Help - Shield Crush Slayer, how to scale damage?

My current build: https://pobb.in/oPSXIwDYpxOQ

This is my second ever poe1 leage and I'm having a lot of fun. I had a smooth league start and atlas progression to t16 maps. I got my first 2 voidstones. I've done all the guardians and even done the Guardian Maven invitation without much effort. I've tried shaper twice, and died both times to mechanics, but had pretty good damage. I am not sure how to scale my damage now. I've tried looking at other shield crush slayers on poe.ninja, I don't know what I am doing wrong... Any help would be appreciated!

You haven´t done anything wrong per se, you just need to improve the build now. First thing, get Arn's Anguish belt and Ralakesh's Boots with endurance charge so you always count as having maximum Endurance Charges while turning the ones you gain into Brutal Charges. Swap Impale support for Endurance charge on melee stun.

Second, start crafting large Cluster jewels with 12 passives with physical damage. Shield Crush scales well with incr % damage, but there is only limited amounts of that on the tree so you compensate that with Clusters. Look for 3% incr. attack speed and 35 % increased effect first, then if possible get all res, chaos res or a useful 4th stat on it. Those will push your damage very good.

And then there are very lategame-options like Foulborn Unnatural Instinct (120 div) and +1 to maximum Frenzy Rings (100 div) that push the damage even further.

Good luck!

I think shield crush is a really good starter this league, i have seem many play it.

The guy who responded to the post before this is definitely right. The only things i instantly notice from the POB is the Amethyst ring that could be improved heavily and the level (This is just a given). Maybe if you have spare currency you could go for double corrupts?

I don't really play shield crush but im interested in how you scale it.

Keep me in the loop!

Shaper on regular shield crush is going to be hard imo so dont worry too much about it.

Ways to scale shield skills is stuff like armor stacking. It would completely change your build to be an armor stacker so I'm not going to suggest that.

One thing I noticed that I might be tempted to use to scale shield builds is the foulborn mings heart or mokus rings. With those moku rings you can get almost 100% increased attack speed when your ignited if you use dawnbreaker shield and have something with phys damage attacking you on top of having like 90 fire res.

so in short idt your doing anything wrong just might be time to pivot into dif type of scaling.
