I generally don't play seasons, but I may update the guide with a more realistic build.

Here is what I'd shoot for if I were playing Metamorph:

Use LocalIdentity fork if you want accurate DPS. 6.5mil Shaper DPS with Fractal Thoughts and 9.3mil with Abyssus. I dropped all Shaper/Elder items, picked up a Terminus Est/Oskarm gloves/new Jewel, dropped Blasphemy/Assassin's Mark (you get rank 10 from gloves), and picked up Skitterbots for the 15% shock instead.

Terminus Est can be replaced with any high DPS 2hand sword.

thanks for the update, the entire gear set from the original isn't too expensive but it requires a bit of playing for sure.

I was going to ask which gloves to use since shapers glove is about 2.5ex and I'm trying to get 6L starforge first

Is starforge still the best weapon or did metamorph patch introduce a better one.

Also which awakening gems would be priority? I assume multistrike first.

Starforge will still be very good in Metamorph. The ailment nerfs to shock hurt it, but the raw DPS is difficult to match. With the changes to crafting, it's probably going to be more expensive to find a higher damage rare than a Starforge.

Awakened Multistrike will be the biggest upgrade followed by Awakened Melee Physical close behind since it applies intimidate.

Why War Banner and Precision are linked with Maim + Flesh and Stone ???
It is neccesary???

They do not need to be linked.

Bronn's is actually contributing more than it seems. A 40% Belly of the Beast is a small eHP loss. Same for Farrul's. Biggest defensive upgrade is an ES/ES/EV Atziri Splendor. Kintsugi is good too since you won't be getting hit very often and is a slight eHP boost.

We have CWDT Steelskin and around 6300 eHP + Fortify. Defenses aren't bad, but you have to be on your toes when playing this build--even more so if you are going to run Abyssus.

Edit: There aren't any real threats until T16+ bosses; but the threat goes way up at that level. Basically, you have to be good at boss mechanics instead of just instantly killing bosses.

Nvm I figured it out, pob doesn't calculate multistrike correctly either.

Why your Bronn's Lithe requires 111 STR and 155 DEX?? Mine only requires 144 DEX and its very difficult get 4 red sockets...

Would Voidforge be possible with this build? Since it is much cheaper in league?

Is multistrike mandatory? I understand that it will attack 3 times per frenzy, but I'm trying to not depent on that support gem for every build. What would be a good replacement?
