Hello, having problems with damage output + survivability. Can someone take a look at my character and tell me what should I change/do next.

Edit: very inconsistent discharge.

Doesn't look like you've been following the guide at all, re-read it.

Buy a vinktars.

Change your voll's prot/gloves link. Buy a lvl 20/20 discharge (they are 5c..)

..quality your flasks & aug them atleast.

What parts confuse me:
Why does Discharge have to be in both armor and weapon? Or I'm missing something.(Ref current gear)
I've gone through this topic, trying to understand where do people get such high crit chance?
Eg 80% without Diamond Flask and 50% with Diamond Flask. If I check my stats, I get as much as 36%ish crit chance.
Also, my resists are capped at 75%, what auras should I use other than Discipline in my helm? I feel like herald is not providing anything for the build. At least I don't feel any changes with or without the buff.

I've re-arranged gloves/armor. Do I need to swap PCoC for Discharge?
I'll try to grab Vinktars, not enough currency for the moment.

Thanks for Your feedback.

Where do you put your passives after the tree in your post is complete?

The build looks really fun for clearing but I'm curious if it can do Shaper and guardians? I didn't see any videos of it.

Discharge should only be in the voll's protector if you have a helmet with a 30% chance for discharge not to consume charges enchantment. Otherwise you should be running one of the following link setups.

Cyclone - Increased Acc - Increased Crit - CoC - Blade Vortex - PCoC

or

Cyclone - Increased Acc - Increased Crit - CoC - Blade Vortex - foritfy

Getting 4g1b1x is expensive but necessary if you don't have the helmet.

I've done all of the guardians except for phoenix back when I had shittier gear and they were pretty easy. Phoenix and shaper were too much at the time but that was before I got double-discharge or my rings. I think you need to have high-end gear for shaper but it seemed doable to me, I just had bad gear and completely shit mechanics since I usually reroll around endgame time rather than invest in highend gear. I'll be trying again pretty soon, if I can figure out recording I may take a stab at it.

I killed Shaper today and had 2 Portals left but I'd consider my gear above average (you should be able to check it in my profile) and it was a decently long fight where I had to do quite a bit of stuff right compared to what other specs have to do. Also I had to use a Lifeleech gem in cospris rather than going full dmg
got a starforge tho \o/

Is it important to get Annihilation passive skill? Or better go for jewels? I check yours character in standart ant you take them.

@dirkpiloot Good to hear! What ES do you run around at?

Insanity gloves with some more res are next on my upgrade list so I can drop one of the purity auras. A nice endurance charge belt would be sweet too.

Your gear is really nice! I'm super jealous of that helm.

How the fuck do you level past lvl 50 with this build ?

I steamrolled everything with Ewar+Howa and Frost blades until A3c, and now I'm getting buttfucked by everything.

I haven't got much experience with ES builds and leveling with them.
BV seems "ok" but I still die a LOT and I'm not even in Merc yet ...

Now I understand, thanks.
