pouncezon doesnt really have multi hitting thas worth mentioning iirc
might rather use Jah runes instead of Gems for CB

im not quiet sure why u use NIH Boots, stats dont really seem to fit pouncezon needs
Abadoned dex craft should be alot better, maybe even ath boots instead of nih for 1 skill and 5% dr

well u use the light belt for ll and the poison damage i guess, instead of curare you could try using paragon for alot more life and go for vith belt aswell for additinal 10% dr

if its just for baal, could respec for bloodzon

pouncezon doesnt kill D baal unless you are using dozens of tp's, respec for blood zon.

for better pounce you def need 40-50% DR too. Use a taha runeword dbl orb maiden pike with 7x LL orbs and 2x %ed. Roll for 24-25%dr, 4zon, 14+ warp armor. Also get -100 enemy psn res

dont use Jah runes, your main source of dmg as a pounce zon is curare. (except for D baal as he is psn immune)

That's th guide I used for gearing up. However, I don't like sets (or rather: farming sets from grisworld) so I basically skipped that step, since I do have a few items that I could use for my pouncezon.
I did remake my weapon. That's the new one. Gotta go try if I can go on without my ll belt now.

Shower of rocks or spike nova on kill will be much more useful than those other on striking procs you've been showing.

Having a spell damage proc on a Pouncezon is poo, especially compared to a WDM proc which will go off a lot more often, help with crowd AoE damage and also leech more for you since you said you're struggling with that.
