Hi, I'm lost in terms of how to increase my dps further. Currently sitting @ 1 mil vortex shaper dps. The obvious to me now is that I can go for auls amulet and a bottled faith. But still I feel like im missing something.

One question about the shield.
If I cannot afford Reflection, it means I cannot got to lowlife right?
So my dps will lost 30%...
Any suggestion about that?

Cheer!

Hey, looking at your character. There are a few things you can do to improve damage in order of priority:

First: Your weapon. change it. You have Cold damage to SPELLS as an implicit on the dagger. This actually puts your DPS to about 450k right now because ANY cold damage on the lightning skills is going to give +25 Cold Res to enemies rather than -50%. Get a new base or buy a new weapon. This will actually more than DOUBLE your DPS output. If you recraft it, try to get T1 (or T2 if you're on a budget) Cold Dot Multi as well. If you hit T1 (heartstopping) invest into Chimeric Chimerals to imprint the MAGIC base before Regal+Annul

Chest Piece: Get a chest with Arcane Surge support. This ends up being 22% MORE damage. Can be crafted with Dense+Aetheric fossils on a fractured base (T1 Flat EV/ES) pretty easily.

Helmet: this is the next big step and probably the most costly. Get a +24-30 ES implicit base (roughly 3ex) and use Dense + Frigid fossils on it. You're after -9% Cold Res to Nearby Enemies with good ES. 400+ is very achievable. Probably want to be able to invest at least 2ex into crafting materials after you get your base.

The upgrades will cost a bit but will VASTLY improve your damage.

And again FIX YOUR WEAPON

:D

Thank you very much for your input. I found a temporary replacement for the weapon. Will work on the rest too when I get some currency.

Would pandemonis necklace be a good alternative to aul necklace? It has good mods, - to cold res, higher cold damage % than hatred gem?

I can vouch for this build being great from low end to mid-end. I've got like 15ex invested or so and I couldn't ask for much more, but I want that shield badly lol.

I'm assuming once you have the reflection shield you can afford to be capped at exactly 75 resists since you don't ever have to worry about elemental weakness?

Pandemonious, specifically, doesn't really DO anything for this build. Cold Pen is only for hits and we are Damage Over Time.

As far as using Aul's or not. A rare amulet with stats/resists/es will be fine for ALL content. I added Aul's as a way to boost DPS even further. It's a luxury, not a necessity.

If you can't run Aul's, drop Hatred and use a rare amulet with ES, resists, attributes--whatever you may need. On a high-ish budget? Try a Shaper amulet:

That's a good dps boost on an amulet, but falls in the few exalts vs 15-20ex range.

This build operates beautifully on a moderate to low budget. You really don't need all the expensive stuff. That said, we do scale very well with investment.
