Help with scaling damage

Its still not very good but I swapped a lot of the useless passives out, gave you impale, gave you pride aura and put in some cheaper rares for damage and resists along with eldritch implicits.

I sincerely doubt it, but many thanks for the effort. Pride aura is equal to another support gem, nothing more. And it's not always efficient, since you'd gain its full bonus only if enemies stand 4 seconds next to you (or you next to them). And you lose both attack and movement speed from Haste. Thus, you end up with pretty much the same thing, except the movement speed and the faster reaction times in your attacks. There is nothing useless in the passives I've chosen, as I mentioned earlier. There are no skills there which grant you a different multiplicative layer (such as "more damage"). Impale might be useful, I might just try to see if it fits anywhere for minimal loss. If you're talking about equipment, you need to provide actual numbers. For example, this mace has 2x more damage than your current one. This armor somehow gives you 100% extra global phys dmg bonus, etc. Still very far away from even 1 million, if you ask me. Not to mention 20 million or 240 million, as I've heard people claim.

EDIT: although Impale is just a washed-up version of bleeding. It just does 10% of the initial damage, even if it stacks for a while. Aggravated bleed does 210% damage. It seems that impale isn't even worth the fuss, struggling to raise the chance, but I'll try to see if it does some good.

Did you even look at the PoB? You can swap items and weapons at will to see damage changes.

You are using pride AND haste in my version. And yes it takes a few seconds to ramp but its still the best phy damage aura. With no ramping you are still at 1 million dps.

Impale is also not bleeding. They scale in very different ways. Also using the bleed nodes will not get you very far unless you are specifically a bleed build.

Would be 1.1M if you ticked close range box in config to get the groundslam bonus dmg.

Using both auras requires mana reservation investment and it will leave you with too little mana for skills in the end. I have a Flesh and Stone aura that I can't even use (it reserves less than Pride) because I end up with my mana drained pretty fast. Before I get better equipment, with extra flat mana, I'm stuck with only one aura and this one is the best overall. And when I'll have enough mana, I'd rather use Flesh and Stone than Pride.

Yes, I am a bleed build and that's why any passive nodes that I'll remove from my build will mean less bleeding damage, because most of them have "increased damage with ailments".

Again did you actually open the PoB?

Nothing you have scales bleeding.

EDIT: Give me links to actual items on the wiki or poe trade market, so I can look at what would bring a consistent improvement to the overall damage, if you want to help me see the light. And then I'll try to calculate for myself.

Ok I am tapping out too. You dont want to learn. And you have so many fundamental misunderstandings about how this game works. Like you think attack speed helps bleed because your bleed chance is so low but a real bleed build has 100% chance to bleed.
