I'm in the market for a new build. Anyone have any feedback on how this performs against the new end game content eg. maven end game invitations?

With enough gear, BFBB can easy-mode all endgame content. Single target dps is actually extremely high and you can make the build very tanky.

You can easily peak over 100+ million dps with some buffs up.

9k+ effective HP
Overleech
elemental ailments immune
Stun immune
Decent phys dmg mitigation
High performance immortal call
Block cap for both spells and attacks (glancing blows tho)
Life and/or ES recovery on block.

I'll say tho... one of the things that made this build FARRRRRRRRRRRR more enjoyable to me, was scaling cast speed really high. This makes targeting, boss mechanics and moving around sooooo much better overall and its an extremely noticeable quality of life.

You can even do EB + MoM setup if you wanna be lazy about mana (this is a setup I did and it has been working wonders for me) but the pure HP build is also extremely powerful and just as good in my opinion.

The build works on a budget but can also be scaled very high with some gg gear.

This was my take on the build (current gear):

Could someone explain why my

shows a higher tooltip DPS for bladeblast than a new wand I picked up:

I tried to craft the added fire damage because I was curious. but that wasn't it.
