*Updated for 3.2* Volkuur's poison! millions of dps (7.5 mil shaper - 20 mil shaper GG gear)

I dunno why you see lower DPS on my PoB build - isn't enough to put enemy:Shaper in the setting? I wrote here the values that PoB report to me with effective DPS and selecting shaped as monster.
You are right about the flasks: I will never have the flask recovery capabilites of your pathfinder. But
If 3 mil DPS will be real in the case when everything is active, the point will be the timing: when switching on a +15% flask duration belt, that I think is needed on tough bosses, my flask will last 7x2 sec. If I will produce 3 mil DPS for 14 sec, this will be enough to kill him. The frenzy charges can be produced during shaper trash monster phase: flasks should be used just after this phase.
I think that shaper is doable, I'll let you know in few days! ;)

hmm when i open your pob link, it shows me 2,827 mil trash mob dps fully buffed (charges, flasks, wither, onslaught) and no shaper selected. i cant see the 7,6 mil you are talking about? is the url wrong? or could you post a screenshot of your pob setup?

You are right man, I mis-calculated the poison DPS, looking at final damage per poison per stack, instead of looking at each poison stack DPS - I'm sitting at 1.4 mil DPS shaper as you said.
Looking deeply in the differences between our setup, I see that you are using several T1 flat lightning on jewels(some with 4 offensive bonuses), while I'm stuck on T2 bonuses. I miss +1 barrage enchant(difficult to obtain on eber unification), +1 additional arrow on quiver (much easier), and i'm not using vinktar flask, witch I could add putting shock immunity on quicksilver flask. Finally, I'm missing 1-160 lightning damage on boots. I can suppose that if I would have all those gear pieces, our damage should be comparable.
Edit: always taking into account that I can run vinktar flask 1 time, while you can probably sustain it - pathfinder is too much OP on this :D so I'm referring to maximum output DPS: pathfinder can sustain much more its peak dps.

Thinking about that more, I see you are going with a full glass cannon setup, without life flask and without bleeding removal!
Well, an ES-based character with glass cannon attitude can be built as well, and I think pathfinder would be a superior choice. I'll end up at 6.5k ES with trickster. Following the very same skill tree, but choosing pathfinder, would lead me to 5.5k ES more or less, and I would enjoy all the goodies of being a pathfinder. Can you sustain perma vinktar flask without being crit based?

does the build achieve the 300dex 150int for dendro? if so, by when approximately?

Did you look at PoB? It archieves it easily if you take the logical nodes before Dendro level (eg EO).

i have 2 setups, 1 for mapping (tanky, 5k hp, 1,75k mana with no reservation- so 6,75k ehp. i dont use vinktars but a bleed removal flask there) and 1 for shaper ( glasscannon, wrath, 4,6k hp) for maximum dps including attacks vinktar.
if i would equip vinktars during mapping, i have 100% uptime on that flask, but i just dont need it because dmg is overkill anyway and i really need bleed removal. on shaper fights i have 100% vinktar uptime just due to the fact that shaper dies within 1 vinktar's use lol.


you have a lot of room to upgrade your gear, so it may be possible that you reach comparable numbers! waiting for an update :)

only had my phone when I asked myself the question. now I'm on my PC and yes it's logical :)
Thanks for your answer!

Im thinking about respecing into this build from my raider.
The current build works quite good right now, but it seems like your setup is the same just with alot of dmg improvement. Im relatively new to the game began last month so my judgement may not be the best so far :)
Yet im not sure how to make the transition with an order of things i need.

You can see my current char in my profile. Any tips there?
Abnd heres my PoB: https://pastebin.com/hkV0pf91
I guess i have to begin with a 6 Link dendo and the gloves.
Right now i can respec everything i need with minor costs.

you will need other jewels for this build to work. considering this build currently has a lot of succes, you might have to put some serious currency ( 30-50c each jewel) into it. jewels+volkuur's are most important, get them before a 6L.
