Have you looked into Aul's with Pride or Malevolence? Beats any rare amulet in terms of DPS unfortunately..

I was waiting for the reply. I put a detailed explanation under my body armor craft why it's so important to get +1 there and +2 on amulet.

We discussed this with lot of SST players and a +2 amulet will give you more in terms of raw dps and you have options for other stats on it. (With exception of what I will type further down)
The main reason why you want to use +2 there is to get your SST to lvl 24, for the base damage and also gain 7-9 added flat physical damage per 15 armor on shield, instead of 6-8. The better your shield, the more damage you will gain by having SST at lvl 24. My amulet for me gives me way over 40% more dmg that a Pride would do. (if you build impale and scale impale, then things are different because you can get 2 impale on the watchers eye!)

I also stated the only exceptions where Aul's Uprising beats +2 amulet is if you can get either +3 Lioneye's Chest to put your SST Gem at lvl 24, or any kind of corruptions on the body armor to make your SST lvl 24.

But yeah, oberall if you looking for absolute bis dmg, there are couple +3 Lioneyes for 200 ex and run Aul's Uprising with it and it will beat my current setup. But that also requires you to get missing stats on other pieces.

Anyway if you dont believe me, pob it yourself. I would say some of your pieces are better than mine, but my Culling bleeding dps without flasks still is slightly over 6.5m. ~6m with Unbound Ailments if I have to move around alot and cant keep 8 stacks of bleed up! But the difference comes from getting your SST gem to lvl 24. That's simply so much base dmg to gain!

Yes, I'm aware of the damage jump at level 24. Quick PoB with your character still has Aul's at 13% higher DPS than your current rare amulet at maximum pride effect. Sure, there's a slight ramp before Aul's outscales a BiS rare, but with Pride's decently sized AoE I think it's fine.

Don't forget Pride scaling and anoint when comparing!

Is it better to go for blood magic in the tree or use lifetap gems?
