ADVICE CoC ES/Armor build

Hello.

Im trying to crate my own build that will fit my needs and my playstile.

It was long development where i changed and remaked the build many times from pure ES(300%es EK no dmg nodes) build to the build i want to show you and that i want to know any advices notes etc...

With this build i want to have big defense and big dmg
so what i made is that i combinated pure defense + pure support/aura + CoC build

there is what i have created:

Gems:
Spoiler

body: CoC setup = barage+CoC+GMP+Arctic Breath/ice spear+Firebal+ another spell or PCoC

helm:
1)Low level CWDT-arc-pcoc+more criticals(for shock and charges, depends on your opinion abot charges ... see below at my questions)
2)low level CWDT-curse-frost wall-EC (for defense)

gloves: Auras= reduced mana+discipline+determination+vitality

boots: Hight level(around 30-50% of my ES) Cwdt-EC-IC-(molten shell OR curse OR frost wall)

wand: warp+faster casting+reduced duration

ring: AA

shield: Buffs/Auras
1)BM+PurityL+PuerityC
2)BM+ herald thunder+ herald cold
3)for prism guardian can be one of 1. or 2. variant + 1aura (clarity, purity elements,haste or VAAL)

GEAR:
Spoiler

Im not sure about mana , have enought from tree but still .... propably mana on most pieces of gear , IDK.

body:
im going low life (only around 50% but still)
I already have 6s Solaris so i need just link it at least to 5l, shavs are my long term goal

Helm:
ES/ress

Gloves:
ES/ress/Cast speed, long term goal Voidbringer )

boots:
Armour/ES/speed/stats
have Windscream, long goal propably Rainbowstride/Gang's Momentum

Wand:
Crit/attack speed/projectile speed/dmg

Ring:
Crit, 1socket for AA, Crit multi, stats, resists,%ES

Shield:
ES/spell dmg/resists/stats

Belt:
stats/ress , long term goal Auxium or Immortal flesh

Amulet:
mana/ress/%ES/crit idk what all can i get there :D



"long term goal" mean that i will never get them by myself .... just wet dreams for me (RNG gods dont like me) :D

Bandits:
Spoiler
Right now all passive


What i want to know is your opinion about this build, advice on leveling/gear/gameplay, what would you change in build/gem setup, etc... everythink is useful for me ...

Alredy have some (3) maping chars but they seem boring/slow... (MF totem/crit arc/incernate),all byilds from forum
so im trying to make something that will fit my style

my questions are:
1) if i have enought ES/armour to not be killed easyli
2) if i have enought crit to run CoC
3) if i have enought dmg nodes to make decent damage
4) isnt 5 power charges too much ?? im not sure if i will be able to have alle 5 of hem at one time , if yes should i spect the 2 nodes near templar to Endurance charge ? or somevhere other ?
5)for power charges is cwdt-Arc-pcoc enought to get charges or should i sacrifice one socket (if i get 6l, i realylike the idea of having 3elements spells in coc) in CoC setup
6) do i need power charges at all ??
7)have i enought mana/manaregen to run AA without clarity



Thank you wery much for reading and giving some feedback to me.
Sorry for my poor english :D

Not sure if the crit chance for barrage is high enough. You would be better off investing in some accuracy nodes (Depth Perception) instead of spell crit. If you miss with your attacks you trigger nothing.

Mana regeneration ain't needed imo. A lvl 1 barrage doesn't use much mana. Wearing some elreon ring or amu will eliminate the mana costs almost entirely.
Don't run AA. It won't help against reflect but would require investing in mana/mana reg nodes that are of no use for your main skill.
