Just recently switched over to 2 Meeks and Unnatural Instinct, however feels like my damage should be at least double to what I'm currently doing. Wondering if someone is able to take a look at my build and see where I've gone wrong.

I know there's some obvious improvements one would notice right off such as getting 20% quality on gems, and helm enchant. However feels like I'm missing a ton of damage somewhere. My cyclone attack is at 7.49.

Thank you.

There are some easy fixes for your dps.

- Slotted precision lvl 21 with hatred, discipline and a lvl 3 enlighten gem
- Took a slightly different route on the tree (took precision) to compensate
- Removed tempered mind
- Removed the basalt flask and added atziri's promise
- Removed controlled destruction and added concentrated effect
- Cospri's has to be 10% speed

Your character is a mess,

1. You do not have a 6L, you are missing a lot of crit.
2. Your Crit chance is 38%, with a build that is based on crit it is impossible to do any damage with it
3. Your Flasks are wrong, get the diamong flask enchant of crit, get a Wise Oak.
4. Your jewels are shit, the abyss ones add no extra damage and the other ones have only 1 damage mod?
5. Your ring enchant does nothing, elemental damage with attack skills doesn't add any damage to this build.
6. You need new rings, mark of the shaper is not that expensive

And yeah all those things adds to million DPS.

I'm too broke for most of this. The Mark of the Shaper is no problem, the Diamond Flask isn't but everything above that... I can't afford. (Got the Wise Oak already, just had it unequipped for Red Elder)
I need new Gloves, Boots, Amulet and a Ring replacement to benefit of Mark of the Shaper. Just by unequipping the Ring I'm way below capped Resistances.
Any Jewel with double Damage Mod + Life Mod goes for at least a couple of Ex (can't afford that).
6L or 6Linking is way above my budget currently as well.
Overall I see no realistic way to improve the Character fast enough to complete some more challenges.
I guess I will switch to Vaal Ice Nova Glacier farm so that I only require a Staff with +40% Vaal Cost.

I have basically the same issue as killbotgamer.
Can someone check my Char ChillingNaixZ and adjust the items and the skilltree maybe.

Ignore the Herald of Thunder in my links im trying to adjust the aurasetup to something i can fit in and like.
Thanks

Anyone using the unique Tether Belt combine with
Atziri's Acuity for more substain? Then move CRS mod to boot aswell. I wonder if the DPS lost is worth

@ Grindstone if you get a quick second or two can you check my damage on pob n see if there is anything im missing or dps ok thx in advance

If anyone can review what would be the biggest upgrade and/or changes that I could make it would be REALLY appreciated, please!

Seems mostly fine.
- Light of Lunaris actually adds more dps to your build than the shield you are using. You'll have to compensate the resists tho. You can also opt for a shield with the Topocante buff from Temple of Atzoatl, and craft things like "Extra chaos damage", "5% chance to deal double damage", and/or "15% chance to deal double damage while focused" on it, which is slightly better than Light of Lunaris (but probably not worth the investment). You do lose out on a bunch of life and resistances if you add Light of Lunaris, so it's not per se better.
- A custom 6-link with +1.3-5% chance for attacks to crit will also lead to more dps. You can also add resistances and life / ES to that. However, loreweave is also great, so probably not worth the investment.
- If you get super rich, you can also upgrade the watcher's jewel to one that includes a hatred mod (added cold damage / penetrates cold resistance).
- I'm not a big fan of the new 2x MotM / Unnatural Instinct versions. You could free up a lot of nodes by heading to the top left of the passive tree, towards Arcane Potency / Purity of Flesh / Sovereignity. This way, you can also run aspect of the spider (and precision/dread banner) instead of herald of ice, but it does require changing a lot of nodes on the tree. This will add dps and barely impact your ehp. I changed your tree to reflect this, and also picked Alira as an easier way to fix some resistance issues (can of course be changed potentially). For convenience I picked sanctity and mind drinker.

Note that in the build adjustment I didn't swap the shield, because it was too straining on the resistances. Swapped cold resistance in your boots to lightning resistance, and changed the jewel to add some fire resistances instead of crit chance for cold skills.

Your build then has 8.2k effective hp and 3153031,13 dps (note that I used my own timeless jewel, so results might vary for you). You can mostly steamroll the game with that setup ;-). Things to watch out for: freezes, bleeds, elemental reflect.

What's the exact breakpoint on APS for optimal proccing? At the moment I'm sat at 7.42 APS with dual cospri's, is that too much?

Trying to min max this build using shroud atm. Need a couple more lvls it get another jewel socket. Anything else you think I should change to get more damage?

You should be close but not over 7.5, so this is very good.
