Dps is 92k.

Your belt literally has no Life in it. Did you mistake 83 armour in your belt as 83 life or what?

Your weapons are bad too.. Why would you need resists from your weapon?! If your survivability is bad why don't you get yourself a shield instead of dual wielding two imo really bad daggers. You need "% of lightning damage as added chaos" or "%of non chaos damage as extra chaos" mod on your weapon.

You are wasting a lot of points on your tree to go to Arcane potency.. Get it as an anointment for your amulet instead. Also respect points from your tree from Crackling speed and go towards Blood siphon.

I don't really get your flasks too.. No flask to remove freeze and they are in general bad. Check the flasks in gear section.

Respec from those points and try to experiment with the new cluster jewels.. Some are really strong. Just upgrade your weapons asap.. get a shield.. respec points to get more life.

I'll also suggest to Spec into Mind drinker to get 2% Mana for each kill.. It boosts your survivability a lot

Just listing some facts:

Your PoB has an Essence Worm equipped but no aura. Just adding a L20 Wrath to the PoB is a 22% increase (92k -> 113k).

You need 111 dex for L20 Faster Attacks and you're at 218 (+30 from Alacrity annointment). Changing Alacrity to something affordable like Prodigal Perfection bumps that to 122k (+31.6% from original, without big investments) and even increasing your mana pool for MoM, boosting eHP a bit (you want 43% of your unreserved life as mana pool with 30% MoM).

You need 111 str for that L20 Fortify but you're at 142. Moving the single +10 str node in the bottom left of your tree to +5% life under Discipline and Training gives you +100 hp (not a lot, but these things add up).

Your 4th Jewel Socket is empty (the one at the top center).

You're using Archmange Support and you have -% mana cost on your Fulgent Prism abyss jewel, that's actually hurting your dps by 1.7%.

I suggest unspeccing the empty jewel socket for the moment to grab Phase Acrobatics since you're literally just one point shy of it atm.

You could also think about removing the 3 nodes from the Crackling Speed wheel and moving them to Blood Siphon + the one after that, that would boost your HP to 4.320 + 1.778 mana.

You should look at replacing your Vermillion Ring + Belt soon. Ideally you'd want a Diamond Ring + Lfie & Resists on your belt, if that's not possible try finding a nice Two-Stone Ring to fill resistances. %-life implicit on a ring is only good if you have flat life on your gear to begin with.

Edit: PoB with some changes: https://pastebin.com/tNQqnecg
- Changed the +10str node bottom left to Phase Acrobatics
- Switched Amulet Annointment
- Unspecced Empty Jewel Socket and went for Blood Siphon

92k dps -> 122k dps
3872 life -> 4145 life
1637 mana -> 1769 mana
30% Spell Dodge

Edit 2: Get instant life+mana flasks...

Edit 3: Activating Lucky crit chance + shock effect (50%) + brand attachment in configuration and enabling Atziri + Diamond Flask shows 539k dps, up from 451k from your original PoB. You really should focus more on defense at this point.

EDIT : Double post by mistake

Finally reached 1 Million DPS in POB.
I experimented with a lot of support gems.. I swapped out Faster casting and Increased critical strikes for Hypothermia and Concentrated effect.

I got 1.5 Million DPS in POB when I replaced my large cluster jewel and swapped out Hypothermia and Added cold damage for Archmage and Increased critical strikes but I still prefer the previous setup for the shatters. Also I hate it when I lose a lot of mana because of Archmage since I tend to recast Storm brand a lot out of habit.

I want to try to play a similiar kind of this build as Gucci Hobo. Can you give me some advice form unique weapons which might work decent?

My current build. It's flawless up to map tier 3, but I've started dying a lot now, so I'll be trying out some of OP's gear, and replacing the Tabula, now that I finally have some chaos.

is it possible have 6 brands as inquisitor?

Someone can help me, don't now how to upgrade my build :/

I don't know why but after certain changes, better weapons and massive chest update PoB shows lower dps than before ...

Apologies in advance, real newb here. Having trouble on t4 maps (getting deleted) but my dps is also apparently horrific. At this point I wouldn't mind giving up some damage to gain some survivability. It would be better to run around in circles for 30 seconds to kill things and at least be able to progress than constantly getting 1 shot down. I know my gear sucks and I have some currency kicking around to upgrade but I can't see how I could ever get to a state where adding life to my gear is going to get me from 3.7 to 5kish.
This is my first build and I really like this game but at this point I have just hit a wall. If anyone sees obvious gear choices (I have a cheap loreweave I could roll the dice on 6 linking) it would be appreciated. More than that though, are there nodes I could re-spec into now to give me a realistic chance of consistently living long enough to actually get some higher tier maps under my belt so I can actually get some XP?
Right now the plan is to go for that jewel cluster top left by the elemental damage and get some crazy large cluster jewel with whatever notables can make me less squishy. Maybe switch out wrath for a defensive aura too. Idk. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't wanna just re-roll my first build but I am getting slammed on the atlas.
