Can barely scratch General Gravicius. What do I need to improve?

So I'm using Cleave with double sword. The physical version of the build called Blender. Here's my equip:


And my build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBAecFLQbuDq0R1RIgEuEUIBR1Fx0Y2xpVG_odyiFgJd8otSjbKaUyCTQ1Nug67UCgQ5xHfkp9UEdT31cNV5dY21uvXotgQWBLYIhhIWFSYxdjcGSjZU1noHTtdPF674N8hNmE74d2kAqRzpdwmSubLZuDnrmezZ_LpBmnMKgHq8W77b2BvqfAD8EHz_jSIdJN1FLXft0N3-_vTu_j9778xQ==

I took +40 hp, +18% Physical Damage and +1 Endurance Charge.

My fire resist isn't capped but it's at 69% and with th 6 Endurance Charges, it is at 75%.

I managed to kill the other guys around him so it was just him. I had 6 Endurance Charges and still I had to run away to not die after only a few seconds. What's worse is that I barely took out his ES, if any. I even tried Bear Traps which is on level 15 and it also barely touches his ES.

I also tried taking 2 Ruby Flasks so I could tank him and I still would barely hurt his ES.

I don't remember having all these troubles with my Ground Slam Marauder.

What do I need to change in order to kill him?

Use Viper Strike and Vulnerability. It makes him and any ES boss a lot easier.

I'm now leveling up a bit before I try him again. Meanwhile I 4Led some of my equipment and got a Reduced Mana gem which allows me to use haste alongside Grace and Hatred. I also replaced Faster Attacks for Melee Physical Damage on my Cleave and began leveling Viper Strike. After getting +30 Str and the 3 +hp nodes next to it I'll try again with Viper Strike.

Changeling: I don't like your build. You take several +hp nodes but you get them from branches I don't wanna go. And you also drop the Endurance Charges which I really like.

Your Builds fine, but Viper strike will make a huge difference.
I also don't think added fire damage, effects fire trap. But it would help Bear Trap, as it does physical damage.

if you would like to take him with your current build id suggest upping the life leech on a couple pieces of jewelery... when you "run away for a couple sec" his es recharges and you will never get him..so make it where you can stay in the fight longer once his es is gone it is all downhill from there...try to grab vaal pact if you havent already that helps to keep that precious life maxed...of course this is just my opinion im sure someone that can take him out faster might have better suggestions it takes me a whole 5 sec or so...

@ changeling ..I am a glass cannon lol look at my thread under kamikaze build
