The reason why you are dying is probably because you only 15 unreserved mana. Wehnever Cwdt Immortal Call procs it will stop bloodrage from degening shortly because its phys damage. During that time you will reach full mana and zerphi + distillate will stop. That's why you want to have at least 1 4% reduced reservation node.

To test this you can also simply go to blood aqueduct and then activate RF, Blood Rage, Zerphi's, Distillate and Ruby Flask. Then let yourself hit monsters to see if you mana/hybrid flask stops suddenly.

You also want to have higher level purity of ice (level 23) that will give you another 2% Cold Resistance.

Without a watchers eye and a phys taken as ele helmet you only have 60ish % phys taken as ele which means that elder/shaper slams hit a lot harder. At least 50% harder than with those items.

Thanks for the input I didn't know the interaction with immortal call and blood rage, I'll need to remove immortal call then. does the 4% nodes is enough to prevent this to happen ?
Also the yellow ball during all my others elder fight i manually dodge it because it would killed me at the second ball even with all flasks active, no clue what damage it does.

Hi! I really appreciate your guide as it's teaching a new player a lot about the game.
This might be a broad question but how would an Eyes of the Greatwolf Talisman with 100% of cold damage from hits taken as fire affect this build? Cold DoT isn't converted, but would this allow me to go from your 97% cold res to lower and skip the Purity of Ice and replace the +2/3 ring for something more useful? (if there is something more useful)
Thanks again!

Yes thats something you could do. There aren't any super strong cold dots in the game. The highest is probably shaper balls/beam or maybe a vortex used in really deep delves. But that can still be outregened by zerphi's pretty easily with 90%+ cold resis.

I can't make sense of this sentence. Can you elaborate please?
