I just started mapping, and I only have around 35k dps, with totem around 50k. I see some people saying they have 500k dps when starting yellow maps. So I'm kinda underwhelmed with my damage.

I know I can't expect super dps with gear worth 10c total, but I kinda expected more? Killing a boss in a tier1/2 takes a good amount of time.

Any advice on what gear I should invest first for a good damage boost? Maybe someone could check out my character and see what I'm doing wrong? Advice on helping me get started would be greatly appreciated.

You're using hatred aura and brutality.
You have fortify nodes on tree but not using fortify
No pride
No blasphemy vuln
All your gear needs replacing asap
Get a sinvictas axe they're 1-2 chaos

I am considering this build or a freezing cyclone (love dem explosions).
What are the up and downs of pure phys compared to the freeze cyclone? Can't really decide :/

Full disclosure: I'm a newbie however one big upside of this full physical build for me (since I love mapping and mapping and mapping) is that I can run physical and elemental reflection maps with zero issues.

I guess that this would be a problem for a freeze cyclone although don't quote me on this.

You have two different level 100 trees with slight variations in ailment and impale nodes, what is your current recommendation on that? Looking forward to play this!

Enjoying the build, and can easily clear upto tier 10 maps (not tried higher). However, I seem very squishy, especially against the legion packs. Currently running flesh and stone, dread banner, blood and sand + blash with vulnerability(for the bleed). As soon as I got my enlightened support leveled, will try the recommened pride, vulnerability, blood and sand + dread banner.

Guessing I should focus on Kaom's heart for more survivability.

Also, currently using Kondo's pride sword. Is sinvicta axe better?

Hey Ahfack
Great build, i am absolutely loving it!

One question though, have you considered using Punishment, instead of Vulnerability ? PoB says its more dps, im not too sure about bleeding in general though. The total dmg from bleed seems kinda minor, or am i missing something?

You have next to no armor. If i were you, i would focus on getting 6-linked weapon first, i prefer axe over sword, mainly because of the free Onslaught from the Slaughter node. That way you can get a body armor with defenses like armor+life, while saving for Kaom's Heart. Im using Belly atm myself, which is just a way cheaper alternative for now.
While your helmet is nicely rolled in terms of prefix/suffix, you are also missing like 450 armor there. Overall i would say your physical mitigation, or lack off, is the problem.

What you think about CWDT+Molten shell with Belly? For me it same as Kaom life gain if you have enough armor(but Belly really cheaper).
So I'm wondering why we even use Kaom? :)

I have only 300h in this game, but this build is awesome, mapping are CRAZY, srsly, but now i am at the beggining and i have tabula for my cyclone, it is sometimes hard. when a boss hits me like 5k XD, but for mapping, and money earning soooo good one! thanks for tutorial :)

Honestly i dont think it would be very reliable, but i will test it when i get home. Reason why i say this, is because atm. i have CWDT linked with a golem for testing, and it is never alive because i dont proc CWDT enough. I generally take very little damage, i suspect its because of the great aoe range of cyclone now.
That beeing said, i havent actually considered Molten Shell since it changed, it looks fairly decent now, so yeah i will test it later today :)
For now i also prefer Belly over Kaoms (because of the price, according to PoB i gain 750 life with Kaoms), next for testing is Carcass/Bronn's. :)

Also my aura setup does not include Pride atm. Im using Dread Banner, Blood and Sand, Vulnerability+Blasphemy, Flesh and Stone+Maim currently

Cyclone have never been sooo fckn fast like a breeze, im hyped again with melee :D
