30% as chaos is unresisted and cannot be reflected, you could get the same damage with an offhand but you'd have to deal with DW mechanics.

Doryani's is strictly inferior to death's hand.

I've tested the Death's Hand and Doryani's in comparison as well, and I can confirm significantly higher DPS comes from the Death's Hand than Doryani's (mine below for reference to rolls)

I would be very interested to see the rest of the gear you are using.

Wouldn't spirit void be superior to Mind drinker?

Also wouldn't faster attacks be more dps than added fire damage?

I linked it all before? Check my previous post, there was a list of all my weapons and gear. I didn't hold back much on gearing.

I had a look at your gear and I cannot see how DH should give you a significant DPS increase over Doryani's, or did you mean that equipping DH gives you a significant tooltip increase? Since the tooltip is based on alternating weapon attacks it is obvious that DH will show higher numbers as its base stats are significantly better (8+% crit vs only 6%).

Any chance you could link the flasks you use?

Not sure if surgeons are good for this build.

I am factoring in the Unholy Might, if you're not. It's on constantly, and so should be considered in DPS calculations. I was using tooltip, yes, but the difference was somewhere in the range of 7000-8000 tooltip DPS difference, so definitely significant. I am quite sure that I get more damage with it. I don't know if you've used it, but try it.

Also, I've been thinking about my gloves. Upgrading my rings isn't cheap, and I've been wondering if it might be better to get some solid offensive stats there and instead put some of the longevity on a solid pair of rare gloves. What do you think?

Apart from maybe a Surgeon's Granit Flask of Iron Skin the Surgeon's mod is not really usefull.

When you have base DPS of ~80k with about 450% crit multi then reducing your (displayed) crit chance by 17.5% ((8.1%-6%)/(8.1*2)) obviously will result in a DPS loss of several thousand points. As already mentioned in the guide, you cannot draw any conclusions from your tooltip, since the underlying numbers are totally wrong.
Regarding Maligaro's: For this build I strongly dislike items without a life mod and the boni that Maligaro's provides aren't even that impressive in the first place. Once you make the switch to Diamond rings, you shouldn't even need the additional crit% anymore.
