My total DPS buffed is reading as 724k, but I also have +50% holy dmg total all from helm, neck, and wrist. My toughness is 9.4k in game (for some reason it doesn't show that on character profile).
It was suggested that my build before was way too heavy on toughness (I had 14 mil/800k life) and low on dmg (I had 550k or so). However, I felt like I was doing T3 comfortably, maybe a little slow. Now that I took the suggestion to lower my toughness and increase my damage, I feel like my performance is much worse in T3. I am constantly running away to avoid death (and thereby not dealing dmg) and I feel like my health drops fast. It feels like I'm doing something wrong, since I have dropped running T3 and now run T2.
I also switched from a Blessed Hammer/close range build to a long-range Fist of the Heavens build and maybe that will help my performance Iin T3 (since now I can deal damage at more range). I will test this out.
My Paragon spec is:
1: All STR.2: All CD. 3: All life regen. 4: All area damage.
I would appreciate any suggestions about how to improve further. Thank you :).
EDIT*** : First of the Heavens + Wrathful build seems to be working a lot better on T3 since I can now deal a lot more damage at range. I suppose the hammer build wasn't working as well because they require more of a tanky gear set. Anyway, suggestions still welcome!
I wonder what I could do at adjust my build based on what I have. Most of your suggestions are to find items, but that isn't something that can be done quickly. I don't have the plans forAughilds and it might never drop, so I can't craft it now. I have been trying for the ring, but no luck yet.
I've been hoping for a new weapon but this is the best I've ever come across (which oddly enough, I found on my wizard).
I do have another shield, which is an Ivory Tower (STR/AR/Life/CC9.5), and I do have a leg Neck - Haunt of Vaxo (it has basically the same stats as my rare, with more STR and VIT instead of holy dmg). Despite putting that on and gaining 5% sheet dps, my damage feels lower because I lose the 15% holy damage from the rare neck.
I was originally running a Heaven's Fury build, but I tried and tried and just could never get used to it. I strongly dislike having to aim the beam and frequently miss. Maybe when if I get the flail that enhances it, I'll try it again.
Anyway, I switched to using blessed hammers with limitless (since I have +34% holy dmg). I can clear T3 easily and T4 slowly, although single target is painfully slow. Generally, I feel like my damage is too low, but to get more I have to sacrifice so much toughness. Even with near 14 mil, I feel too squishy in T4.
