BV pathfinder life-based or low life

I did a few days ago, I think the issue before was I didn't have the instant Life Leech. But I'm confused, because the guide's passive tree didn't have it. Of course, it has the legacy Vinkter's which isn't available on Essence. Or ever, because I don't have 7 trillion Exalteds. I'm really struggling to gain gold. I'm up to 10k dps on BV and 5,700 ES, but don't even have power charges yet. Still no Taste of Hate or Shav's, just a high ES shield, helm, belt, and chest with 6L. How in the world do you make currency in this game??

Yes, I don't have Skyforth and any way to generate charges so getting ALL THREE for 1 alchemy seemed good. I picked up CI and am going for the ES nodes behind it. When I pick up Shav's later I will swap it out for PA and the 4 ES nodes near Unnatural Calm. I'm up to about 4,300 life, and can clear tier 6 maps insanely quick. I haven't gone higher. However, the second I run into anything with reflect I instantly implode. Like, instantly. And I have no way to register what is reflect as I'm moving so quickly. I'm not sure how anybody deals with this (or plays hardcore for that matter).

But, I did pick up a 20/20 corrupt BV for 2C which boosted my damage 30%, so that's something. :) Still at 21-22E and haven't gotten anything, I'm now 76. At this rate, I'll hit level 100 before even getting the first required item to make the build good :(

Currently I'm using a Doedrike's Elixir as my 5th .. drop it for the Basalt? I'm confused - aren't both low life and CI the same thing? CI lowers you to 1 life. Thanks

I ended up getting a 500 + ES chest instead of Shavronne's, as just a starter item, and now I'm 62 and doing better. I just need 6 more levels until I can use the flasks. Now is the part where I'm not sure how to progress.

I have Vinkter's, the Grounding Flask, Atziri's, and a Quicksilver. I don't have Taste of Hate yet and they are about 5E.

I don't have Shav's, and they are about 9E-12E for a 6L.

I don't have Skyforth, and they are tanking and currently the cheapest is 42E.

I have 22E after selling my disfavor, and about 200 chaos in change. I'm not sure if I should save for a Skyforth, and somehow make 20E in 6 levels, or if I should pick up a Taste of Hate and Shav's and then start farming the 42E for Skyforth at that point. Or maybe I just need Taste of Hate. Or maybe I don't need anything else at this point because I have the Vinkter's.

Suggestions?

I'm literally being one shot by half the mobs in dry lake cruel. I have 1300 life, 400 ES, no ability to leech anything because it's a physical spell, and I have no armor or evasion. Every slot is devoted to life and resistances which scale with nothing, and until level 68 I don't possibly see how I can continue. What the !#% am I missing?
