Fix these first. They are concrete conflicts in the current setup, not general build advice.
Life modifiers do not apply
Plague Keep grants Life, but Chaos Inoculation fixes Life at 1. Move that investment to Energy Shield or another active defensive layer.

How this build works
Chaos Inoculation
Chaos Inoculation makes Life and Chaos Resistance poor upgrade targets. Focus defensive upgrades on Energy Shield and your other active layers.

Improve elemental hit protection
fixUpgrade defensive slots with block, energy shield, evasion, and cold resistance so the item matches how this build actually survives.
Justification
5.9K is well below the usual 9.7K–18.2K range for similar builds. Improve the relevant elemental hit layers: life, energy shield, ward, block, or maximum elemental resistance where it applies.

Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Fire 30%/75%, Lightning 73%/75% below current cap.
The further elemental resistances are below the current cap, the more dangerous hard map and boss hits become.
Elemental max hit
5.9K is well below the usual 9.7K–18.3K range for similar builds. Improve energy shield, ward, block, maximum fire resistance, and maximum cold resistance for larger elemental hits.
This usually means large hits are the danger point, even if clearing trash feels fine.
Movement speed
119% is well below the usual 131%–166% range for similar builds.
Lower speed usually means slower map clear, worse repositioning, and less room to dodge boss mechanics.
