Faster, but much less damage

Hey fellow Exiles ;)

Been playing WO this league and reached lvl 84 ( OrbingAllTheWay char).

But now I have reached the '' hit the wall '' phase.
I can cut through any red maps ( mobs) with ease but when it comes to Boss fights I get insta-killed.

Of course my gear is far from perfect but this is the first time I must admit I am totally stuck.

Any advice from vet players would be welcomed on how to increase my survivability and increase my DPS - becasue single target DPS is just crap atm.

Budget is around 4ex for improvements.

Cheers fellas - have a good one ;)!

You are playing a non-crit build my friend. That's why you have no damage...

This build is really nice for mapping but for high tier bosses/syndicate the recommendation to include Ice spear+Cast while channeling is god mode. Winter Orb for hard bosses feels incredibly weak and Ice spear is a huge Bosskiler Bonus.

Thanks for this crit WO build that I plan to use when I level/gear up some more. I have been playing Blade Vortex (DirtyDot's crit build) for the past few leagues, which is similar to WO in a number of respects, and I'm wondering about some of the differences.

1) Why is everyone using Flame Dash/phase run, which is slower for mapping than Whirling Blades/Shield Charge - especially when there are bare patches with no mobs to recharge your flasks? I guess dual wands are nice but surely any dps hit from changing to knives or a shield would not slow you much down in mapping?

2) Why is no-one considering using MoM, which gives a solid survivability boost? Even though our mana pool is low, WO will leech mana.

1) I hate flame dash, but Wands are much cheaper than a good dagger with the same stats
2) We are reserving too much and that little bit of MoM will not give you a lot of EHP. The costs to cast WORB are pretty high too, especially against bosses, so your mom will not even work as good

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

1) I see. BV also benefits from some dagger mods like %phys to chaos. Makes sense. I'll still look for some daggers to whirl about.

2) The real benefit of MoM is the extra (effective) life leech you get from getting (effective) life from your mana leech. The BV build runs three heralds so lots reserved there, too. I take your point about the mana cost of channeling WO - I guess WO is a little more mana hungry than BV, though my subjective experience is that there's not a big difference. Another difference is that BV lasts a little bit longer, so you have that much more time to leech/regen mana for a new cast.

On a different subject, could you share your thoughts on including Herald of Ash and using Cold to Fire in your WO setup? How can I get a good guestimate on what the difference in dps would be dropping Aspect of the spider for Herald of Ash, PoB is not my friend here!
