That about sums it up.
So far I have made: oracle (ice wolf, plant, reap, choir, coc comet), shaman (bear), varashta (djinn/minion, plant, whirling assault), stormweaver (infusion), blood mage (coc comet, blood spear), pathfinder (poison, ice lance), titan (whirling assault, ember fusillade), smith of kitava (whirling assault), mercenary (crossbow)
Fully admitting I have a problem. With that embraced, any ideas on what to go for next?
Same problem brother just got into this game from suggestions from friends they all stopped I put 200 hrs into it but only 2 characters are just into maps. See a video that looks cool and boom next thing I know I’m in act 1 again
Round it out with a monk I guess. Either flicker strike, storm wave or both at the same time?
Reverse chill. Choose your flavor.
wow, pros and cons of each?

If you haven't tried a thorns warrior, they're great fun. Love reflecting karma back at bitches and if you're running through the campaign, it's a breeze after act 1 (prior to that it is a advised to rush using lightning arrow for speed or whatver your personal preference is). Requires Crown of the page king, got mine for 1 ex
The only gear that is expensive to get to endgame are the runes of tithing, last I checked they were running around a div each on currency exchange, and they are not required, just makes it even faster. I'm using cloak of flames as Armour still, midway through act 4. Only gripe is some areas have mobs that just do t seem to want to hit me - and those effi g water hags in act 3 killee me twice because I'm a moron.
KallTorak has a guide for it - https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/thorns-warbringer-kalltorak
Go with oracle, probably the most versatile of them, so you have a bigger pool of build to choose from, and still swap to shaman for the bear.
How far are you getting with them?
If you’re running a CI build or a no-ES build (armor or EB/MoM), this perfect essence modifier may do more for your build than the hybrid modifier on your chest. 15% physical taken as chaos is an enormous reduction to physical damage when you have good chaos mitigation. For me, I am a Chayula with 90% chaos resist thanks to ATD.
[Based off this concept of using invulnerable Unearth minions.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1nquubx/chaos_walking_simulator/) Since Blackflame turns Incinerate's Ignite into a Chaos DoT and Contagion-afflicted minions can proliferate all Chaos DoTs (not just ED), in theory the Compounding ignite stacking people are doing with Oil Grenade should work here too. This could be one of the fastest builds in the game, especially with how many instances of damage we should be getting. The new minion support from passives and gems make them faster, and they are already invulnerable with Brutus' Brain (which does not block their Contagion-touch from dealing damage). The issue will be solving single target (since we won't have Contagion'd minions during solo fights or fights with long downtime), which may be as simple as just running a Crossbow on Set 2. Class and gear options are pretty open. Lich, Oracle, PF and Varashta may be good immediate picks. If someone tests this before I get the chance, I'd like to know how it goes.
Loving this char, but I cannot consistently survive T15/Juiced T14 maps without getting one shotted. I'm following Woolie's Wolf Druid build, and from what I can tell, I have mostly all of the same gear/passives with specs, yet I am struggling hard and its killing my enjoyment of the game. Any tips or suggestions would be VERY much appreciated. I only have like 25 Divs to my name, so please keep that in mind. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help!
