All your gear that has life rolls on has low rolls for life, and low evasion rating.
Unique belt is the prime candidate for upgrading, try to swap it for a rare leather belt. It should be easy to upgrade that, the rest might be a bit more expensive. If you can make up the resists there, you can swap your boots to Atziri's Step.
Consider using rares with high life and evasion instead of Rat's Nest and Maligaro's until you have better gear overall.
You didn't link your rings and amulet but they should also have 70+ life.

Self-cast Enduring Cry.
Add a curse to your CWDT: Enfeeble or Warlord's Mark, or Temporal Chains as you happen to have a green slot.

That 4-Link for Blink Arrow is basically completely wasted imo, try putting some Vaal skills instead, I like Vaal Grace a lot for fighting bosses and opening boxes, you can also put in a Golem if you can be bothered to keep it up. Keep Blink Arrow but don't use any supports for it.

Keep an eye out for jewels with Life % + anything that increases your damage (crit chance, multi, %physical damage, AS with bows, Projectile damage, etc...) or leech.

Can this be done as primarily armor instead of evasion? Playing HC and evasion just feels so rippy. Infact I did just RIP to a unique rakano in kaoms, and felt like I probably would have survived if i had decent phys reduction instead of evasion.

so yeah, how is it with armor?

The biggest problem is that the build is almost entirely in the dex part of the tree, so you're not getting many STR nodes. Getting enough green sockets on an armor chest for a 6L is likely to be hard too.

So it isn't about just IR but real armor base?

Anyway, even if so :

but srsly I'm thinking he thought about Iron Reflexes. (Unless I'm missing something, that's also possible).

Thanks, one thing Ive been wondering is if you still need the same amount of leech as you did on the pre-2.0 version, not sure if the leech from the skilltree is enough now, which is mainly why im keeping the wurm's molt.

You lose acrobatics and phase acrobatics too, which constitute a very significant portion of your defences.

I don't see much advantage tbh.

I thought about hybrid gear, if you taken enough* of that eva/arm nodes around duelist you'd have, well, some armor after *1/2. Better than nothing, plus granite flasks with +xx% more armor and you have that say, 40% reduction on top of evasion and dodge. Plus 3 endu ch, AA and you're quite sturdy. Also many hybrid uniq chests are pretty decent def-wise - Lighting Coil, Bellys or D. Defiance

*enough equals all of them, plus most likely 1 or 2 additional jewels with arn/eva. Or taking stuff separately, but that seems not economical

Even putting one of that jewel in all 3 available sockets would only flip about half of the skilltree dex nodes over 120-150 of 310 (depending on what happens with the two on the line); to which you'd add another 60 strength from normal STR nodes. You'd still be short in strength I think.

IR itself got nerfed a patch or two back since the bonus eva from dex nodes. You might be able to work; but you'd be fighting the skill tree all the way; and because of how armor scales it soaks a much smaller percentage of the big hits that 1-shot you than the little nuisance hits you can leech your way through anyway. IF you want to try it, post and let us know how it goes; but I think it's probably a bad idea.

Rat's nest costs ~5ex on warbands right now. Is it still worth buying it or just roll with a rare until it goes down in price?
