Soulthirst build needs way too much investment?

I've tried making Soulthirst work (without Soul Taker), but ended up with a Char that dies too often and can't profit from the full Soul Eater duration.
I have capped elemental resistances ~75% but ChaosDmg/Poison, Freeze/Chill and Burn/Ignite are killing me.
The Mana Flask protects me only from the worst: Bleeding.
My Life Regen, Chaos Res and Life Leech suck.



The self curse temp chains, in wretched shackles, helps having a longer soul eater effect, but at the same time it kills me more often.

The obvious solution:
(but I think it's almost impossible to achieve each at the same time)

More Life Regen and/or Chaos Res
Freeze/Chill Immunity
Burn Immunity
High Life Leech/Life Gain on Hit
Immunity to Slows, so temp chains doesn't have a big negative effect besides the positive buff duration increase.

So which class/ ascendancy/ pantheon/ item combo could achieve that?
Is that investment even worth it?

You could play with Pathfinder or Raider

They can be immune to elemental ailments (freeze, shock, ignite) in an easy way.

Life recovery, chaos resistance is just matter of equipment and/or passives.

Immunity to Slows, so temp chains doesn't have a big negative effect besides the positive buff duration increase.
getting Timetwist ring or Watcher's Eye with unaffected by Temporal Chains while affected by Haste mod seems like a perfect solution here but I am not sure about getting the positive buff.

2* Timeclasp or Timeclasp + Kikazaru would be an alternative and Kaom´s boots might help too.

Duration increase - Pathfinder is an flask expert, Druidic bite and Alchemist passives are reachable.

- Increased effect duration nodes near the Scion are also accessible but you don´t need all.

I am sure you would play more classes with more or less tweaks.

Guardian could be immune to all curses with 2* kikazaru ring - Soul Mantle build maybe?

raider is no good option, you only get immunity while phasing.

pathfinder is better, but it increases the flask effect, which is bad for this, we don't want more mana regen from the flask.

unaffected by temporal chains means that also the positive buff is gone.

kaom's boots can't be used when using omeyocan boots already. reduced effect of curses also reduces the positive buff which means Kikazaru is no option.

increased effect duration is not working for flasks, so that's pointless. (the temp chains curse can be recast...)

you can't use another belt, when this is all about the belt... come on...

Raider - Quartz Infusion - You have phasing while at maximum frenzy charges.
You are at maximum frenzy charges all the time or you can force it by using Pacifism jewel

Ok, The watcher´s or Timetwist ring are no option then but are you sure about Kikazaru and/or Timeclasp? You are still under effect of TC despite reduced effectivity?

I know but it works for TC and other things.

Why not? Bcos of loosing mana modifier on them? Why not taking MoM and the Kaom´s boots or whatever.

The cyclopean is a nice belt right:)

anyone with a good idea?
You could play a jugg so you don't need to use Kaom's roots for the slow immunity for temp chains. I've seen a guide on Youtube, can't give you a link atm but it should be easy enough to find.
