Helmet is temporary, until I find a better ES or can afford an Abyssus.
I'm currently working towards Vaal Pact and then CI.
Any suggestions on where I can take my build from here, to increase DPS?
Also, I'm trying to get a rough idea of how much DPS Abyssus really adds, can you tell me your current DPS with and without it?
My DPS with abysus is 91.5K and without it 58.5K.For u to now increase your DPS,u have to take CI and get a great ES shield.Then with blood rage u will replace your life leech gems with increase melee damage/melee damage on full life and with these u ll see a a huge DPS increase.It is even possible that a 4L flicker strike with multistrike -melee damage-melee on full life could propably give more DPS than a 5L flicker with the link u have.So go CI and invest on a good shield.The second dagger doesnt really increase the DPS of the attacks used on this build.Your rings are awasome,but u dont have accuracy.I d suggest to also take a death rush ring which gives high accuracy and 4% life leech,not to mention 20% attack speed on kill.A 20/20 blood rage plus death rush ring give 14% life leech which is more than enough.
In terms of priority i would do it like that:1)find a great shield of 400+ES2)invest on buying a high quality/level blood rage to have,or start leveling it before u take CI3)respec some points to simultaneously get CI and the ES bonuses after it(the 12% MORE es is huge)4)Get death rush ring,on the other ring priorize your resistances5)Eventually if ur ES is already more than 4.5K,get the abysus,if u want more damage.If feel u need survivability Use and ES helm instead.
ALso u need LS linked with faster attacks,lesser multiple projectiles and multistrike.EIther increase critical damage or power charge on critical can also be used instead of multistrike,but this is my favourite lin for LS :) Hope this helps
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
So I took your advice, pushed towards a few changes and this is where I currently stand:
Skills:
I've managed to get all the major pieces of equipment now and CI with ES standing at 5.3k with purity. :)
Next is death rush and higher Q gems and finally the dagger that I cant afford.
Abyssus effectively doubled my DPS with 1 dagger, I'm at 29k DPS flicker with no gems higher than 12% so far :)
Thanks for all your help so far.
When you get a chance work into heartseeker (I stopped at heartseeker but i will pick the rest up again later) (crit multi down by the frenzy) it will help your build a ton, Im lvl 71 without abyssus or maligaro's, no quality gems, I max at 32K Dps. If you are impatient like me i would chop the last node off of each dagger line up by CI.
Note that I have not gone down into the witch tree yet so I have ~3k ES. Honestly Phys reflect and freezing (have a pot but only 2 uses) are my only 2 issues even with my lower stats.
Something that me and OP discussed is that crit chance is not as good as a blue slot use in flicker strike as Power charge on crit, while initial dps is lower the fact that you are around 30-40% crit chance as base, means you will build up the charges quickly, 3 charges out does my lvl 17 crit chance. I took the extra charge in the shadow tree for a 4th as well.
Also you need chayula >.< 6-8Gcp gets you a decent one.
Glad to help.You should consider removing life leech gem for increase plysical damage on both fliker and frenzy.Also do not use haste,use hatred.After you do these your DPS will be at least 40K :)
Heyo, I think I got skipped, haha. Unless you don't feel that there is anything to add. I'll try to get to endgame in the next day or two.
OOps i am really sorry :/ i missed your post.Well since you already got the witch nods dont respec but get the shadow ones now.AS for the ranger part,focus at first at getting the frenzy charge and then the crits nearby(u can see my passive tree to see which nods i am talking about :)
As for auras discipline,purity and hatred.If ur are able to cap your resistances from gear(which is very hard) drop for purity for haste or wrath.

That's okay! And that seems simple enough. I'll be following your build from now on. I appreciate all the help!
Oh yeah thought of something quick: Can I switch to FS/Frenzy/etc as soon as I get the gems all linked, or should I wait until a certain time to start using all of those skills, like end of Merciless or whatever?

I would love to, but without the Life Leech gem, I have no source of recovery for ES, especially with the increased damage I'm taking from Abyssus, I'd die fast.
Once i get death rush, I'll transition into that phase.

I was considering going for heartseeker next and was running into the problem with a lack of skill points.
Here's my dilemma with chayula; I seem to suffer more from freeze/cold than from stun (I don't recall being stunned, don't even know how to tell yet (still a noob).
Freeze/cold on the other hand is the #1 source of death for me, even higher than desync, no really, i mean that, fine...don't believe me.

For life leech u also have blood rage.Your blood rage leeches 7%.Even without death rush,if u level blood rage and put quality it will leech 10% which is enough i guess.
As for freeze i do beleive u :P.I had much bigger problems with stun.When frozen i always had a dispel potion and was OK.If u feel u have a huge problem with freeze,i guess u should get dream fragments,but then u wont be able to use death cause u ll need a ring with resistances.If ur resistances are OK i guess u ll be good touse both dream fragments and daeth rush.

Of course u can start using them.It is even mandatory in order to level them
Hey. What the point of "Mental Aculty" and str node connected to it? 4 nodes with total 10 str, 40 int (8% ES), 30% critchance. You can trade them to 6% es node, 30 str node and 2 15% crit nodes. You will lose like 30 ES for more dps. Or you can skip ES part and go straight to 30 str, 30 crit and 10 multiplier.

Hmm,i haven;t taken that strentgh nod :P.I think u might misclicked it while u were watching the skill tree.I have actually tried before ditching "mental aculty" and trade it witha 6%ES and 2 points down the ranger to get weapon artistry(20%physical damage+20 dexterity+4%more block).My DPS aactually dropped abit and lost abit of ES and gained some block.I decided that it wasnt worth it and changed it back.I was also thinking of removing aspect of the panther and pressure points down the ranger tree to release 8 points to get heartseeker(the multipliers in ranger part of the tree),2 dagger points that i left out,+30 to strength and 6%ES.All in all i would gain 70%crit multiplier,18%physical damage,16% accuracy and 6%ES,and i would lose 16% physical damage,14% attack speed,50% crit chance,30% multiplier,20 dexterity and 4%movement speed.I thought it wasnt a good idea and didnt try it.I mean 2% more physical damage and 40% multiplier,i dont think it is good enough to lose 50%crit chance and 14% attack speed
