you messed up a bit with the gearing.
first, you should get piscators for this jewelry setup. for ele damage rare wands you have to get wed jewelry.

second, i personally prefer kaom roots over ezomyte.

Yeah i have all flat light, piscator is still a 200k+ dps loss over my wand though

So I posted a few pages back that I would try this build on 2.6 with a few modifications, as a Champion instead with Queen of the Forest.

Hmm, that sounds very interesting. Do you find Champion comparable to Pathfinder in terms of this build's overall performance? I only ask because I've never played a Champion before and I've been somewhat conditioned to believe that Pathfinder is "always the strongest option".

Well to be honest I was more fixated on playing a QoTF variant and I figured I'd get more evasion as a Champion as well as the extra movespeed from the ascendancy, although tbh with Pathfinder flask efficiency it might be comparable. I also wanted to try perma Fortify+Perseverance Belt so that I had access to Onslaught without using a Silver Flask. It was more just a sort of experiment or trial, and I was very happy with it. As far as outright comparison between the two, when I opened Ace's Pathfinder version on Path of Building and switched it to a Champion, and made slight change to tree (to accommodate different starting position) I lost about 5% damage (with identical gear), but of course there'll be underlying changes as well to Flask Duration/Effect and things like that. Plus one of the biggest upsides to a Pathfinder that can also reach the Alchemist nodes is that you achieve 50% Flask Effectiveness which gives you an additional arrow from Dying Sun which is huge.

One small note is that Champion might also be a safer choice if you play Hardcore league. In the past there have been Wander builds that go Champion because of the Ascendancy "First to Strike, Last to Fall" which gives you 200% increased evasion when you reach low life, increasing your avoidance chance against Reflect Damage when you are Accuracy-based (so not using Lycosidae or RT) - not exactly applicable in this case, as I was using Lycosidae, but just something to consider if you wanted to play on HC.

Anyway overall I won't say one is better than the other, I only played it as Champion so I can't compare it anyway, but generally I would agree with you that Pathfinder is the "OP" ascendancy most of the time and is almost always a safe bet, but at the same time I'll say that the Champion variant I played was very smooth, fun, and functional and I had no complaints, I cleared all content, Guardians, Shaper, Chayula Breach Lord, Uber Lab (didn't try Uber Atziri) and never felt dismayed at the performance in any regard, and that was with about ~4600-5000 life throughout most of my play.
