A +20 avg damage 70 int crit/crit damage ring would add about 5k dps but would cost me a considerable amount of EHP. That upgrade will cost about 2m.
I know I could get another pair of bracers that would easily net me 6-8000 dps but the movement speed on lacunis is almost mandatory at this point (too much WW barbing).
Is there a slot (or slots) that pops out to any of you gurus that can get me to the point that I can archon comfortably in A3?
The main slot I see is your helm. If you don't mind losing either the vit or socket, you can get an Andriel's Visage for a large DPS upgrade. Otherwise you can probably upgrade the crit chance and maybe int, but I don't know the relative price of those. The AV will run around 1-3 mil depending on what 1 extra stat you want. The socket will run more like 10mil+. On the bright side, a good one will net you around 6-8k dps, I think.
If you're patient you can probably upgrade your OH for a couple mil to one with a little more damage, but I don't know how much dps you can gain before having to spend 5mil+. Probably only 1-2k at most.
Overall I think you are decently ready for Archon. You might try Force Armor over Prismatic until you get over 300k EHP with archon form and prismatic. The only issues you might have is your Life Steal is a little low so face tanking elites might not work out so well and damage reflect mobs are going to be a pain for a while. I started playing with it at around 80k buffed with resists on only 1 piece and it worked alright, just maybe skip areas with elite phasebeasts for a while.
I'm currently at 89k fully buffed (88.9 technically).
