Hey, thanks for the awesome guide!

Could you please help me figure out what is lacking on my build as I'm struggling with the Guardians. I managed to get Minotaur down after several deaths (figuring out whether to facetank or kite him o_o), but for example Chimera's adds seem to be pain in the ass.. They seem to outrange me and even with all the leech I am slowly but surely going to die.

Here's my current gear:

and here is my passive tree:

I am thinking my accuracy might be too low (1,9k rating, 86% hit chance), but I already have acc rating in my gear + in one of the passive jewels, shouldn't that be enough? My dps in ho (w/ disc,wrath and thunder golem) is 35,8k and ES 10,6k.

Thanks again!

Let's see here.
- You're missing INT on one of your rings and your belt.
- You haven't specced out of Written in Blood and it's 3 support life nodes.
- You don't have a bleed flask.

I would suggest:
- Work on the missing INT on your gear if you can afford it.
- Drop Written in Blood and it's supporting life nodes. Pick up Wisdom of the Glade, Thief's Craft, and reconnect your tree using the INT point directly above Volatile Mines. Throw the other point into whatever you like. I'd be tempted to drop the DEX nodes near the ranger start and take the projectile damage nodes below them instead.
- I'd try to drop your current gloves for a set of Shaper's Touch instead, even if you need to drop a damage jewel to balance resists.
- Re-roll your Silver flask for bleed damage. It's rare that a curse has that much of an effect, bleed can kill you.

Just switched to howa and wanted to know how I can increase by dps and how much dps I should have minimum to do end game content or at the very least guardians.

Sup dudes!

Currently level 76. Just a few questions before I proceed further.

In my hideout, I'm sitting at 26k dps with lightning golem + GMP. How do I increase this? Will it increase dramatically with a few more points on the tree? I have a crystal belt with 17% WED waiting for me later, but sadly no int on it.

For now, here's my gear:

And also, are there any changes to the tree I should make before I shoot for 90?

Thanks everyone, loving the build. Great fun.
