1) as we are ranged dps, i really like 13 snow queen 8 ice elementals for having 5 more blockers. therefor i would take warp armor+snow queen instead of warp armor+vengeful power. -> we also dont have to respec if we need more blockers for specific bosses
in general, i think warp armor > vengeful power, because we dont really need the 20% more phys res, do we? another idea would be - snow queen and vengeful power; but i think that having 17% avoid dmg is better than just having 20% phys res (and +8% life), because
a) we usually aren't in melee range and
b) we dont have crystalline barrier from cold tree, so we are taking much more dmg from projectiles/ele dmg.
2) so at 130 i'd like to respec to 10 specialization already and go with:
the upcoming skill points would go to thunderstone until 30 (at lvl 144 then) - bus this is only theorycrafting, not sure if we dont have to respec to 30 thunderstone anyway, because of low single target dps otherwise.
3) merc - as we are ranged dps, usually a A2 or A5 melee merc would be better option? or would he die anyway, even with endgame su/ssu gear? then we can use A1 priest or A3 for example
what do you think?
The "just" 20% phys res, 8%max life and around 50% spell dmg when get hit is IMO better as the ice elementals and ~100 k def more.
I dont know where you want to farm, but from my experience having close to max (50%) phys dr is more enjoyable gameplay.
I dont know, im always in melee range cause ill teleport into a pack of enemys, cast my spells, run forward and repeat. Thats why im using a A1 ranger merc.
Atm i have enough dps to kill the neon fiends in fauzt in 1-2 casts, in the early fauzt runs i needed like 5-6 casts to kill them, so the ranger merc with arrowside and barrage dealt with them.
For me, i dont like the thunderstone skill, feels clunky and slow. Maxed forked lightning and teleporting on top of a boss deals more / equal the dmg as a thunderstone.

Doing well, the dmg boost is useful.
What about a high dexterity requirement? -req jewels and +dex belt/boots?
Dont know how much charms you have, but i got the most common ones and i placed 6x trash - req jewels in my attana khans dress to use it right after respec, only thing that needs dex is celestial barrier, for this i use fal crafted jewels with -10% req and 2% spell dmg ( common on these crafts imo )
I think i placed str mo's on boots to carry su heavy belt.
