Saw the mini discussion you had with @motoman006. You guys both have valid points! Feel free to alter the tree whichever ways you wish to tailor your character! I'll stick to commenting on your gear: personally I would aim to get a better ring to replace your left ring as well as a better amulet, both of which have to have an open prefix with which to craft %ES.
What exactly would I be looking for in a better amulet? I have an open prefix to craft ES% on the current one if I want, I just cheaped out and went for Int because it had an open suffix as well and it gives both ES and damage.
I would love to get a better left ring, definitely something I shop for actively, just really hard to find one with Accuracy/Int/WED and the resists I need - not just in the sense of affording it but in the sense of being on sale at all :) in fact there currently doesn't exist any such ring on poe.trade :(
Edit: On reflection, I think ultimately I need to upgrade my chest to have better resists first and foremost. The fact that it only has the one mastercrafted resist on it is constraining my other pieces quite heavily, to the point that it's nearly impossible to upgrade without getting nearly perfect gear.

I mean looking at your trees and gear, you lack the 2 jewel sockets that he has since he went with the builds tree, also he picks up 2 frenzy charges that you don't.
Since he uses shaper's touch he gains a lot of accuracy and you seem to lack accuracy on your gear by quite a lot, I'm interested in knowing how much % accuracy you have on your ST.
Also your 6 link contains faster attacks which is by far not optimal on your ST 6 link, you want to use lightning penetration over that.
Your tree is quite suboptimal. Download Path of Building and play around with the exchanging various clusters and you'll see what I mean, but in short:
1) The following notables and direct pathing towards them are flat out not worth it: Coordination, Fangs of the Viper
2) The following notables and pathing should are situational depending on gear and level, and should only be taken at later levels if at all: Claws of the Falcon, Throatseeker
Getting Unwavering Stance (+ Brute Force Solution jewel socket), Acuity, Crackling Speed, Jewel Socket near Acrobatics, additional Frenzy charge nodes, are all more efficient uses of points than the nodes mentioned above. Optimizing your tree will take you a long way.
Ok thanks for the advice. I'll adjust the tree and see the results.

Was discussing the elemental focus gem with a friend in regards to this build (bladeflurry version).
What does the "skills dosent apply status ailments" mean for us?
Does bladeflurry cause the "shock"-ailment mobs or even bosses?
So is the elemental focus worth it contra another support gem?
Our trees are similar, nearly identical I would say. Even tho he has Str jewel our int are the same. And if he has one extra jewel that counts as a fraction of the dmg difference. I've noted the helm enchant but except that..

The last thing I can see is that you only use 2 dps flasks, which is vessel of vinktar and diamond flask, he uses silver flask and atziri's promise ontop of that and this does give a lot of tooltip dps.
I have a pair of Shapers and it gives me 3k DPS extra only. I know I should use LP but that's beside the point. Also it gives me even lower DPS since we talking DPS, by 10K. Other than that I can't see how 2 extra frenzy, flask and jewels give him 100k DPS on top of mine. But maybe they do idk.

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Ropa, Tremin and Sorak.
Looking at your char right now, you have approx 55k average hideout damage with GMP.
If you were to use his tree, use Atziri's Flask and a Silver Flask, use a Shaper's Touch to get your accuracy up and have jewels with attack speed and crit multi, your buffed DPS goes up to 150k at least which allowing for other factors ends up being pretty similar to his.
I changed the tree but I'm missing 5 points from build, since I'm 90. My dps buffed + frenzy + charges + flasks is 100k, without shapers because of resists. If I had the jewels might be 110-115k. I'm bad at this sorry. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for this build.Its really fun.I choose the blade flurry skill tree(Slightly less DPS, more leech one)

Hey guys, I'm about to enchant "Multiple Mods" on this ring, % to ES is obvious but I'm not sure if attack speed or crit chance? my crit chance is relatively low right now (30.9%) with 372 crit multi.
Here's the ring any tips?
Edit: I just realized I cant enchant attack speed.. im dumb. Either way, not sure if worth exalting the ring..

Whats the best 6 link for Reave with this build.
Reave - Multistrike - WED - Crit Chance - LPEN - AOE/Conc? Im a little worried without ele focus since you cant shock alot of the endgame stuff like guardians atziri shaper etc?

Elemental Focus means you can't apply shock, but both BF and ST get the bulk of their damage by doing a lot of small hits so generally you can't shock any high HP monsters that don't die quickly anyway. *Maybe* you can shock higher HP monsters (like breach rares or map bosses) where the shock would help, but those encounters are typically so few and far between that I don't think it's worth the substantially lower baseline damage you get from dropping Ele Focus.
The main reason to run something else would be to proc Herald of Thunder if you're running it in your setup.
