funny because you stated before that i should for my char try out to get dual crit jewels and now you suddenly take your standard character with pretty much perfect gear as an example ... of course it is not relevant when you have 300 ex and can manage to get enough res on the rest of your gear so you neither need res on ring implicit and jewels; so the statement definetly was false in my case and will be for almost anyone else even your buddy checkmait who supposedly is such a great minmaxer did not yet manage to get enough resistance on the rest of the gear to be able to use opal rings simply replacing one dm mod on his jewels with 10% allres and using opal rings would improve his dps; but you bringing your perfect character into account to counter my argument only shows how you are yourself are unable to admit a mistake when you pretend to be interested in suggestions for improvement

I don't even play standard. My character was built in breach. Have a look at the original post and at my gear. You'll see that all of the gear was in breach so I don't get what your standard reference is?

Its odd that you're complaining about my gear costing 300 ex when it didn't, especially because I built it before HoWA got popular. Also, half of your gear is on par with mine.

I knew specifically what kind of stats I wanted on gear and could thus min-max and itemize well.
Its not my fault if you have the currency and don't know how to itemize. You strike me as being very sore at having your item/tree/gear choices proven as inferior and having all your subsequent arguments/points thrown out of the window.

Since you're so confident of your build being superior, why don't you just start your own thread? Stop bothering mine. I thought you were getting civil hence I gave you a chance and deigned to respond, but apparently youn aren't. Pardon me if I ignore you as the troll that you are from now on.

Yes that helm is terrible. at least craft +flat energy shield on it! :p I think your tree is quite nicely optimised for your level. I suppose you can put in an ancestral warchief to help with your boss-killing DPS. Out of curiosity, what's the projectile weakness for?

It's going to be rerolled again soon.

Any weird gems is because I'm lvling them.

If it's about my character you are aware that opal rings with 20/30 less res and the same stats are extremely insanely expensive right?

Like I understand your trying to find "budget" ways to increase dps but you didn't even check the prices of alternatives. The rings don't even exist with the ability to craft 20% ES on them.

1: okay now you are simply ignorant ... it doesnt matter if it was standard breach legacy if it was 300 ex, 10 mirrors or 50 ex ... you are simply distracting from the fact that you made a false statement and you seem unable to admit that you did. also you are ignoring the fact that in the example of your buddy it would be more efficient though his gear is worth about 80 ex + and thus for almost anyone else playing this build

2:in the original build presented by you you are not even overcapped on resist ... wouldnt want to map with this gear when you have to reroll every elemental weakness map; not to mention your rings are pretty much best in slot how much are they worth? 30 ex per ring maybe?

3: in no way were my itme choices proven inferior that alternate path you presented me would give me pretty much exactly the same stats with the disadvantage of not being permanently immune to chill/freeze and TC also everyone who has played this build knows that the power charge setup is pretty much useless because of its inconsistency you wont be standing that close to mobs most of the time and even if you actually had your power chages up at all times the increase in clear speed would be insignificant, if present at all.
Yes i have only 9.5 k ES because i am using shaper gloves instead of ES gloves which is simply a personal preference which btw also has nothing to do with the argument before
i can imagine that alot of people like myself would value tc immunity quite highly if you consider that not much, if anything at all is given up to achieve it

4: i have shown that in the case of your buddy the alternate path with kaoms roots would actually give him a dps improvement while loosing 400 ES. also he would save about 20 ex on his boots

but yes i agree this argument is over; you pretend to be above with your chill and helpful attitude but to me you appear simply ignorant and unable to admit mistakes

Level 89, starting to work on T15+ maps; I find myself occasionally getting oneshot (by things that aren't reflect/volatiles). My resists are capped, so is it just that my ES is too low? Given my gear, what would you suggest upgrading first? Obviously 6-link chest would be a huge dps upgrade, but I'm not sure if I should try to link my current one or save up for a better chest.

Cracked open Path of Building. And honestly taking my shortcut instead of going by templar (and saving 5 points) is a BIG dps increase, as long as you spend those 5 points smartly.

But that aside...even at level 100 with level 21 gems I'm nowhere close to 25k damage with blade flurry. I cap out around 19k tops at lvl 100. My gear is pretty decent and would be hard to improve without dozens of ex.

What is going on here? I'm about to give up on BF and switch back to ST. :(

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer!

edit: I forgot that BF got a 15% nerf in 2.6. Could this be the cause of the disparity? 85% of your original damage is about 21k which isn't far from my theoretical dps at higher levels. This would make sense and almost be a relief, lol.

also... energy_stress_tensor gtfo man. You're really rude, and your build isn't stellar so I don't know what you're still doing here.

The one thing you wrote that I read was

dude...he runs The Wise Oak. Look it up bro. gg no re

Hey im having trouble with this build, im only doing 5k with no buffs and idk why :/ heres my gear, also lmk if theres anything i can do in my passive tree that will help.

Ok bois, since I'm done with challenges upto portal, I can spend my currency to get build better. My current items:
I considered past OP's advices and checked some items like crystal belts, but it seems any decent upgrade costs a shitton of moneys. Currently I have free 8 exalts, and I can sell my chest for ~5 ex, so 13 total.
DPS info (hideout, wrath active):
With LPen: GMP dps - 68k, SP dps - ~127k.
With Critical damage instead of LPen: GMP dps - ~89k, SP dps - ~155k.
Questions:
1) Would it be fine to change my 740es chest for 900es+ and respec some ES nodes into damage? Or better start from belt-jewelry?
2) Is it important taking frenzy charges in tree? Now I have 5 total.
3) Considering I can get ~6 free points from [1] and not having frenzy charges from [2] where do I want to spend these points?

Going forward, will an extra Frenzy Charge be an increase of DPS, or would you go for Crackling Speed?

(have already taken force of nature)

Or even go further down the Witch nodes for more ES, sitting at 9.5k only, but still missing a decent 6L and a better amu.
