Low damage on lightning strike Raider

Hey I am playing a lightning strike raider, Im using doryani's prototype and currently sitting at negative 59% lightning res.

Character name: Just_Dont_Get_Hit_

I have high attack speed 6.7 aps
I have 411% crit multi without nightblade
I have 37% crit chance and 97% chance to hit evasive mobs
and I am doing the trick where my gloves makes be strike the boss twice

It takes me like 20 sec to kill a t 16 boss, I am missing a six link and currently saving up for it as i've spent over 2.2k fusings not getting one.

is there any upgrades that would be better for me or give me more damage and what should I be focused on getting first.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Just at a glance mate i'd say you've left a hole in your stats, that being that you have all the multipliers but you don't actually have the base damage.

The good news is that any base damage you add is going to scale you up insanely fast but i'd wager thats where your missing out atm.

Basically an elemental damage with attacks ring with flat damage + a 6l are gonna double your damage. It might even be that double lightning damage with claws abyss jewels give you huge multipliers you'd have to check PoB for this one.

I'd recommend buying a ring with either flat lightning or elemental damage with attacks fractured on it, catalyst then spamming it with wrath or torment essences until you get a fairly strong ring. roughly like that but obviously with the resists right for your build. You can get a 50% Ele damage, 40% Lightning damage 1-80 flat ring like this if your really getting the wallet out.

This is the kinda item I mean that i made for like 40c in ritual league (different build but same principle)

I'd look at 2 socket Bubonic trail with a pair of double lightning claw jewels next, check that one before you buy them but you can get them fairly cheap usually and corrupted if you want to shell out more to get some dodge back or life etc.

The lab enchant for boots 1-160 lightning damage if you haven't killed recently is pretty strong for bossing on builds like this, i'd understand keeping the stun avoid though.

The rest of your gear is honestly about simulating in PoB - keep in mind the less lightning res they have the less useful it is vs just adding more damage so your gonna find you have to balance items out.

37% crit chance sounds awfully low
you wanna get as close to 100% as you can

Well thats in hideout without elusive and diamond flask so it might be closer to 75%

I don't know if this is true as im running a Awakened added lightning and id need like 10 jewels to get the same amount of added damage.
Awakened added lightning does double my dps but the problem is that i dont have 10 jewel sockets. If I PoB the perfect added lightning claw and added lightning attacks jewel it give me 3% more dmg over the crit multi jewels I have atm.
I will definitely look for a better ring the one i have atm sucks but i do really NEED the chaos res it gives me.

you'd need 7 but were talking about where the best scaling comes from, for example there is one on trade right now 39 life, 2-29 lit, 2-48 lit with claws for only 20c, I wish i could buy this on HC. If you put 2 of those in Bubonics with the lab enchant you've got ~ 50% of awakened lightning damage as extra and more life (F for spell dodge)

Wrath only gives 1-180 and thats for 50% of your mana its just about where you can get value vs your current setup.

Oh heres a big one for you because I loaded your PoB tempered by war is increasing your resistance by 60% - this is because -60 lightning resist is not the same as 50% reduced lightning resist. 60% reduced is taking your -120 to 60 (50% reduced, think of it as ignoring if positive or negative).

I actually looked at this because i saw how many thread of hopes you had going and was like theres no way hes only at -60 lol so its good job you mentioned it.

Your base crit averages out at a bit above 60% btw which is perfectly fine so you don't need to add that much there.

One last thing I can think of is multistrike won't support your VLS only the regular one so if you want maximum boss burst dps you'd be better replacing this with damage on full life IMO.

I know it makes me very sad. While I do understand what you are saying, what else would i use my mana on other than the wrath?

regarding the boots I dont think I can bring myself to lose stun and 15% spell dodge espcially since its capped making it so effective. Also the 1-160 enchant is conditional and there will probably always be a random ad ive killed making it escentially useless.

I just checked some stuff a perfect 2x 5-50 jewel does not even give me more dmg than 50% inc damage actually a lot less. (and yes that is INC dmg)

You could run grace instead of wrath, watcher's eye it for attack dodge and use double bubonics with stun avoidance instead getting you 3k base evade + attack + ~ 100+ life for the cost of a jewel socket essentially. I'm not saying i'd actually do this i'm just saying be open to what you use what slot for its up to you what you want to prioritize.

But tbh if we go back to basics having actually looked through this properly and tested stuff its

remove lethal pride (or just the keystone don't know what the passives give)

upgrade ring 1 prioritising %damage, upgrade belt prioritising % damage and get a 6 link, this puts you at ~ 1.5mil single target and whatever vaal lightning strike adds which should be substantial and is a reasonable number.

I'd love to give you a super solution but most of your values are fine its just the endgame tweaking now.

I cant really drop the tempered by war i will just die from every single hit. the grace does not seem like a bad idea ill look into it

you've got the right ideas OP I think you might just be nearing the limits within the constraints. If your using the tempered by war to convert your lighting to fire in combo with your shield to chaos you might be better just using a vaal timeless jewel and running a different shield, and or alternatively buy a talisman with lightning taken as fire/cold.

I believe eyes of the greatwolf can have 100% taken as fire/cold too.

If there aren't any good ones for sale you can get them from Betrayal with 2* Jorgin on research I think, odds aren't too bad on T2 talisman transform and you usually end up with a better neck (though it takes longer to do)

good luck!
