Help with melee build

My friend keeps constantly dying with his cyclone build;

What does he need to change in order to make this build viable? He keeps saying the game's unfair to melee builds but I somewhat doubt that.

His helmet. He's dying constantly because of his helmet. He needs a lot more life and a different helmet. His tree is otherwise pretty good.

The build simply has no defenses whatsoever. No Guard Skill, negative chaos res, average armor with Abyssus, no elemental mitigation aside from +2 max res, just basic life leech of 800 which is like nothing in todays POE and very low dps. Even with just mild juice every second rare in a T16 map can probably oneshot or at least 2 shot him no matter the damage type because he is so frail on all fronts.

There is honestly so much missing i don't even know where to start with making suggestions. If your friend is already thinking that the game is unfair to melee (it kinda is to a degree tbh) then it's probably better if he just rerolls into something else. For a trapper or totem build this level of defense setup might actually work out...
