Best Single Target Attack-Skill

Hey guys

I try to find the best attack skill for single target.

What I find in google is everyone says Barrage, Molten Strike and Blade Flurry.

Barrage:
numbers dont get very high in PoB, whatever I do. You can check my Wander "Jordan_Two_Delta" (https://pastebin.com/xyXAF43G). I'm sitting at 1.02M DPS (gear far from optimal). Even if I throw in a lot better stuff, DPS will jump up to ~3M...
And then I see videos where they kill Shaper and Guardians and shit in a few seconds with budget gear for Bow/Wand. Where's the difference to my char (Minotaur kill takes about 1.5min)?


Molten Strike:
easy to get insane DPS if I calculate it correctly (melee APS * Projectile Average DMG * #Projectiles??)
With this I can easily reach 5M DPS with budget geared Raider/Inqui w/e...


Blade Flurry:
imo a bit complicated with 6 stages and/or release dmg, but DPS will always be low compared to MS-Calcs...
And what about Hits/second using Life on Hit-Claws?
Imo I can get much more "Leech" with hundreds of MS-balls hitting a single target per second or not?

cant rly say much about the other builds, but for barrage



i can get ~2million dps on shaper with avg ( which means not a single item is over 100 ex ) if you ignore the leg vinktar... my highest items is maybe around 50 ex ...


so 1 million dps is rly rly low... as far as i know you can get with a mirrorwed pdps wand 5+ Million and around 7 ( or 10 m was capped or so)



bladeflurry got the rly nice QoL you can already get to 6 stacks befor the fights start so you get a huge burst ... And always release at 6 stacks







And what about Hits/second using Life on Hit-Claws?
Imo I can get much more "Leech" with hundreds of MS-balls hitting a single target per second or not?


yeah thats possible ( mathil made a build a few month back with those )




/E: in example demigod made a build in the ranger section for barrage with a 4.7 M Shapder dps ( phy+chaos ) , but phy -> ele conversion should be more dps ( IMO )


/E#2: to your build

- gems not 21/20
- your abyss jewls suck so hard lol, get 3 or 4 prop jewels and your dmg should be much higher ( best is 4x dmg stats with xx ele dmg with wands and general dmg nodes
- pisce without culling strike
- only 2 dmg flask our of 4 ( or without quick 5 )
- overall gear simply not good enough ( no barrage ench / no crit multi on rings / amu / not even 2x opal rings )

IME maybe ~35% of balls will hit (small, boss may get some more) target if you namelock it in the open. See thread here: Molten Strike DPS Calculator
