All around Duelist Respec build suggestion.

Boneshatter Slayer from the start.
Tryed to min/maxed it.
About 35-40 Divs invested.
Good fast maper - great maps survivability - 1.2-1.3k HP regen(4.700 HP) with flasks up, ele resists 78-79%, 85-87% phys mitigation (37-40k armour),17-20k evasion(70% evasion), enemy crit -110%, shock/poison avoidance 33/34%, reduced effect of shock 60% ( small Pantheon), Full Solaris Pantheon for extra crit/elemental resistances defence, corrupted blood immune(rare jewel), good defensive aura setup - Grace/Determination/Vitality/Precision/ Defiance banner,blinded enemies from Asenath's gloves, Slayer Overleech/20% Culling, enfeeble/Vulnerabilty on hit with possible 3rd curse(Tempo chain) via amulet annoit(Whispers of Doom).

The only thing that it misses - is end-game bosses single target damage.
If there's no flasks/rage/Vaal Ancestral Warchief's - damage is pretty low for bosses.

Wanna try to respec into some duelist build( Elemental Champion/Some other phys Slayer) with good defences/mapping but also with like 12-15kk damage for bosses?

Is there any suggestions for that possible attack build?
Lightning Strike Champ or Molten strike claw maybe?(not bow/totems/spell build, want melee area/strike/ melee projectile(molten/Wild strike) etc)

Im dont have a lot of currency atm - around 10-12 Divs, gonna try to farm another 15-30x Divs in next few weeks.

So total budget max is around 40-50 Div, not higher.
Main priority - good single target for bosses(at least 10kk+ Pob damage), but also want a good defence/ fast mapper experience.

Unless you are talking about uber dps (i.e dps after their 70% less damage mod) then 12-15 mio dps is super easy on pretty much any skill/build. Boneshatter should be able to accomplish this much without any issues so how about just improving your build?

If you really want to switch, then Molten Strike would probably be a good choice. It benefits a ton from vengeant cascade giving it both absurd survivability and damage. Doubt it's been that strong since stat sticks were removed. Just go slayer with 2 claws, instand leech masteries, vaal pact and strength of blood and you can probably facetank even ubers with some spell supress and damage taken as to nullify their penetration.

Was meant regular Exarch/Eater, Sirus/Shaper/Elder Guardians and non-ubers themself(Regular Shaper/Elder/Sirus) on alch maps with increased hp%/enfeeble mods and stuff like that.

Im love boneshatter, its great mapper - fast and safe experience, but i dunno what i can improve now without super heavy investment( Already 1100 Pdps Fleshripper, ring with Vulnerability on hit/ Flat life/resists /attributes, ryslatha's coil with +20 attack quality, Abyssus with 30% Determination reservation, Bottled faith, CinderSwallow Urn, Expensive chest( -20 mana cost/Ignore Stuns/Additional Curse/ Socketed Attacks + % crit) and Impossible Escape (Supreme ego), Forbidden Flame/Flesh for Inspirational for 30% auras effect and free banner reservation.

If you can suggest what i can improve without switching weapon for another 1300-1400 Pdps axe , let me know.

I am not a boneshatter expert but there is a bunch of things that jump the eye.

1) You use Multistrike to get most of your attack speed, Multistrikes repeats don't give you trauma stacks so you are severely limiting your trauma generation here with 2 empty swings. You should try to increase your attacks per second beyond what you have now but without using multistrike. I.e using increased attack speed where ever you can find some. Just replacing multistrike with faster attacks support increases your dps by 2 mio because of faster trauma stack generation. Did you never check your main link gems?

2) You don't have a pride aura which is like the biggest damage boost available for phys builds

3) You could stomach the drawback from traumas much better if you used iron reflexes to double your armor. Evasion isn't doing much for your build while armor helps against your own trauma damage and enemy damage at the same time.

4) You waste a couple of points and an aura to scale up life regen on a slayer who is specialized in leech. Right now you have 900 regen and 1,3k leech. Just taking the 4 points from brink of death to get Vaal Pact would bring you to 2,4k life/sec compared to 2,2k you have now. Free up a few more points for Hematophagy cluster and the maximum total recovery as well as the instant leech mastery node and you'll recover 3-4k life/sec further helping with trauma sustain.

5) You use Molten Shell which, while being a great skill in general isn't doing much for you since you are damaging yourself all the time draining the shield away all by yourself. Get yourself a small armor cluster jewel with enduring composure, take the +1 endu charge node in the duelist area and then switch Molten Shell out for Immortal Call. That skills protection isn't used up by your constant selfdamage.

6) Fix your resists, especially chaos.

You'll have to work out the details by yourself but if you work on those points you can likely double, maybe even tripple your dps for a couple of chaos. Just by being more efficient with the tools given to you.

Will take some notes from this. Thanks.
Yup. LS(+VLS), MS, and Splitting Steel are very good spot right now thanks to Vengeant Cascade. LS damage got 50 percent more (returning proj is anti-synergy with Point Blank). MS is more than 100 percent more. MS is better single target. LS better for everything else. LS needs less defenses because it is ranged. However LS needs VLS uptime to compete with MS for single target. Splitting Steel if you don't mind hitting a button every 12 attacks.

You can play in many flavours. Poison, cold, chaos, lightning, phys, etc. Poison should be cheapest and tankiest. Many classes and ascendancies to choose from.

I highly recommend claws, especially MS. You gain life from every hit and you hit many times per second. You can hardly die from things that don't one shot you.
