You should link all your gear before going for improvments on itself.
It seems you are trying to level gems in your maingear without using the skills you actually need to get the damage through doomfletch. OFC you are doing no damage and keep dying like that.
change the gems in your boots and gloves. you dont need vaal haste for the start, its nice but not necessary (in bossfights its mostly useless unless you run into a lot of mobs for souls)
you have TS in your chest and barrage in the bow. Instead of that, change your OH and use it to level the gems you need.
My actual gear:
Spoiler
Its also pretty shit, but i have no issues running maps, since herald of ice kills most of the white packs, 1 crit and yellow mobs are nearly gone with TS.
You have 16ex in gear, you better have no trouble running maps. You're gear isn't shit, it's absurd.
its more around 11ex since i crafted the boots and gloves myself, but nevermind.
In my opinion it seems you started playing after a break and looked for the most "OP oneshot shaper GG" build and found this here. Then you bought yourself a doomfletch and started playing. But instead of changing your gems (you still doesnt have updated any of it and went 4 more levels up since the last post) you blame the guide for OP items and not playable at all. In case you didnt notice, ahfack uses rares worth a mirror. OFC you cant get that without hours of work and weeks of farming.
So please, just check the low budget spoiler or read what other people suggested for people with less time/currency.
Well said. For example, I'm not even playing with optimal gear in all my new videos. I'm wearing:
No pen enchant on boots (you don't need mirrored boots if you don't want, just GOOD ones), multimodded ring with t2phys, no accuaracy/multi, and 2ex gloves to balance my wise oak. No gripped, not even a good enchant.
I changed my boots back to original implicit because there are lots of 10pen boots for mirror service and it seems people prefer to get these boots without the enchant for more res.

Have been doing quite a bit of tinkering and min maxing with new gears in abyss league. At first I was really pleased with shroud of the lightless- however, the crit nerf to doomfletch is very noticeable, and this item wasn't really solving the issues I was having with consistent crits. This issue can be solved with one single extremely broken item roll that comes on a few pieces of gear that were added into the game this league- this roll is "attacks have [x]% increased critical strike chance."
The first and most obvious place that we can get this roll is on high ilvl elder chest armors- in particular- the t1 "attacks have 1-1.5% increased critical strike chance" roll comes on elder chests of ilvl 84 or greater. With my particular gear atm, assassin's garb made the most sense- astral plate (it's also very expensive) is difficult to get to work if you don't have enough strength on jewelry and ass garb is the best evasion based chest we can get.
The way I originally interpreted this roll was that it would only give me 1-1.5% more critical strike chance. I don't know exactly how it scales- but to give you an idea- my mainhand crit chance goes from 26.85 to 34.21 with my current 1.37%- and a whopping 10% dps increase on path of building. Considering we are sacrificing one line on a piece of gear for this- it is more than worth it.
The next item is the watcher's eye-
Because we use hatred- we gain an additional large chunk of crit from using this unique jewel. This item is very expensive- around 9-10 exalts with the single hatred roll. When I put the jewel on- my crit chance goes from 34.21 to 43.39. This is another massive dps increase.
After changing these two pieces of gear- I really feel a lot better about my bossing damage. The consistency is just as good as doomfletch used to be, if not better. This will also allow you to drop crit strikes from your 6 link to go for more damage in the form of chance to bleed or maim- further boosting your dps.
YES! Great minds think alike. We actually cover the watchers eye jewel in the new video: https://youtu.be/pKRLRpUTJi0

@Ahfack, in terms of order, what would make more sense? getting 2 steelrings for more dps or trying to balacing oak?
It seems balancing should be my last thing to do, since you need to swap alot of items/jewels so that you get atleast 2 resistances on pair.
Well, in theory and in an ideal world, you should have all offensive/stat mods on your rings anyway. You should be able to balance your res completely with boots/belt/gloves/jewels.
Use your best judgement on what you have available and crunch some numbers

i crafted this costed me 3ex, i think its a good start.
I think i do the elemental resistance later, since my gloves and boots are not the worst thing for a random roll.
It just seems pretty hard to get exactly the same res on your stuff, i think removing all and starting from zero would be the best. otherwise its terrible to calculate. (atleast for me)
can someone give me some tips on how to improve further? i have 2 setups, one with abyssus + kaoms, weapon swap for mapping, and another (currently using) with lightpoucher + 6l rare chest, no weapon swap. with lightpoucher im at about 1m shaper dps, 4.2k hp on PoB; with abyssus + kaoms im about 1.1m shaper dps and 5.1k hp with. want to get to at least 2m+ shaper dps and 5.5-6kk life, not really sure how to proceed now. i plan to settle on one version and sell the other gears. thanks in advance.
also balancing wise oak is a pain, currently have 2 balanced

you could start with GCP'ing your lvl 20 gems and leveling them again.
I have 5.1k life with lightpoacher and shroud with similar gear to yours (rare quiver with +1 arrow) so it's probably a matter of tree as well.
€ one thing that strikes me is that you barely have any accuracy on your gear, what's your chance to hit? 75%?
