Ah, ok, you are using a 6l Infractem. I like the bow for leveling and you can do yellow maps with it, but something like a Reach or 330+ pdps Bow with crit is soo much better. I have no idea how to price a 6l Infractem but it's probably somewhat cheaper compared to a non-linked Reach, so you might have to play with the setup as it is for a while.

Reasons are pretty much:

1) you get comparable dps with a decent 5l bow but can get a) leech b) a lot of life+res+dmg on your rings

2) an eva 6l is very cheap (under 1ex with a decent base) in a sc temp league, don't know much about standard prices.

until you can afford the switch..there isn't a way around Thief's Torment or some form of life-gain-on-hit. I tried it once without and it was pretty much unplayable, even at dried lake. Your Infractem has a bad implicit roll, so some orb of blessings would help there (you can stop at 45%+ or so).

in your setup: slower proj or ele focus give you better dmg compared to FA. Also you might consider running some form of ele weakness on hit (curse on hit or gloves corruption) with this setup (80%+ or so of your dmg is elemental) and attaching the power charge generation elsewhere.
A different way of handling this would be switching to pure phys with something like (TS-GMP-PPAD-SP-FA-Inc crit multi / whatever)

Gear: jewellery looks OK [unfortanetly you have to get thief's torment], quiver is OK as well (I'd probably still prefer drillneck/signal fire), boots, belt + gloves + boots are really bad. The chestpiece is covering your resists but has bad Evasion, so you can upgrade it later (after you are done with the pieces listed above).

As a rule of thumb [without Kaom's] you are looking for 25% MS on your boots and T1-T2 life on every single rare you're wearing on this build. If you manage to get some insane item with a bit lower life, you can ofc make an exception, but in general you're just way too squishy with low life rolls (or without any life rolls).

As an example: I had T1 on every single rare on my life based assassin this temp-league and can't say i had a great amount of life.

Tree looks sort of ok, I'd connect the shadow points on the left side (for the time being) and get the jewel socket though. The quickstep nodes you can regret to get the jewel socket in the duelist area imo.

----

After you make some switches and farm a currency for a decent bow, you'll be having much more fun with this build compared to now.

Would someone be kind enough to take a peek at my build and tell what I am doing wrong, please?

I have followed the passive skill tree religiously. I have the 6L, Tornado Shot, harbinger bow. Still, I feel the build is lacking.

I only have 17,807.2 dps as opposed to the 100k displayed in the build write up. I only have 2,854 life as opposed to the 4.5k in the build write up. Finally, where are the Frenzy charges that I allocated skill points on the passive skill tree?

Obviously, I am missing something important. Can someone enlighten the dim and cast a little light into my darkness?

Thank you.

Thank you for your responses.

Now, would someone clue me in on how to, "unprivate" my profile? I was unaware that such an option, public or private, existed. "Private" must be a preset.(?)

Also, if whomever you were discussing is wearing Daresso's chest, it provides Endurance as well as Onslaught. Perhaps that is where that character's Endurance charges are coming from.

Again, thank you.

p.s. My dps has now climbed to, 20,103.1 - still a long way from 100k.



edit: added p.s.
