So, i sold all my stuff from my other builds to try this out, can someone give me some guidance on what to upgrade next? also to figure out what my POE damage is, because my small brain is.. well to small lol

Your damage is going to be a fair bit better than average with that gear. There are a few things though...

- You have too much AOE. x11.39 is optimal. I'd replace the craft on your amulet, and redo the one on your gloves until you get 9% there.
- Flasks. You have 3 corrupted blood affixes, and 2 freeze affixes. You need one corrupted blood, and zero freeze, that should be taken care of using upgraded Brine King in the pantheon. Use your flask affixes to get immunity to ignite, shock, and boost your evasion / armour. Movespeed and attack speed are nice as well.
- Blood Rage is a no-go with Ghost Dance. Enduring Cry would be a nice defensive boost instead.

To be honest I just used a bunch of random flasks, what actual flasks do you recommend? Granite/Jade etc?

Also I seen another bloke say that he uses Soul of Arakali. What are your thoughts?

The other thing is, I know I can make a lot of upgrades. But what should I focus on for damage or survivability? Obviously Empower 4 would be nice, but other then that what do you reckon?

Hello guys,

I really need your help!
I waant to understand what is so wrong with my build that the difference in PoB DoT dps is in millions. I tried playing around with numbers and Tree, but I still feel like I am missing important stuff. Please help ;3

First up, you're not using that blood rage, right? Enduring cry is a nice replacement, works like a health flask, and linked to second wind, works twice.

Moving freeze immunity to your boots would let you drop Brine King for another major. Worth it? Debateable... but it's only an ex, you're already into this for, what, 50ex? But it would let you move to Arakali, so less chaos damage... but you're already at 53 chaos resist, and most sources of chaos damage aren't large. I dunno, I'd say try it and report back. :)

Gloves need the +1 AOE gems / Increased AOE craft, that puts us right in the sweet spot for AOE multiplier at x1.39.

Switching to an Anomolous Withering Step would help boost withered stacks faster.

There are a lot of rare rings with 60-70% chaos resist so I don't think maxing out all the resistances are a problem at all.

I like Brine King and Garukhan for the chill and shock reduce effects as well, that along with the 40% boots bench craft, one jewel implicit and an ignite immunity flask I have the poor man's version of elemental ailment immunity. At least I think that's how it works.

Thanks for the suggestions but what is wrong with blood rage ? If i have about 300 life regen, that should be fine no ?

That is exactly how it works. You don't need the jewel implicit, either, you get 60% immunity from Garukhan, 40% from your boots craft, that's 100% already. Very nice!

Soul of Arakali is a band-aid, the real solution is to push your chaos resist up nice and high. However, with that said, if you can get freeze immunity on your boots, and chaos resistance isn't awesome, then Arakali is a great way to go.

The original flask recommendations are solid, the only thing I changed was acceleration --> ingnite immunity and adrenaline --> % of shock immunity. The rest of the shock immunity I picked up on the Pantheon using Garukhan.

For more DPS, Empower 4, amulet with both +1 chaos and +1 dex, 3 affix jewels to put at the end of your cluster set up. Quiver with the same mods plus room for attack speed craft.

For more survival, ensure you're not running that blood rage, enduring cry instead. Honestly, you shouldn't be having any issues with survival.
