch out essence worm for a diamond/opal ring with life and use enlighten instead. You’ll gain ~200 hp and a good amount of damage. Also think about getting a Stygian belt, that way you can socket a +50 hp gem with nice spell damage. Just these two changes alone should bet you ~300 hp and ~5k damage

Try running poorjoy rotation in global 820. The Devoto is much better in comparison. You gain ~33% damage, movement speed is premium.

Anyone mind taking a look at my profile in PoB? When I spam frenzy, I'm not bodyswapping. But if I cast frenzy slowly, I bodyswap every time. Spamming frenzy seems to use up all the unearth corpses with VD and doesn't leave any to bodyswap. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I have 29% cooldown recovery and 4.91 APS fully buffed.

EDIT: Oddly enough, I swapped the poet pen with unearth into my main hand and it works better. I wonder if the main hand Poet's Pen triggers a millisecond before the off-hand does, hence why the VD was taking all of the corpses when it was in my main hand.

I'm a little confused by a couple things.
1. Why do you have 3 different things reserving your mana? I know anger and herald of ash, but what's the third?
2. When do we use bodyswap, cremation, and power charge on critical? I've been mapping with just using powercharge on crit this whole time. Which is for mapping and which is for bosses? The guide is murky here, it recommends some things while you use others.
3. In the guide, you mention it's fine to get 22% Increased Cooldown Recovery. Why go for 30% on your gear then?
4. What is the Cooldown Recovery even for?

how do I get to the duelist skill tree to take vaal pact? its too looong route to go all the way.
some how you have it picked, so could you explain how?
