Sorry if I seem confused, but I'm bad at this game.

In your levelling guide-part you have a link to your leveling passive trees, where Ascension have it listed that you first go to Pendulum of Destruction, then Mastermind of Discord, *then* Shaper of Desolation and lastly Beacon of Ruin.

But earlier, you specifically have a part where you go over Ascension, Bandits, etc, and there you have it the other way around - reach Beacon first, *then* Mastermind of Discord.

Which one is it? Because I went Beacon of Ruin, but got confused when I looked closer to the levelling trees you had linked.

Just tried this build in Standard. If a rare mob or god forbid a map boss just sneezes your way - you're dead. Delve depth 300+ is like sending a child for a walk through all 9 circles of Hell. This is the Holy Grail of glass cannon builds :D

Yep the version I proposed is a glass canon, but as any build you will find on the forum or YouTube, Reddit or whatever site you like, you should always find the balance between offense and defense that fits your playstyle, skill, knowledge of the game.
I personally don't need more survivability because I have the habit to read rare monster mods, know the pattern of mob packs depending on the type of monsters inside it and know the pattern of bosses pretty much by heart. But if you prefer to play while chilling and not caring about all that you will have to build a bit more defenses.

For example in your case you could drop the Nimbleness Cluster, the Jewel next to it and skip Alchemist then path by the 3 int nodes between Throatseeker and Annihilation. Then pick up Coldhearted Calculation (drop the Str and Int node), then Blood Drinker and the jewel next to it and finally Resourcefulness.
That way you should reach 6k2 effective HP and stll have points to put if you decide to level up (Lethal Assault, Power Charges,...), the offensive potential should be relatively close to what you had.
On gear you could find Shaper base gloves with global chance to Blind on hit do dodge literally half of the attacks.

Don't take a build guide for something immovable, tweak them to your convenance and post your version in the thread so any player that is having the same issues or the same playstyle can benefit from it !
