Help with spark stormweaver build

Hello everyone, I am a beginner with path of exile 2. I finished the campaign and now I am sitting at level 80. I was following animeprincess spark stormweaver build which went for chaos inoculation. However, where I am right now is that I have only 4.3k or so ES, which makes me feel relatively squishy. I also, went and added crit damage and my damage is around 10k for both spark and orb of storms, which I feel is enough at this point, as I do not know how to increase at this stage. Maybe anyone can help me in how to increase energy shield or in general how to fix my build to have higher ES and damage? Here is the link to my build: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ir6990od Thank you for helping me out!

Act 2 Stutter / Lag Issues NEED HELP

I have been randomly dealing with the most annoying issue I ever had with a game in a long while. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is the fix for this stuttering issue that is occurring in only the ACT 2 area. I tried loading other areas on multiple characters and they all work fine. It is only the caravan desert and titan grotto stuff. I can tell there is some sort of corrupted file or shader. I have tried: Deleting the cached shader files (along with every file in the directory) for POE2 in %appdata% roaming I have done disk cleanup on multiple drives with the shaders etc I have done ping tests, route traces, speed tests. All normal. I have Reinstalled Nvidia drivers, custom install clean install I have upped the shader cache in 3d manager for nvidia control panel I have optimized graphics, lowered them, upped them I have swapped the rendering to Vulkan and back a few times I have swapped audio channels to low I have tried everything including uninstalling the game and redownloading it, verifying the integrity of the files I even overclocked my damn GPU Please help...

Level 93 Hybrid Ice Shot Deadeye [PoE 2]

Level 93 Hybrid Ice Shot Deadeye [PoE 2]

(reposting with a Pobb link that has accurate stats) This is my first season in Poe and I\\m having a blast, I really like the build I have cobbled together but was wondering if anyone has any tweaks to make it better. I can do T15 maps reliably and T16 with a bit of risk (especially bosses are risky). I dont want to change the build completely as I enjoy it but suggestions on tweaks are welcome. The build is centered around ice Shot, multiple mirages, herald of ice. Increased projectile speed also plays a significant role (I think). Dps on ice shot is now 92,772 but i think that in large mobs Cadiros Gambit increases it significantly in practice. This also doesnt count the two mirages that are near constantly actively spamming even more ice shot or de 11k+ damage that herald of ice sets off in large mobs. (One of the mirages does damage for around 44k dps and the other around 31k dps i think, I cant get Mirage Deadeye to lead into Pobb but it should be the same only 50% damage instead of 70%). all damage numbers are with an active flask (Lavianga's Spirits), under the assumption that you've frozen something recently, and that an enemy is chilled when hit (the last bit only applies to a enemy that needs two hits to die...) I have lightning rod in there with lightning arrow to be able to focus down bosses. Lightning rod does 22k dps and lightning arrow 37k but the latter triggers the former and with two shots placing the cap of 8 rods and hem triggering on the boss i think (think...) that that 22k goes times 8 making it a sweet 176k dps with the arrows themselves adding another 37k making it 213k dps total. If it works like i think it does anyway. (And don't forget that the two mirages are still spamming 75k dps worth of iceshot the whole time!) Now the ice shot is way better at clearing because, i believe, the arrows AND the ice shards can chain. and split, with cadiros gambit this shout happen often as you fire 4-5 arrows per shot.. I just realized that forking and the splinter on Cadiro are probably not interchangeble, anyone know where i can get a chance to fork to not let a passive go to waste? So anybody have any idea on things i have missed? Do i have mechanics that work differently than i think? does shotgunning with lightningrod actually work?
