In general, Life will be faster and probably safer if you are a good player, Soul Tether + MoM will be slower, but allows you to make more mistakes and can take majority of telegraphed attacks head-on and come out alive.
Before switching into Uber Lab running setup I was testing Soul Tether + MoM more and even though it has lower dps then just Soul Tether without MoM, it is much safer so I'm not sure if this version (Soul Tether without MoM) is worth supporting/recommending. Still, I've done all content with it, not shaming away from hard map mods. Sometimes I died to poor fps/my bad skills but that's different story :)

thank you for the answer! so are you suggesting that the best investment to do (having BiS expensive gear), is to go straight for life version for better dps? :)

ive spent a shit load of currency making your build. My damage seems no where near yours. Im doing the pure life version. mind taking a look at my gear and telling me where i went wrong??

Ok, so I don't know if you are currently getting your links sorted or took some gems out, but:
- Get Lightning Golem, that's 9% more dps.
- Herald of Ash, 4% but burn is nice for clear. Alternatively, Arctic Armour.
- Blood Rage, another 9% + possibility of getting Frenzy charges, which is another 19% more on top.
- Get Orb of Storms to proc Elemental Overload and Mastermind of Discord bonuses. You don't have to use it for trash but it helps immensily vs bosses.
- Finally, apart from gem links, there is the gear problem. You need way more strength on your gear, as strength is how we scale damage. Your character has 689 strength, while mine had over 1150 before I respecced into Lab farming version.
Without Wise Oak, you have 137% (!) fire res over cap, 67% cold and 34% lightning. You don't need that much and unfortunately, you didn't keep track of it.
If I replaced 42% cold res with 42 strength on Eagle Nail ring, 41% fire res with 41 strength on Havoc Hold ring, 47% fire to 47 strength on your belt (and changed it from leather to heavy), and instead of some attack speed nodes picked jewel sockets to put Inertia's in them, dps would go up to 360k per ball in PoB against Shaper/Guardian (up from 195k per ball) and strength would go up to around 1050-1100.
Even gloves, which are very nice, need strength to be worth it. A normal pair of gloves (not Gripped) with just t3 strenght and t2 attack speed is going to give you more dps then those gripped gloves.

You might have bought/spend a lot of money on gear, but you didn't buy the one with right affixes (we need strength) :(
I hope it isn't going to cost you a lot to fix this - rare's with t1-t3 resists do cost a ton, buy you don't need them. Prioritize getting strength, since strenght gives you both damage and life. Then resistances but only to reach cap and maybe 20-25% over cap, more isn't super helpful.

If you want to feel more powerful and destroy bosses in seconds, life version is going to be the best.
Soul Tether + MoM is going to be amazing if you want to prefer to play like a tank :)

Thank you for the guide. The rings, gloves and belt came off another character. I got Tooltip hungry and figured that would grant me more damage then just strength but i see where i went wrong. So dont worry about overcapping res and get more strength? sounds easy enough, I really appreciate all the help. btw whats your tooltip for sunder and MS in HO? just so i have a target to get to..

I think before lab farming respec it was arond 120-145k Sunder in hideout with just auras and golems on, depending on Pendulum being active or not. I rarely had Molten Strike equipped while in hideout so don't remember exact numbers but it was a bit lower then Sunder.

Current lab farming version has between 50-60k Sunder tooltip in hideout.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me. I currently feel very squishy and low on damage. I die really easily even on level 12 maps.

I Currently have 1175 Str, I'm resistance capped, 5760 HP / 5800 ES.

What is your Armour rating and physical damage reduction ?

Can you see what is going wrong ? My character is ZoomZoomInYourBoomBoom (level 91).

Thanks in advance, ZZ.

You need to make your profile public for me to see what's going on :)

Sorry for some reason character tab was hidden, should be fixed now.

- You are using a 2.6 Brutus, which has 2-4 Fire damage, the new one has 4-7. It is a very big dps difference.
- Try to get accuracy on your rings, for Soul Tether versions it is quite important. You can get a better shield (less life, more resistances), which will allow you to change your rings much easier.
- You might want to grab Precision instead of 2 smaller life nodes for now, this will boost your accuracy by a bit.
- You got Vaal Lightning Warp, not Trap equipped. I've done the same mistake :)
Other then that, it looks fine.

So low they're not even worth mentioning really :)

Thanks for the reply I will try what you suggested. Seems I got "scammed" with the brutus I payed 3,5ex for it and linked the 4-7 one didn't notice he traded me 2-4, ohh well.

Yea I was wondering why Vaal lightning war was in a build with leap slam lol, I should have put 2 and 2 together there.

edit: Turns out Accuracy is very important, build is working much smoother with your suggestions!
