Hi,

Long time forum lurker here but I wanted to sign in and say thank you for the build, it has catapulted me far further than I've ever managed with my meagre skills at this game so kudos for crafting this great setup! :)

I did have a few questions though about the amount of DPS you have mentioned vs what I'm seeing in PoB and about where to go next:

Damage wise I think I've replicated your build as accurately as possible although i'm now just short the 21/20 gems and the helm enchant (+40% DP is EXPENSIVE!) however on PoB I'm only seeing 124k DPS on DP which goes up to about 280k DPS on 20 wither stacks. Am I missing something glaringly obvious that is making me miss out on the 250k/400k you've talked about? The damage I'm doing now is pretty good and getting me through most things although the guardians have been a bit of a struggle and I haven't braved the Shaper yet (more out of nerves of never having done him before).

As for where to go next I did a bit of theory crafting in PoB that I want to run past you. If I manage to get more levels (3 specifically) I was thinking about going for the jewel spot next to Blood Drinker on the right and pick up another 16/12/7 jewel rather than going for the spell damage near Occultists Dominion as it seems to put the DPS up a little higher and increases health by another 500 or so. What do you think?

Of course the jewel socket will definitely be better than the spell nodes, thank you for pointing that out! But towards the end I was getting lazy in searching for jewels to min-max so I went for the easy spell damage nodes!

The total DPS was calculated using both blight at maximum stacks(16) as well as dark pact! You'd be surprised to know that blight actually contributes a significant amount of DPS to the build!

Edit: just FYI, with all the cast speed on the tree + haste, max wither and blight stacks are 16 stacks, factoring in temp chains with shaper curse effectiveness. It will be slightly more for mobs and normal boss, although it probably doesn't matter

Excellent so i'm not doing something stupid then!

Just tried 2 Shaper runs and failed, mostly due to mistakes that I'm getting a bit better about but both times the third stage just kicked my ass, I'm struggling to keep track of the globes that make the voids, 2 bosses, Zana and my own life total :( I'll get there i'm sure, it'll just take a bit of practice.

Thanks again though, really enjoying this build and seeing the high end content! :)

My rng luck is what it and like everybody i'm only getting items that have nothing to do with the current build i'm playing, which is a dual striker (and i love it). However my stash is bursting with chaos related items, plus i'm new and i want to try as many builds as i can. Your concept really caught my attention and as soon as i'm done with this berserker the next will follow the blight pact for sure. Thanks for sharing it!
