Can I switch one of the claw to The Scourge Terror Claw? Will that increase my damage overall?

Depending on which claws you're wearing. I personally didn't upgrade to Scourge from ToA, because even with the minor increase in sheet DPS, ToA gives better QoL overall.

What kind of shaper DPS have you guys got to?

With ancestral call I have 201763 on my magma balls
with elemental focus I have 349678 on my magma balls

Do you plan to add leveling trees at some point?

Those are my items RN.
I guess it's my favourite build so far. Doing almost any map is just a breeze. Although... Today i tried to do 2 guardians for the first time. Phoenix and chimera. Got kicked in balls, spitted on face, teabagged and left in corner to cry. I admit, on phoenix map i got -12% max res in corrupted version and increased boss life, it was kinda suicide mission to try him, tho chimera hadn't anything, to be honest it rolled 4 mods which weren't considered as "rip" mod. His snakes killed me, goatmans just gangbanged brutally raped my ranger. Got just one shotted, chimera himself killed 2 portals, rest lost by his minions. Seriously, any advices? Those 2 maps really demotivated me... I know they are supposed to be guardians to final boss in game but... Come on ;/

That sounds like a matter of practice. Chimera should not really kill you unless you're really unlucky, or you just tank his flurry. The ads should also die as soon as they spawn, so you should look into the mechanics first. Your gear is fine, much better than mine when I killed Shaper.

Is lycosidae doing well in this build?

You'll have to change a lot of things to be able to use Lycosidae, but it'd be good.

I want to use Lycosidae, what would I have to change?

I'm wearing a belly.
