Hey folks, I have been diligently ready this forum and trying to figure out how to optimize my build, but could use some help. I have seen people on here with 1 million dot dps on PoB, how!? I am at about 220k dot dps...
I am pretty solid defensive wise, but really could use some help on improving my gear, skills or build to improve dps. Thanks!
Also, I used to use this mace and seemed to drop some dps when switching to my current wand:
A big dps boost will come once you get your skill gems to 20/20, vortex if you can to 21/20. And if you put enfeeble in your cwdt setup it will free mana for malevolence aura, another nice dps boost.
Not enough mana to run Malevolence with Spider and Discipline. I see how you are doing it, but I am running CI and a Vaal Regalia, not the unique chest. Thoughs?
Would frostbite and the 4 skillpoints to whisper of doom be worth it? PoB says a pretty big increase.

If you spec into Sovereignty and the one 4% reduced mana reserved node near CI, and use at least a lvl 3 enlighten (preferably in the same slot as you crafted your spider), you can easily run those 3 while being CI. I did so myself before switching to LL.
You can put frostbite in your weapon and forget about enfeeble at all, that's what I did and it's no problem for anything in game (uber elder/cortex are easy with this setup too) - and I only have 10k ES being low life.

Transferred all my jewellers to fusings but hit a 6L in about 150 fusings so decided that, since I saved my currency from not having to buy more fusings, I should buy a 21/20 Vortex. Cost me 170 chaos but tooltip Vortex DPS went from 11k to 13k. ES is just over 11k and I feel like a tank. This Vortex gem cost me about double what I spent on my gear so far so you can come a long way with some self found items and cheap trades.
Did Hall of Grandmasters yesterday. Went pretty smooth... died twice (was just levelled up) to a huge fire degen on me and another mistake which could have been prevented. Doing t12 maps atm but hard to sustain so buying everything I need for the atlas.
My only frustration sometimes with thuis build is that Vortex is still on cooldown when trying to fire it again. No luck with enchants yet either.
You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

Thanks! That worked! And just threw frostbite into my cwdt - immortal call - increased duration setup. What should I replace blasphemy with? Or just leave it for the area of effect?

Your frostbite won't trigger from cwdt as it's to high level to be supported (check the cwdt description)
Blasphemy only grants the radius to supported curse spells, so right now it does nothing at all :)
You can replace blasphemy by a low level clarity, depending on how much mana you have left. This should smoothen your regen out / you can maybe drop shaper node in your tree saving you 2 skill points that way.
You should drop orb of storms in your weapon and put frostbite there, so you can keep it level 20. orb of storms is overkill, just storm brand alone does a good job keeping EE and EO up. Especially if you ever decide to buy a bottled faith flask.
Your saved gem in headslot, run a phase run lvl x (dex)/20 quality to go even faster :) Just make sure it's not linked to cwdt, or is higher level, so it won't proc all the time on damage - that's annoying.
edit:
I got lucky for a change, after failing my synthesize and making a worse base than titanium - since 84 ES titaniums are 9ex+... my fossils were lucky at least!
