Inextricable Fate Boots, Yes they CAN work, but some parts need changed

I've been testing and enjoying the Inextricable Fate Boots https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Inextricable_Fate



For those of you who don't know how they CAN work. The grasping vines afflicted on the nearby monsters appear to be at a distance of about a little more than a full flameblast away. Grasping vines also work with: Nature's Patience https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Nature%27s_Patience

When combined, this means that you can receive up to 20 grasping vines afflicted on you when you take a critical strike. This means 40% chance to deal double damage and 20% less damage taken.

I use these with The Brass Dome https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Brass_Dome
and Reckless Defense https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Reckless_Defence
to ensure that I get those vines. Combined with Unwavering Stance.

The Grasping vines are only lost a little with Whirling Blades and Leap Slam movement Skills.

So the defensive and movement part of the boots works and is quite cool.

The problem with the boots is two fold. These two effects:

"Nearby stationary Enemies gain a Grasping Vine every 0.5 seconds
All Damage inflicts Poison against Enemies affected by at least 3 Grasping Vines"

The problem is for one thing, that you would have to freeze them to make those vines work, and the poison effect doesn't synnergize with that.

My Feedback is the vines should apply more rapidly as 0.5 seconds is far too slow in this game. It also basically eliminates using ranged skills as there's a chance you'll be too far away etc. Every option of using this effect just seems too slow and not worthwhile. I even have essentially the perfect setup to use this build. I'm running Fist of War with Earthquake. The attack speed would still be a slight problem as 0.5s is too slow. Another problem is I would essentially have to stand there for 1.5 seconds before attacking. That's a death sentence. Maybe the other way of running quick weak attacks that slowly add other types of damage to the poison is how it's supposed to work? but nobody does that. It would be even slower than what I mentioned.

That's my feedback, make the vines on enemies work faster. Perhaps 0.2 seconds would be perfect. Or make that part a skill itself so you can improve the rate the vines apply? like "Grants Level 20 Grasping Vines Skill" so I can put an Empower on there or something.

Edit: Actually have another idea as well. Grasping vines themselves do nothing to slow down a monster really. Maybe make them affect players and monsters differently so the grasping vines on monsters aren't broken by movement but slow less than on players or something.

Edit2: Also, I forgot to mention that chance to deal double damage granted by the Nature jewel doesn't actually affect poison unless maybe using Cruelty? This sort of could mean that the boots don't seem to synnergize with themselves.

Also, another players feedback here is probably a good suggestion.

If anyone else reads this, hopefully you have an idea of how these boots can actually be used at least defensively.
