Reave users take note, KMQ has changed the lower part of the passive tree:

I need help.. I'm failing a lot during mapping (problems with survivability and dps). I don't really play poe often so I don't really know how to tell whats good and bad. Can anyone take a look at my character and suggest what to do? Its not working out for me and it looks like I have to dive into the last 5-10 pages to get info.

League mechanic (scourge) is 90% spell damage, and we have 25% spell block, thus complete dogshit?

What am I missing?

More HP and more Leech?

For more DPS you can drop Fortify support in your 5l and add Brutality. You already get fortify from the Fortify Mastery on your passive tree.

You might also want to buy a better Abyssus with less damage taken, 47% is kinda high.

Trying to save up for both a 6 link and a Haemophilia with vulnerability on hit will also up your DPS a lot.

After playing for a bit, this build isn't great on a thin budget. You need to invest a bit for it to be decent. Cyclone is a safer build for people on a budget and people newer to the game I think.

I'm guessing you really unlock its potential with vulnerability on hit, a 6l, Ryslatha's coil, Aul's so you can use Pride plus the other auras, and an expensive shield with +life on block/+%life on block. But all of that is hella expensive. I have the 6l, vulnerability on hit, damage flasks, an okay shield with +100 life on block, precision+blood and sand+dread banner+herald of purity and it's *decent*, not bad but not amazing.

For starters, the build went slayer and you're using his slayer tree but you went gladiator. You don't need fortify in your reave link, you get fortify on the passive tree. Temporarily try to get mana leech somewhere else until you get a thread of hope, probably on ring then drop your mana flask for a silver flask. Get a better shield with life and %life on block will, get a cheap 6l chest with way more life (90+) 3G 3B sockets. Getting a cheap vulnerability on hit ring with ~50 life and maybe 20~ res will give you a sizeable dps increase for low investment. Your ahn's is pretty low rolled on the phys, I might look to get a better one, they aren't too expensive. You have a unique jewel socketed that does nothing at all, at the very least get a corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you jewel with some res or w/e, just make sure it's cheap.

Agreed on most of this. I don't mind the build too much atm but would not recommend it as a league starter nor for SSF.

I'm 73 running T4 maps. Its going...ok. Last league I was a Herald of Purity and Cyclone build. I just spun around everywhere. This is a bit more involved.

Reave
Vaal Reave
Double Strike
Vaal Double Strike
Ancestral Warchief
Flasks
Steelskin

When am I doing what?

So far I've been Reave most of the time.

Vaal Double Strike when available.

Vaal Reave when its a boss; but its a pain because am I stuck in position?

Double Strike when at a boss, but other Vaal skills are down.

Ancestral Warchief as needed.

Mashing Steelskin and Flasks non-stop

Do I have that right?

He included a section on page 1 that details how to optimize damage for bosses. From the top of my head, right before a boss:
- Pop both ancestrals (make sure warchief is vaal)
- Pop vaal double strike (or blade flurry later? Not sure if that's still in the build...)
- Pop Blood Rage
- Blood stance

AFAIK Vaal Reave is better for clear than for bossing... don't use it as much for single target.
