I followed the guide, but I'm too squishy at level 91.

I am able to handle 99% of the enemies, but there's that 1% that will kill me in 1-2 quick hits and bring my xp bar back to the beginning. Some are rogue exiles or map bosses such as that cheap fire fury lookalike at Crematorium map, that fire rain will drain my health from full to none in like half a second.

My evasion is at around 8300, all resist maxed, 4357hp. I can't seem to get more than this without sacrificing some huge amount of my dps (frenzy at around 70k without flasks).

Sometimes even a rare will destroy me before I am aware of the massive damage.

Other bosses such as malformation I don't even bother trying. Vagan can also be a problem sometimes, so I to avoid his dailies. There is also a Hunter mission that is deadly, the boss is a unique leaper that will jump like 5 times per second dealing massive damage.

These map modifiers are a no-no for me: temporal chains, beyond, reflect, +80% of some damage, vulnerability (this one ok on lower maps)

All this makes my process of leveling quite tough. By being level 91 I get almost no xp at maps under tier 9 and too risky on the higher tier maps.

As I said it's a matter of personal preference. For me the arrows are WAY too slow with slower proj (we already discussed this a few pages ago). And well yes, I do more than average damage, from 30K LA/GMP/Chain to 60k TS/GMP.

We don't mention it much because Increase critical strikes performs equally well and use less mana. I'd rather get more critical strikes than harder ones.

i see alot of people talking about gem set ups, but noone mentions increased critical damage. it is about the same to me as slower projectiles in the tooltip. i use ts-gmp-ppad-pierce-fa-icd works realy well for me. u can also use assasins mark to make it even better.

So is my setup okay so far or should i change it?

AOE
SA - PPAD - FA - Chain - Added Fire DmG - (If i get 6l ill put LL or ICM ?)

Single Target
Frenzy - PPAD - FA - SP - Added Fire DmG - (If i get 6l ill put ICM ?)


I saw some use instead of Added fire dmg, WED. Why is that?
And i saw that some othe use as 5th link physical to lightning...
Could someone explain me the differences?.
Thanks.

Gem, that increases critical multiplier, is called "Increased Critical Damage" (ICD).

WED is good for DPS tooltip if you already put AFD or PtL or you use LA/Ice Shot. Otherwise it's BAD choice. It increased elemental damage only though, so you may need to stack more leech on gear to compensate.

PtL provides shock, which may drastically increase clear speed VS packs. Its downside is that it cuts your physical damage by half, and so does your life/mana leech (you need to stack more leech on gear to compensate).

SP (instead of AFD) grants physical damage boost, which cant be resisted and provides leech. However, some players find it uncomfortable to run with slower projectile speed.

Your setup is OK, but i'd suggested to try other options as well (full physical with SP, and shock with PtL) for your AoE skill.
And you netter go full physical with 1-target setup, as hitting 1 target doesnt provide much leech.
