RF Chieftain no DPS PS5

Hi fellas,

I'm writing to you because I need help.
I'm play Chieftain RF build and I have problem with RF DPS, in skills info I have written almost 120k DPS but I'm don't see this DPS when I fight with bosses T12+. I'm doing only DMG from fire trap but fire trap hat only 14k DPS. So I can't make the progress on the atlas. Someone can help me? Because GGG have now all programmers busy.
In spoiler I gave SS from skill info.
I'm PS5 player.

Greetings all, and thanks for your help.

RF is just a terrible ability for single target dps and even more zdps with low investment.
The best thing you could do is to get your firetrap as a 6l setup into your body armor. It's going to be a slight single target damage dps boost, not amazing but it would help a bit.

Best option would be to ditch the build and play something else that's going to perform a lot better than rf even on low budget.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
There is extensive guides for RF that you can find that will fully explain it.

A a quick glace, your tree looks fine, but at level 90 your gear and gem setup needs to be much improved. Your character profile is currently showing 2 four links, you should be looking at getting on 2 six links (Chest and helmet). Helmet is an important slot for RF. Pretty much all your items need improvement as well. Looks like decent levelling gear, but if you are looking to push the build beyond where you have got to, it will need improving. This gets harder and more expensive as you go, but you have a lot of room for improvement. Belt is probably ok, but even that you can get a better roll on. Chest amour is not too bad given it is a 6 link, although chieftain will often use cloak of flame. The rest needs improvement. Not sure that is the right shield to be using. Might be okay, but most RF builds I know use either Saffles, Rise of the phoenix, or a rare shield with +level fire skills for damage (This might be out of date, took a look and what i'm seeing is Svalinn or rare shaper shield with life on block, go with what the build guide suggests). If you are capped on max res it's maybe okay, but are you? You should be at 90max all res at chieftain quite easily. I'm wondering how good your defense is because of all of this. It might seem okay relative to your DPS being the main problem, but RF is generally quite strong defensively.

Jewelry is pretty bad, I can't see an anoint on your amulet and also don't see a source of fire exposure (Maybe not needed, I haven't played RF for a while, your glove impicit looks decent, although ignites spread also seems to be getting used, probably what you've got currently is good.). At a certain point for DPS you need to be looking at have all relevant gems up to lvl 21/20. POB is good for see which are the most important ones if you are constrained by budget.

As the above post is saying, RF is not typically the best single target damage build. It is very good at clearing, is quite tanky, comfortable and reliable build that doesn't require high investment to be good. There is a lot of room for improvement on you build still. I suggest you keep tying to improve it, unless you are looking for a build with high single target damage, as that is not what it is best at. Look up one of the guides, it will give more extensive information than I am providing.

Character sheet information is not the best place to look for dps. POB is much better for this. I'm not sure how PS players access that usually, but it will be more useful than the character sheet information if you are able to. You should be able to get up 1mil combined firetrap/rf DPS without too much difficulty. Unsure what value that would correlate to on the character sheet numbers, but the character sheet shows lower, because it doesn't take into account all the factors. You should be able to get it to the point where is at least doing t16 maps quite easily.
