First off - this is my favorite build in after a years worth of playing so thank you Grizzly40!
I'm at the point now where I've hit my 90s and have invested quite a few exalts into this character but I'm having a bit of trouble getting my numbers up.
I'm struggling to hit the 10k ES mark and my 1 Stage BF DPS is sitting at 432k (non Shaper/Elder).
What would you guys suggest I go next to up my ES/DPS?
Get a Watcher's Eye with Mana gained as ES while affected by Clarity.
%Str/Int corruption on belt.
+1 Gem Level gloves and a Level 4 Enlighten. Level 5 Enlighten will let you spec into Influence instead of Sovereignty and save a passive point.
Path to Mind Drinker from the right side of the tree. It allows you to take the jewel socket below it via int nodes instead of dex nodes.
Consider taking Celestial Judgement instead of Holy Dominion and Divine Fervor. You save 3 points and only lose 18% ele damage.
First CI build. Sitting @ 7k ES. I'm running a 200 ES helm for Innervate purposes, and a 300 ES shield because I need the resists on my current one. Resists aside, I know I could get at least a 300 ES helm, 350 ES shield, ring w/ flat and/or & ES, and better ES/INT jewels. I'll just assume I'd be gaining an additional 300-400 flat ES. But I still don't think that's enough to take me to 12-14k like some people in here.
Any pointers for building more ES? Playing on HC, but I'd like to be able to tackle all content. The damage seems very meh on some bosses. Any pointers on that as well? I only have a 5-link, but I've dropped hundreds of fusings on this IH and still no 6-L.

Shoot for 40+ES on abyss jewels. A couple of your abyss jewels can just be straight up replaced with a flat ES flat Lightning damage jewel.
Consider dropping the Lightning Strike setup so you can run a higher ES Helm.
Get flat ES on your other ring.
Try to work Purity of Elements in. Makes it much easier to cap res without relying on your gear.

I choose to appraoch abit differently to this build and I may present you the tankiest version so far!
Spoiler
Close to 12k ES, 14k tooltip with incAOE, 21k+ with concEffects. Once you get all buffs from jug/jewels flasks rolling it all adds up. (Still got lot of room to improve jewels but sadly good 4 mod jewels dont exist on bsc atm or get sniped instantly)
I choose to go 83/83/78 max res for the maximum tankyness, dmg is still fine to clear anything. Ultimate dream is to give up Discipline for purity of lightning to make it 83/83/84 and stay above 10k ES, get a Watchers with double phys mitigation + clarity (None exist atm sadly on bsc) Also leaves ring slots free for some interesting testing. Maybe even dual +1 endu/endu buffs rings later on when they start showing up on market. I can easily imagine the build taking 1200+ solo Delves with ease. So far been able to facetank/outleech most of Uber Atziri, shaper, uber elder. Even carried a 550+ Aul with double dmg mods jsut facetanking most of it. But did ran TOH+Fire flask for ultimate Wise Oak Balancing obviously.
The ultimate dream is to go LowLife after hitting 100, deaths wont matter anything at that point and take this build further with more auras, dmg and Crown of Eyes (If any useful enchants ever show up on the market obviously)
Done the craziest t16 maps with triple ele dmg mods + dmg/turbo and the Syndicate mobs just tickle you!
If you hate dying to random bs, then this is definitely a way to make your build as tanky as possible and still have bearable dmg output. Havent had any death's since A8 Doedre!
Also dont think Spiritual Aid cluster is ever worth taking, nor warrior's blood. There's so much more good points to spend on the tree, espcially when the build feels pretty passive point heavy!
Yeah i had triple purity thing in mind before, but decided to drop the idea, as it's less effective when you face -max mods. Still i 100% approve it will be very nice
"
thank you OP for this wonderful build, hope they wont nerf it :)
Hopefully, but i'm a bit scared about that :p Especially now that it became so popular (there is even another build guide with build almost identical to mine)
Looking for any advice on where to go from here. I think the most obvious is to work on shield (shoot for 300+es) / boots (craft rare sorc with 150+ es) / amulet (try to alt spam damage per intel / increased attributes).
Other than that, I know some of my jewels are weak on raw ES and a Clarity Watcher's is my most obvious big ticket upgrade before getting corruptions.
Currently sitting at 7.6k ES and ~140k per ball (AC) or about 210k per ball with Conc when flasked.
Edit: Actually just got this shield
Should I block mana regen and try to slam Int with Leo? Already have Hillock in fortification to up the base quality.

Only 6k ES at lvl 84 isnt right, I presume. I am missing pure talent and have 1 or 2 jewels slots free, but still, why is the character so bad? I dont even feel like buying the missing jewels right now because by themselves they can't fix this.
