Life modifiers do not apply
Skull Blow grants Life, but Chaos Inoculation fixes Life at 1. Move that investment to Energy Shield or another active defensive layer.

Improve minion damage

Identified gaps
Elemental resistances
Cold 71%/75%, Lightning 61%/75% below current cap.
The further elemental resistances are below the current cap, the more dangerous hard map and boss hits become.
Movement speed
114% is well below the usual 138%–162% range for similar builds.
Lower speed usually means slower map clear, worse repositioning, and less room to dodge boss mechanics.
Primary damage
40.2K is below the usual 48.4K–317K range for similar builds.
This usually means boss phases take too long or rares live long enough to pressure your defenses.
