Shaper... build problems....

Hello fellow exiles!

So, as the title says my build is having problems with the Shaper..

my Atlas is at 125/126 bonus atm so I have cleared everything successfully so far (Guardians deathless on almost all kills)

my damage I thought was perfectly fine until I started to fight Shaper, don't get me wrong I do damage (I get him to stage 3 consistently) it's just not... fast enough and I'm having problems with adds if I'm out of flask charges (Lion's roar primarily(so I try to save it for the adds because knockback works great on them but then don't utilize the multi it gives on Shaper..))

so damage being ''slow'' causes me to get kinda overwhelmed with vortexes + Zana sometimes get's KO'd because I cannot comfortably and consistently kill all the adds (sometimes I manage sometimes I fail)

I've fought him about 8, 9 times and have a great feel for the fight and can dodge his moves quite nicely (it wrecks me if I get stunned by balls though since I'm not stun immune)

so I hoped with some ''training'' of the fight I'd be able to defeat him but I simply fall short with the DPS in my opinion
I thought 6 portals will be enough but they're not..



the character is XHackSlasX on SC (started on Legacy HC) so you can see the gear, gems and tree if you check my characters (got 3 so you won't need to look for him ;))


Let me know if there's any info I can give in the thread that you would need if you have decided to help me for which I am very very grateful and will repay how many I can with in-game currency

all input is welcome


Thank you for your time exiles! ;)

You´re stun sensitive but you should know if it´s rly problem for you in this fight.
I would take dream fragment to become freeze/chill immune, drop sapphire flask (not ToH), get Atziri's Promise and take Alchemist passive to buff all your flasks by 30% to improve damage output.

You can try decoy totem that will attract enemies and keep Zana fine while you´re killing them.

You should buy better gloves. I would suggest Shaper's Touch (new version) that will give you nice amount of accuracy and other sweet stats.

Thank you for your input Rakiii

will try out some of the combinations you propose

I think it's gonna have to be more of a significant change...

Have you tested it? Try Path of building to see the real dps vs shaper you´re dealing and the difference before and after these changes.

You can also test your dps with the different weapons and/or with poison support gem etc.
