@kevinbrightblade no I wouldn't craft frenzy charges instead of endurance ones because the whole point of endurance charges in this build is so you don't get 1-shot by physical damage which evasion builds tend to be weak against once evasion fails. Unless you're sure you want to swap to more glass cannon setup.

You could try withering step instead of phase run for "speed up" while backtracking, the only problem is it shares cooldown with dash / flame dash but maybe with second wind it would be fine (it's still personal preference though).

I tried withering step for while, and then I died because I was out of flame dash charges. And that was with second wind.

Even if we don't swap min charge crafts, what do you think of Green Nightmare vs Transcendent Mind?

For this build, I'm wondering if it's better to use a 2 passive small cluster jewel or a 3 passive one. The 3 passives will give 1% extra dodge, but is that worth the additional passive point spent?

Transcendent Mind jewel node in the top center of the tree requires a bit more investment to reach than Green Nightmare. To spec all the way up to the jewel socket you're looking at a 5 point investment, vs. 2 for Green Nightmare. If you're looking to fully de-spec out of the Herbalism wheel and toss points up into Cruel Prep, you're looking at a 7 vs 9 point allocation (assuming you grab the second 5% max life node behind Cruel Prep to keep your life total the same as before), meaning you lose a net of 2 skill points overall. At that point you're looking at de-specing further life or DPS notables most likely in order to cover the differential, easiest ones would probably be one of the ones from the 'end' of a large cluster jewel. Taking a look at those (at least in my tree) I would be a losing 4% DoT DPS in de-specing two points, on top of the situational DPS loss from not gaining frenzy charges. Basically, probably not worthwhile in my opinion as those nodes are just too far off of our main branch to be super efficient. However, you could swap out green nightmare for a well-rolled normal jewel, get more life as well as more 'always-on' DPS.

By my count it's nine passives to pick up the Green Nightmare set up (Jewel Socket, Survivalist, Herbalism and 6 small passives) and nine passives to pick up the Transcendent Mind setup (Jewel Socket, Cruel Preparation and 7 small passives).
