i think the gist is increase the life. as what enki's guide said, at least 3.5k life for mapping, 4.5k life for bossfight.

im not sure if you're following enki's guide as your passive skill is different. enki's go for dodge while you go for block. this is my first level90 character following enki's guide, so im not sure how good it is to compare dodge vs block. "im not getting instakill atm yet"

your equipment seems solid to me. probably try replacing equipment +life less than 50? get +life at least 70 or 80 above. jewel slot helps alot too.

also, in my experience, +life > +%increased in life. Its only applicable until your base life is high

try to balance things out. enki's 3.5k life for mapping and 4.5k life for bosses is a good gauge.

i purely follow his guide and working well so far (with some very minor tweak myself to suit my playstyle)

Those are all good points. I think I'm behind the current build because I'm using elemental overload so some of those drawbacks don't really hurt me as much.

Additional chain does help single target dps but its not as much as some people make it out to be.

thats interesting. with elemental overload crit multiplier doesnt really matter. anything related to crit multiplier can be switch to more spell damage. jewel, rings, amulet etc.

would love to see your feedback after trying that.

The basic setup I did in POB before I started making my character only had around 300k shaper dps. I haven't messed around with POB enough to really compare the staff with ele overload vs going all out crit yet. I'll share the results if they are interesting.

The biggest problem is keeping up elemental overload. Orb of storms linked to increased crits helps but its very hard to have 100% uptime.

Enki has designed the build around Elemental Overload for at least the last 3 leagues, so it definitely can work. He said earlier this league that after experimenting with and without it, he came to the conclusion that critical hits felt stronger and more consistent overall.

The build this league is different enough that I can't personally make a subjective apples-to-apples comparison. However, I would wager a guess that the closer your gear is to optimized, the better-off we are without EO. I'm currently stuck with gear that's okay but not great; once I've collected the ~10 ex needed for two multimodded weapons, I'll be able to speak to this better.

If you want to continue to try out that approach, you'll obviously need to make some adjustments to the current build, e.g. avoiding passives for crit and power charges and prioritizing other weapon stats, especially the powerful Shaper's elemental damage as extra chaos damage mod. You'd use a Wise Oak instead of a diamond flask. You'd swap Increased Critical Strikes out for Controlled Destruction in your Arc setup. You'd also want to swap out Orb of Storms for Lightning Brand and use Onslaught, Arcane Surge, and Culling Strike as the support gems. It's very easy to keep EO up with Storm Brand.

Thank you for the guide! I tried your 3.6 build but the league ended before I really had time to finish playing. So I spun up on 3.7 recently and I'm still having fun. I don't think I need help or anything, I just wanted to post some self-encouragement.

I managed to isolate and alt spam the above. Is this worth multi modding? Yes right?

I'm working map completion and the build is a dream to clear with 5L inpulsa.

Getting the mana leech watchers eye make s HUGE difference. Got to drop that mana flask for an atziris promise, stacked with diamond flask on bossfights its a huge dps boost.

I'm currently debating what gear to upgrade next as I rebuild my bank (55c for watchers eye heh), if anyones bored and wants to look over my char electricneko feel free ^^ I really want to try crafting a pair of crit damage foils this league.

Currently prophecy hunting for the ones that lead to multimod :)
