Maybe you could tell us why you're dying? I take it you're farming the aatxes in the Labyrinth? What's happening to cause your deaths?

As a casual farmer, myself.... Looking at the build, it looks like you rely on using Rupture Soul on Destruction to trigger some damage and blindness. While a capable solo farmer would probably have no problem accomplishing that on a reliable basis, a UW newbie might struggle to keep up with it.

I also solo UW Labyrinth (on a ranger, but have also done it with a rit) with an SoS spirit spam build. I use most of the spirits you do, but I put a bit more into Communing and replace Destruction and Rupture Soul with Pain (it's just more ammo/fodder) and Shadowsong (which is the key to the build). It's pretty brainless to run: Set up the spirits, preferably with Vampirism in front to tank, move spirits around with Summon Spirits to heal them. Recast spirits if they fall.

You might struggle a little if your Sunspear rank is low. When I farmed this way on my alt rit, who has much lower Sunspear than my ranger, Vampirism was much more vulnerable to being torn apart.

just to be sure, are you going back a long way behind your spirits? cause you shouldn't stay too close to them.

try bringing shadowsong that blinds, plus i'd simply bring pain instead of rupture soul giving you a solid wall of spirits. remember to go hide balled up in a corner once you pull.
