I feel my gear is alright, but i'm at a point where i can't quite deal with high tier deliriums (T14-16ish range). Some goes okay (never really hit more than 3 stacks of rewards) and others i die a few times in. I'm not entirely sure if this is because i'm playing wrong or simply because I can't clear the packs fast enough. Some advice would be appreciated if anyone is currently running those maps without problems.
Here's my current gear:

I also have a 13% lightning penetration while affected by Wrath watchers eye.
At a glance, you're missing A LOT of flat damage. You have about 500-550 (not sure if I mathed right) flat damage even though a jewel with 2 lightning rolls can provide about 40 flat damage if not more, which equates to 8% MORE damage (though I don't agree with scaling lightning damage only, I'd rather scale general elemental damage). Since your wand is really lacking flat damage, accuracy, and increased damage, it probably isn't the best wand for you. Piscator's may potentially do better than it, check POB. Also, I strayed away from the tree and used cluster jewels. You can get some really nutty rolls, HUGE damage increases (and I mean 40%+ damage per notable), and a lot of jewel sockets. You may want to give it a look, I have some on my character if you want (assuming you can see my profile).
@HorribleSubs that varies significantly from person to person, for me, POB says Wand Slinger is the best, but that may not be the same for you. That's where you need to look at POB and figure for yourself which is best.
I had a look at your cluster jewels, it does increase my dps by ~30% if i got jewels that look like yours and remove most of the nodes left of point blank. I'm guessing if you do that there's no way to really hit 5k life is there? besides swapping out QOTF which means losing 75% movement speed. (most of my items have 75+ life, QOTF 63, boots 72, belt 96, shield 75)

You still can get to 5k life through using medium/small cluster jewel with life nodes. I currently have 5.1k life on my wander without taking any nodes left of point blank, and without anything too crazy in my gear.

I got some cluster jewels and made some changes to the tree. i'm currently sitting at just below 5k hp (should be able to get it past 5k with a better shield if i can find one). What do you think should be my next upgrade(s)?
Currently working on a better wand with higher flat lightning. On that note, do you think this one is worth yolo annulling then multimod or would i be better off to just keep spamming essences? It has the essence of wrath mod + tier 2 flat + lightning pen hybrid.

I think that wand worth a multimod, you can craft two out of attack speed, crit chance, and damage penetrate ele res (or spell damage if you have wandslinger), depending on what pre/suffix you annul.
Besides the wand I guess the only big upgrade would just be a two mod eye.

I'll see if anulling is on my side later then. Do you know roughly how much impact a -9% lightning res helmet or the elusive + tailwind boots would have?
mostly curious as a 2 mod watcher's eye would be about 5ex out of my range atm.

As for dps, I believe -9 lightning res is similar to starkonja (10 AS and 25 crit chance), but you will have much lower evasion, and probably slightly lower life. So a rare helmet will be better off only if you have good life and res roll too. Similar for boots, tailwind + elusive with trash mods is definitely not worth it.
Personally I'd like to cover my res on boots, so I can use rings with pure offensive rolls (cause there are much better dps mods on rings than boots)
Crafting a good helmet should be doable with a couple of Ex, while a good tailwind + elusive boots (with life, res and MS) can cost much more than a two mod eye, so I definitely won't focus on that
Alright, so i slightly bricked the wand i linked earlier. I got a new one that's similar but i'm unsure how to craft it and would like some input.
It only has 2 prefixes which means i could multimod on 11-13% attack speed and 25-27% critical strike chance and I'd have one prefix open for a slam. Would this be the best option or should i rather craft % increased lightning damage and leave out either attack speed or crit chance?

In most cases, crit + AS should be better, you can check the dps on POB to confirm though.
I recently got my hands on a new wand, which I was going to use on my vd-spellslinger. However, I've pretty much maxxed out that build, so was wondering if it would be a great wand to use with this sort of power siphon/kb build? Is this something that's worth building around?
I can scour off the power charge suffix (and tier 2 ias) and craft 3 metamod suffixes still.
Thanks!
