Guys, hey.
Could you pls help me to improve my gear and build? I'm not sure on what should be my focus and which gems would be the best. I'm running t10+ maps and I die often on couple maps. I will be thankfully for any help.

im noticing pretty lackluster bossing dmg right now as im JUST getting to t14s(my gear is not complete and i havn't even really bothered getting my gems right yet) i have a few questions as ive missed most of this thread

it looks like people are stacking attack speed. is that really important?
are we worried more about the initial hit or scaling the bleed?
does double damage help the bleed?
i see most high dps (not the cold conversion ones) seem to be scaling the hit dmg and go for accuracy on gear to allow for crits? is this accurate?
i see that one guy used a sword, it looks like thats the way hes scaling dot multi as i dont see that available on axes?

rn my goal is auls and gloves, but once i hit that im wondering what to invest in, cold conversion, scaling the hit, or continue working on bleed/dot multi... im just trying to grasp how the 1-10m are scaling damage

here is my unfinished current gear

my tree has 1 large 2 mediums mostly scaling phys/dot multis

What would be the best way to continue crafting?
Imprint and get the harvest regal rolls?
Or are there any better possibilitys?

I play with +2 gemlvl on chest and want the +1roll on the amulet.

I'm really not an expert on this but can answer a few questions.
Attack speed is more just quality of life for full bleed because you can stack the bleeds to maximum faster assuming you're using crimson dance.
Double damage and crit do absolutely 0 for bleeds.
Phys dot multi is a veiled craft for I believe any one handed weapon.

I have about 2.3m bleed dps on sirus completely scaling bleed. For this you want phys dot multi on gloves, amulet, jewels (clusters too), and axe. You'll definitely want a better shield and added flat phys anywhere you can get it as the base damage (so not crit etc) of your attack determines the strength of the bleed inflicted. Also generic "% increased physical damage" helps.

For you I'd upgrade your shield, 1-2ex can get you a 3k armour one which will be a big improvement. Then go for phys dot on gloves (hunter apothecaries are best but a bit expensive even just for the base) and amulet. Also replace the craft on your axe with phys dot multi, if you don't have it you can message my gladiator in game.

Bossing will never be super fast going for pure bleed but for me at least it's not a problem, T16 bosses take like 5 seconds and A9 sirus last phase only takes about 2 minutes. Hope this helps and someone else might be able to answer questions on cold conversion or other super high dps versions.
