Honest question: Is there even a point to run EQ over Earthshatter?

When a lvl 1/q0 ES gem significantly outperforms a 20/20 ES gem (and that's not even counting an additional damage gem you can get over Reduced Duration), there's something seriously wrong.

Higher tier red maps felt like a chore before, but after changing to ES, they feel much, much better. Aside from the better DPS (especially bosses), ES also feels snappier because it has less wind-up time.

I tried both and killed A8 Sirus with both as well and can definitely say they are pretty close in terms of damage and aoe.
EQ is definitely harder to scale cause it needs duration management. But it delivers stronger, centralized round aoe hit. ES can miss targets in the center, as it's pretty much is perforate 2.0, but the exploding fissures deliver massive aoe and good damage while exploded. Also synergizes really well with Leap Slam.
So in the end both are great with ES literally killing monsters offscreen.

I'm following staff version, my character is quite tanky now with 75%/20% damage/spell block and 7 endurance charges. The only thing is against projectiles, I feel a bit squishy vs projectiles while mapping. Is there any better way to deal with projectiles safely? Thanks

Hi, currently playing SSF with the staff version with 42% attack block and 60% spell block. Against normal mobs survivability and damage feels alright but against bosses the damage feels lackluster and i can still get one shot if i'm unlucky. Any tips on what i can do to increase my block chance or survivability?

Here is my POB: https://pastebin.com/8r1XJ6nt

Also, been trying to chance judgement staffs for hegemony's and gloves for hemophilia but not sure if there is a more efficient way to get those items. Been trying to get The Tower cards as well for a chance at hegemony's but any other tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I recognize the problem, I have problems with the bosses too. No problem in maps, but boss damage feels very low and often I become one shotted (conquerors, elder gards ...). My HP isnt that high, but i wonder if that solves the one shot problem. But then i still have the DPS problem :)

Im looking for a solution too, for now i just try to skip them because this makes no sense and only costs me experience because the risk is just too high to die

If you are doing everything correctly you can't be one-shotted by any map boss
1) make sure all your endurance charges are up BEFORE you enter the boss arena
2) if not - generate them , otherwise you might INSTANTLY die
3) save your vaal molten shell for boss fights
4) plant warchief next to the boss
5) don't forget blood rage. it will wear out on bosses without adds and you will be slowed down
6) glancing blows is a massive defensive option. Make sure you get it before going to super end-game bosses

Overall I thought i'm Tanky with decent resist and over 5k HP. But still got popped by unique, ranged and bosses are taking forever to kill.

I noticed as other posted, because of the slow slam; jumping into packs at times doesn't work because of whatever delay they cause the slam from stuns, shock etc.

I know I'm not fully geared; and recently took a dip in cold resist for Assassin's mark ring. Any types on getting around those things. I feel like I'd have some trouble in the T15/16, if sustaining maps wasn't a bitch.

Can you put a screenshot of your keybind roleplayer? I'm not sure what is the best top dps rotation for bosses/trash. Seems I run out of available keybind slot unless I'm missing something.

When are you using the 2 vaal skills? The warcry? Precision? Blood rage? What is your "ho shit" skill sequence to not die when it's getting hot?

Would impale be recommended over pulverise? and getting Harpooner for a total of 70% chance of impale. For better dps against bosses i guess since it takes time to ramp up the damage without Impaler.
