First of all, I want to start by saying this is an amazing build.
I leveled up to 88 this league using this build, farmed like a God, indeed.
I think the best "form" of this build is using shaper gloves with lv 18 faster projectiles, projectiles speed and attack and cast speed, thus dropping blade vortex setup for the Lightning Tendrils/GC setup(wich, I got to say is MELTING everything). Switched to it yesterday because I am one of those lazy players who just hate to constantly cast the spell and being "restricted" by BV, because if you are dodging for a long time you just lose all the stacks and by the time you get the 20 stacks(max dps) on, you kinda miss your only time of doing some actual damage to the boss. Another thing I noticed was that I played with double daggers, felt kinda squishy so I tried some new stuff, and the BiS shield I really think is Magna Eclipsis. This shield is amazing, gotta say, alongside with tons of armor, it comes with a very interesting skill:Level 20 Elemental Aegis wich is, in simple terms a 1k Energy shield that protects you against elemental damage. After changing from BV to Lightning Tendrils, and to Magna Eclipsis I tought doing a guardian. Cleared Maze of the Minotaur deathless, tanked about everything that's possible there whitout dying.
TLDR: If this build feels squishy you're doing something wrong.

Also, people that changed from BV to Lightning tendrils/GC setup should drop chernobog and get a better shield, Magna Eclipsis is one very OP shield and very cheap too, if the ones at sale are very expensive you can just use the recipe for it(https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Magna_Eclipsis).

Other maps cleared deathless: T15 Carcass, T14 Acid Lakes(only types of t14/15 I yet dropped)

Why Vinktar with added dmg to spells is better then actually convert 20% phys to lightning? Isnt that better for bv if I use only gem so I dont have full 100% converted?

Yes you can, but I don't think you'll get anything to deal the same damage, I colored my inpulsa with only 100 chromes and it's not that much.

And I did not change anything in my talent tree, everything is the same, as for the chernobog, I really don't understand how that shield is better than magna eclipsis, the phys conversion won't help for the LT/GC setup, and we already have enfeeble on CWDT and wipe pretty much every pack of mobs before it even gets anywhere near us, so if it's only for that "25% chance to Curse non-Cursed Enemies with Enfeeble on Hit" I think it's not worth it, magna gives life/armor and another layer of defense, I'll stick with it since it feels tankier.

Hi, sure you should stick with it when it feels better for you. I really think every player should adapt the gear & setup to his playstyle because not every setup works for everyone. So I really think it is good that you try things out and that you search for the best setup for you.

The physical to fire convertion will help for this setup because glacial cascade only converts 60% to cold damage. Also the added damage to spell helps this setup. The 25% chance is also a good layer of defense. I must confess I never tested the magna eclipsis myself but I just don'T think that the additional armour and the 1000 elemental shield will be good enough to compete with chernobog's. Maybe when you use the shield for a more important setup... f.e. your herald, onslaught & arctic armour setup with +2 level to gems it would be better.

Maybe I will try the shield out and I will admit that I am wrong :)

If we use LT Instead of BV Do we need spark still? Since This setup with LT and Glacial Cascade seems like its aoe or am I wrong?
