Looking for suggestions to Improve my Delirious Trickster.

Heya, Looking for some help or suggestions to improve my custom build of a Delirious Trickster.

My Weird Requirements:
1- Dual Daggers
2- Using Beacon of Madness boots and Delirious Bloodline
3- Using Fractured Armor MTX :p
4- Explosions (covered by the boots)

I am actually pretty damn happy with what I was able to put together. I went with an Impending doom setup as its the build I am most familiar with and I love the screen wide clear, curses and explosions. Mapping is extremely fast, QoL is huge with huge area explosions and then poison transfer from Bino's (although im not too sure how big of a factor Bino's plays)

Corpses:
1- Perfect Judgement Spirit (Discipline)
2- Pain Artist (Zealotry)
3- Perfect Warlord (Shares Endurance Charges and Vitality) OR Perfect Spider Matriarch (withered bonus)

Animate Guardian:
-Dying Breath Staff
-Leer Mask
-Belly of Beast WurmScale or BloodBond Bone Armour
-Rare Gloves/Boots for Resistances/MaxLife/Regen Life

My current issue's / weaknesses:
1- Little too squishy, random one shots, can't really push into fully juiced multi deli-orb content
2- My AG dies a lot and replacing his gear isn't too expensive but rather annoying and I just sorta stopped doing it.
3- I guess damage could be a little higher. Im about at 8mil in POB which 8-12 is where I usually seem to get to in leagues.
4- Dying to random degens on the ground occasionally that I cant see (cause temporal chains blacks out the map lol)

Thoughts:
I'd like to get some more Energy Shield, but I'm not a huge ES player so I am not sure the best way to get more. I am hesitant to go Chaos Innoc because it seems sub optimal with stasis prisons big damage recoup for life, along with Chaos Res on Bino's knife.

This is my first mageblood, and I made an awesome mistake thinking I could get Zealots Oath from the Sorrow Sulphur Flask, and was thinking I could use Progensis.
I feel like I should be getting Frenzy or Power charges maybe? I can get endurance ones from Perfect Warlord. It would be cool to maybe ditch the mage blood and get the belt that gives me ES recoup charges from Elemental Damage, but I feel like I am getting way too much flask effect from Enkindling orbs etc. My Res' would be wrecked if I removed MB.

I added Soulrend for cast on damage taken cause I had no idea what to put in that slot, just trying to leech more ES but no idea how big of a difference its making.

It would be super cool if I was more tanky so I could stand next to any thing and apply 15 mania stacks for the lulz

Anywho, Appreciate any suggestions from more veteran players as I'd like to take this build a bit further.

Hello all,

I just copped the Fractured Armor MTX and it looks super sick. I want to make some kind of Delirious Trickster thats insane/mad using 1-2 of the new Delirious bloodlines.

I want to do something with Dual weapons, or a Staff. Trying to stay away from shields.

I am thinking [Stasis Prison] for the chest and the [Beacon of Madness] boots (poison variant).

Then trying to scale Debuffs expire faster to limit downsides, taking [One Step ahead] with Trickster for sure. Maybe [Frantic Aspect], Runegraft of the Warp and w/e else I can find.

It seems the main build for Trickster/Assassin right now is Viper Strike of the Mamba using [Bino's Kitchen Slaughter Knife] and [Essentia Sanguis Vaal Claw]. I'd be down to use these but I was thinking of replacing one with something like [Rebuke of the Vaal] Sword since our chance to poison is 100% and I watched a video saying you can get high elemental DPS then scale Chaos damage as a good build archetype. Since we do not need poison chance, I was also wondering what skill to use instead of Viper Strike. Maybe Lightning Strike or taking this in an Impending Doom / curse direction as well.

In terms of the Delirious bloodline, I was thinking of taking "You're the crazy one", but it would also be interesting to try "That didn't happen" and just load up on cluster jewels with [Low Tolerance]. Going this way also means no Chaos Inoculation i think.

Here are two POBs I found that wanted to do something similar 1-2 leagues ago:

I am really curious is anyone has any suggestions on where to take this as I usually suck at making my own builds scale well for endgame. Thanks for any advice!
