Extremely low damage for spells

It seems that there is extremely low damage for spells, even trying full glass cannon build i barely oneshot standard mobs with essence drain, tried respeccing to arc and ran out of mana when boss(2nd act keth the room where you have around 1 m2 to evade his half room aoe attacks) was around half hp, gear isnt great, but i havent found anything better. either essence drain or arc take ages to kill large mobs not even talking about bosses and then i found out there is no ascendancy that would work with ED

Tried sorc but also damage seemed on the low side even in act 1
Have you tried upgrading your gems?
they are at max level i can get
Use Curse,Decay,CurseExplosion, Wither aura, contagion, essencedrain, chaos totem, profaneground. And buy +XtoSkill Gear on the market, get +2 on wand, +1 on amulet.
Get all the chaos nodes in tree.
Damage will still be shit, but better. The good side - you can move freely in bossfights because DOT.
I don't have this problem.

Are you playing witch without minions? Do you have support gems? Did you take the early damage nodes in the pasive tree?

A little more info and we could help.

I typically cast contagion into chain unearth when killing normal mobs. The unearth spawns and damage kill the contagion mob, which spreads contgion and then there is endless contagion.

I normally dont cast essence drain unless it's a blue/rare/boss.
