Okay, I need a B->B->B->B chest, or preferably a B->B->B->B->B chest. What's the best way to procure one? Just farm, or use some of my currency resources to try and make one?
4 Link armors should start dropping late in Act 3. Socket colors are determined by the stats on the item. If it's a body armour that requires STR/INT to wear, then the sockets will be more likely to roll red and blue.
So grab a random 4 link INT body armour that drops and use some chromatic orbs on it, you should get BBBB with just a couple of them.
Also most builds don't need a 5 link until yellow maps. 4 Link will do just fine for a long time. You only really need a 5 link when you start to notice you aren't killing things super quickly anymore.
I'm sure that's true...but keep in mind you're saying "making builds isn't hard" while tossing out a bunch of item and skill names someone new'ish has no clue about. It always seems easy when you understand the systems and things to build for but it's crazy daunting for someone new. Using a decently tested build to get myself a solid footing before I go off and play just seems reasonable.
Oh, sure, nothing wrong with following builds in any way. Just saying that making a build isn't in any way as difficult as it seems. Figuring out gem links is as easy as importing your character into PoB and sorting support gems by damage, and builds with more than a handful of uniques are mostly memes.

you get a divine for vendoring so
if it had caster stats it could bea maybe but the value of that on market isnt going to be much higher than a divine
as a rule 6l corrupted weapons that are not caster have no value because the value in link terms is offset by the losses in weapon stats (unless they are very high item level and roll god phys or something)
If it doesn't have +phys damage and % increased phys damage, in high values, pretty much every melee weapon/bow is vendor food. As above, caster stats can be valuable, but it depends on what you roll and what's popular vs what socket colors you get.

it's might be worth more than divine, check poetrade for a 6 link with those colors

Is there a way to customize my NeverSink filters so it highlights the crap out of 4 and 5L items, regardless of quality? I'm sure there is...but FilterBlade is uhh daunting.
e: Oh, nevermind, it already does. 4L items show up really big already. Just had some 4L gloves drop and the tag was huge. That's good to know.
I accidentally clicked on the door to leave the boss arena just as I had killed Kitava and it didn't count. The quest log said to take the portal to the epilogue, but there was no portal to be seen.
I had to redo the zone and kill Kitava again and made sure to not leave the arena. Then it actually counted for the challenge, lowered my resists and spawned the portal.
EDIT: Checked the PoE bug report forum and this issue has been reported several times, as far back as the week 3.0 released.

I beat the three bosses before Maligaro, took a nap, came back with the hearts/lungs/etc in my inventory, gave them to piety, and then she told me to fight them all again. Was very cross, as my single target dps is garbo this league.

Yeah, I hate that one. If I'm not ready to go all the way through that, I stop before grabbing the organs, because I've had it bite me before.

League has been good to me so far. Got a void in one of the rituals and it made a primordial chain. And had an intuitive leap in another. And just got an EX drop in a t2 lol.

Just got Spell Echo, so the "core" of my Arc skills are in place (Archmage, Lightning Pen and Spell Echo)...and uhh, yeah. I can see where this build is going. Pretty hilarious to watch Arc double cast like that.

I'm about to the point where I'm going to take the first resistance curse. I'm already super squishy, even built in to the survibility parts of my passives first. Should I spend some time farming for some gear with resists before I finish Act 5?
For all of the complaining I did about summoner/skeleton nerfs -- vaal skeletons is still amazing, boss tier DPS for bosses. I'm hoping that does the trick, but time will tell.

The number of times I die when I'm spamming Flame Dash to get out of a situation is too high. The game gives no indication that it's not working, I'm just stuck, hitting a spell that isn't on CD, that I have plenty of mana to cast, and isn't locked out, but instead of dashing I just stand there and die looking like an idiot. I'm fairly sure Arcane Cloak doesn't actually do anything except take half my mana. It's never saved me from anything.
Every time I start to get in to this game this is the kind of clunkyness that turns me off.

If you're looking for a guard spell, using Cast with Damage Taken and Immortal Call together is fairly standard. It automatically goes off when you take a certain amount of hits and buffs out a nice chunk of damage.
If you don't mind me asking, which act are you in and what's your HP/Energy Shield looking like?

The flame dash stuff is....weird, though I don't have a 100% answer. Your description of flame dash sounds like how I felt about flame dash before they made it a true instant cast spell without a real animation. I hated the skill so much, but love it now and use it on most characters for combat survival. I actually vastly prefer it to any of Diablo 3's movement abilities now, though I'll admit I don't play it much anymore.
I will say -- when stuff gets laggy, it like weirdly reverts to having a cast animation. It's not supposed to, but it seems like if framerate or network stuff are low enough, you get a delay and it behaves more like the old version. It rarely happens to me but I've seen it.

It's possible, depending, that you're in the rituals that disable movement skills?

Oh god yeah this. It's an effect I'm not used to experiencing before this league in PoE -- some of the rituals disable movement skills, and it confused the hell out of me at first.

Nah, it does. Helena gives you a quest to use it after when you rescue her. The game's actually not that bad at onboarding you onto the extra stuff.
There is one mission from Helena to use the bench when you first meet her.
Yeah, crafting table, or cheap items with decent resist/life totals. You can find rings without any other good mods for a couple C usually.
