Shecutor,
I'm at the same point in the build you are and while I am not in Red maps yet, I am steamrolling yellows maps and yellow map ultimatums. The whole build took a while to make sense to me with how to play it. There are lots of little things about how your set up right now that could be changed, check out Jenno's update to the 2ex build and make all the adjustments there (and make sure to follow the where to sockets your gems as it helps a ton with livability and damage).

How to get damage though is just like Jenno said in his guide. Start each fight with Exerted bonuses from Intimidating Cry and Seismic Cry going on. Then Ancestral Warchief totem for more damage bonuses, and also try to line up your slam with the Ngahamu effect (Ascendency). That's not all though, Phase run also gives you a big boost to damage so try to line up those two effects together and wham big boom.

Short verion: Intimidating Cry + Seismic Cry + Phase Run + Ngahamu (4 secs out of every 10 secs) + Ancestral Warchief + Flammability Curse = Mega damage.

The other thing is with Fist of War giving you such a massive boost, make sure not to attack without that bonus up (sad there is no indicator I've seen for it up, time to start counting to two after every slam heh) and do not refresh your Seismic Cry until it wears out. That sucker does a ton more damage as you use up more and more charges. For example at the base Cry (first hit) you do an extra 30% Damage and 30% Aoe, by the time you do the last hit (fifth hit) this is boosted to 110% damage and 150% AoE.

Otherwise make sure to change your build around to match Jenno's newest Ultimatum 2ex version. Stuff like getting rid of Immortal Call to keep your Endurance Orbs up all the time (extra damage there) and his new tree (more damage and livability than before) helped push me up even more. It's all about getting the timing and feel down with the Cry's and Phase Run + Warchief bonuses, plus not attacking until your Fist of War support is active. I have rushed some of my hits and they do so little damage compared to the full effect, it's unbelievable how much more damage you do if you line up all the bonuses.

I finally did transition to crit version - but I feel more squishy then before. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Damage is good but I can easily get one shot. Actually A5 Baran killed me five times second time in a row. What ever attack he'll do he is one shotting me. Not gonna lie - I'm pretty frustated and pissed off (not on build - probably I just sux). I barerly reached 93lvl with playtime of 3days and 19hrs. Spend almost all my cash (~25ex) crafing/buying everything to transition. It's my 3rd leauge and I feel like fcking noob that just put his hand on the game... I wont even mention Ultimatums where I got one shot everytime (always choosing miasma and ruin - I think these are easiest but it doesn't even matter - still gonna die in 3rd or 4th round, sometimes even on beggining of 1st round).

- Try using Xibaqua timeless jewel and capping your chaos res at 80
- Get a stygian belt with high life
- Craft your left ring with better life
- Slam an exalt on that staff, preferably a conqueror exalt for more certain rolls.
- Get an abyss jewel with 35+ life
- Try getting some dextery from your equipment, so you can refund that +30 dex skill and spend it for something else (You don't need to use high level phase run jewel, lvl 2-3 with %20 quality will work fine)
- Try getting alternate quality gems with defensive quality stats. (For example, divergent tectonic slam)
