Guys and it happens :(!

T16 phoenix (alched)/ Masterminds liar/Xoph/Tul became impossible to do.
I dont know what i screwed but i have not enough leech of hp now and not enough DPS to do any of those things, also realized- my DPS went down, just put 2 jewels in my tree.

Got 3APS with cyclone, 24.5% crit chance, after killing mobs 45.5% crit chance, crit multi is decent 434%.

Can sm1 look on my tree and EQ and tell me where im missing that much dps that i cant do those endgame bosses and why my clearspeed (i dont oneshot normal mobs as it was) went down?
Characted on betrayal is: Papierzax

Please Guys help with some wise tips.

you dont skill power charge nodes!!!!! very simple lol

You want to say if i dont have +1 power charge thats the reason i dont have enough dps?

He is wrong.

The reason why you deal much less damage is:
1) You are using the old version of the passive tree, check the new one;
2) You lack quality in your gems - our damage spell is Ice Nova, both your Ice Novas don't have quality 20;
3) You are using 'Increased critical strike damage' in chest, you have to replace it for 'Increased critical strike CHANCE';
4) You are using only one ring (don't know if you are updating your character while I write this);
5) You are using the budget version of the build, which deals significantly less damage than more expensive versions;
6) You are using Onslaught on helmet, which increases your attack speed, decreasing the times you activate ice novas;
7) You are using 'Abyss Jewels' in your passive tree jewels slots - replace them for actual jewels with more damage mods and % maximum life.

Is there a reason why we cant replace the shield for an other one hand mulimod weapon? Was thinking hits cant be evaded, trigger sockeded gems(auto cast vortex), and non-choas dms as extra damage with spell% on a shapet opal sceptor with 20% elemental dmg as extra chaos dmg. That would make dmg go up to a an other lvl. But I might be missing something:) Going to try to puch it in on path of building when I come home. Only losing 15% block and some life and gaining probably massive dps, 10% atk speed and quality of life with vortex.

Hits cant be evaded only applies to the weapon its crafted on and it also wouldnt proc any spell in your cospris.

Just killed U.Elder for the first time with this build, managed to get it in 1 set (barely on the last portal mind you).

Thanks again for the great build and write up op :)

Damn one-word difference can do so much:( Well we can still get all the other things and use that other prefix for more dps. With the mutimod sceptor it will give us a dps boost of 38% and the free vortex caster (no self cast needed). The dps boost take in the less hit chance (66% now) and still give us the 38%. BTW the secound weapon is not there to proc more times on cospris just casting vortex by it self.

The question now is the 38% dps worth it or do we lose other things just because of not hitting 100% accuracy?

Just a tip - you are missing quality in some of your gems, specially Ice Nova. Should improve a lot your damage :)

It's not viable and a immense DPS loss not hitting at least 90% of the time. Almost every build aims for 95% or use something to hit 100%. Not viable at all.
