I don't see the point to stack so much fire spell dmg when it's only good if you're using Seven Heads scythe or crafted one with a cataclysm proc. Also why would you need lghtn spell dmg? If Stormblast proc is the reason, it won't increase your dmg, because it just converts your wdm to lightning. If you're using Shaad RW, obviously, poison SD/-enemy res makes much more sense.

Looks like you got a mess in your gear. If you still have good skillspeed then it's ok, but you better concentrate on a single source of elem. damage (e.g. poison). If you have Dragonfire Oil smaxed, the keep these -59 res, its fine if you are aiming for -100 enemy res. Life leech is aslo fine.

Well, actually / aka slash means that you have to do either X or Y thing. Thus, you have to choose only one of two: fire or lightning source of dmg. The part of the guide where you read such a sentence was about crafted weapons (I can say it without looking into it). Other than having Mind Flay proc from a crafted scythe, stacking lghtn SD and -res is pointless.

MOs should be -enemy res for amulet and rings, you can put some in your gear too.

1. Cold res is way too high compared to other resists. Your solution is to make honorific boots and MO them with all res orbs and +6 each resist (except cold probably).
2. Defence is low. You were asking about MO's - aim for %Ench.Def at all of them.
3. You don't need so much fire dmg if you're using Shaad. Punishers benefit from poison SD while Dragonfire Oil only needs -fire res. Now, if you were using Toesie Warmer for Lava Pit proc, it would be more useful. I've mentioned that in the guide - what %SD/-res should one aim in different situations. Please, be more attentive next time.

Overall verdict - you need more sources of defence (TCD - at least 200k; aim for 250k before Vizharan buff and at least 250 all flat resists). Even 114% LL won't save you from a random attack in case you get hitlocked.

Use rare amulet with doom proc. No need to change anything in skill tree. And yes, ethereal armors cannot be MO'd.
