Hello Everyone! I have been playing this build at virtually min-max gear and I have a few suggestions that helped me get some more DPS. I have been farming Uber Lab nonstop extremely easily even prior to the shield upgrade.

Thoughts on Devoto's Devotion for a budget helm option as opposed to Dedibell?

Specifically Devotos + 40% warchief enchant vs unenchanted Dedibell does the flat dmg on Deidbell still win?

I dont see mmyself going for Abyssus either way since I plan to run lab and Abyssus would be suicide..

Day 1 sold a RoTF for 35chaos, got a diviners with a void, Abandoned Wealth, Pride before the Fall,
Bought a carcass jack for dark pact and six linked it in 33 fusings.
Sold the carcass for 9 ex, swapped to this build, bought a belly and 6 linked in 129 fusings.
Yesterday, sold the belly for 10 ex, bought another belly for 70c and six linked in 212. Bought a second belly with the leftover 4 ex and six linked in 413 fusings. Sold both, had 20 ex, bought another belly and six linked in 377, bought the shield for 7 ex. Sitting on a few ex debating what to do.

The fact that people spend anything over 6 ex for a 6l is absolutely laughable. I've six linked over 100 items since I've been playing and I would be VERY confident in saying that you will typically 6 link in anywhere between 200-700 fusings. Sure every now and then ive had that 2k+ fusings (only on shavs wrappings and disfavour in my experience). But odds are the easiest money this game has to offer is 6 linked and flipping. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. Half my guild is made up of people with featured builds of the week and we're all in the same boat, 6 linking is dirt easy and if you can afford 300 fusings you will probably get the 6 link.

You should have literally nothing in the weapon slot except a shield. The build uses Facebreaker gloves, which increase your UNARMED damage by up to 800%. IF you put on a weapon you will do significantly less damage.

2 - Using in-game testing on Uber Lab, as well as a few hours on PathOfBuilding, I firmly believe the optimal setup of gems at min-max is as follows:
Ancestral Warchief - Damage on Full Life - Melee Phys - Brutality - Ruthless - Conc Effect/ IncAOE
Reasoning: With the min-max tree we pick up virtually 0 attack speed, our totems attack at roughly 2.3-2.4 attacks per second without faster attacks, and 2.9-3.1 APS with faster attacks. The attack speed is way to low to scale damage off of, so by losing .6 second APS and gaining 50% MORE damage we gain roughly 25-45k additional dps over faster attacks at perfect gear.

Note: The tooltip ingame for ruthless is wrong, and doesn't calculate the third hit properly.

I run 5 red/1 blue replacing the faster attacks with ruthless.
This is the max dps I can get in pathofbuilding, at first I thought it would be counterproductive to skip faster attacks even though it works well with ruthless but I guess flat damage is still king.

You say you tested your setup in POB but I can't for the life of me see how Brutality can keep up with added fire in terms of numbers.
