This is my first league and after getting bored of Self Cast Witch, I'm having so much fun with your Tectnic Slam Jugg. I just wanted some advice on what pieces I should be looking to upgrade next. I'm currently doing Tier 12 maps but I'm anxious about moving to higher tier maps, I don't know if I'm strong enough for them yet? PoB has me at a little over 500k dps. How far will this amount carry me?

Any advice/help is appreciated!

Your DPS has got to be higher than that, your gear looks pretty good. First thing is to divine your loreweave to 80% (vendoring a tabula may be cheaper than buying divines). Second, is to take my new advice and drop Unyielding for Unbreakable (5 respec points for each ascendancy node). If you'd rather try Unrelenting and grab end charges, try that, but I think Unbreakable is better for less investment. Third, I'm not crazy about Rumi's in this build. See if you can find a Cinderswallow (3% recoverd life > 3% recovered mana, any craft you like since you got that boot enchant) for a good price. Make sure your pantheons are set up. Your jewels are okay, not great. You probably should have staunching rolled on a flask. You want your curse flask to have more duration than you have to do curse maps so it can be up near full time.

Other than that, it would be larger changes for more marginal upgrades. You actually have accuracy on your gear and could use well corrupted swords with fun implicits; your can flip your offhand if you like. You should be able to push t16 maps, I think. Send your PoB, maybe I'm misreading this, but: leap/whirl into a pack to get fortify, pop flasks, swing like crazy watching your life and pop the life flask if it's getting too close. Trust your AA, IC, sword pseudo LGoH, and arakaali's pantheon to keep you alive. Drop your totems first if it's not a trash mob. If you're terrified of a boss, watch a video first. You'll figure out a technique that works for you.

EDIT: drop master of arena and the 1 point node at the start of marauder for a jewel/whatevers at any time you wish

So I worked on some of the things you mentioned. Divined my loreweave up to 80%, dropped the Rumi's for a Cinderswallow. Pantheons are setup just as you recommend (including the upgrade to the Major), rolled Staunching on a flask, and got different gloves without the accuracy on them. This all led to a fairly large dps increase on PoB, I'm at 777k shaper dps. I'll link that now.

I'm currently pushing Tier 13 maps and feeling pretty comfortable about it. Next thing I'm going to work towards is getting some corrupt swords. This might take a while as I buy up all the cheap razors laying around. I'll probably look at replacing my head piece next, or at very least get a helm enchant on it. In my tree I replaced one of the points you mentioned and I'm picking up Elemental Dmg nodes on my way to a 4th jewel socket. I'll keep an eye on getting some new jewels as well.

Jungle Valley boss' soul is large boon to Soul of Arakaali and should be your goal asap. the 50% life recovery procs when immortal call goes off if you have blood rage active. This doubles the life gain from each sword, giving you 4 percent of max life gained per ignite. With this and arctic armor, you can facetank quite a bit.

It's actually 2. MS alternates between each hand while dual wielding.

I started with Mathil's TS build, and switch to this build because it looked more tanky. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm still dying a lot in tier 12 maps, and that's even without fighting syndicate.

I have tried looking through the guide, but can't see what I'm missing. I have been stuck lvl 91 in a week now, because I die too much.

My build looks like this : https://pastebin.com/jU2kj08m

Any help is very much appreciated. I really want to reach shaper this league since I haven't done him before.
