Even with overshock, my damage is still low, would buying a 12ex or 40-50 ex minion helm be a good idea?

I checked your POB:

1. you didnt have Vaal haste enabled, Kay does
2. You play with Hypotermia insteed of ele focus
3. If i Import your gear/tree into the tree of Kay and switch Ele focus for Hypo you are at ~3m which seems right for your gear.

Bone Helmet:
Imho its only worth if you have better dmg. The purpose of it is to clear faster with either fork or chain. Then switch gems for bosses.

You should upgrade your ring for a decent dmg upgrade. Also craft an offering Body before considering switching to a 6l Helmet.

I use Hypo because I rolled Vorci sockets on my chest, and rolled the wrong colors for ele focus. I just want to find the biggest dps upgrade I can grab atm.

Also which ring, minion dmg+Frostbite? A chest with the proper rolls for extra curses is 30ex.

Is it worth to change one of my jewels from tree to Unedning Hunger now? I used this second week of season and sold after few days. Now with much more dmg I wondering if it's worth to play on juiced maps and swap for something else on Sirus fight. Also it's half cheaper right now, what are your thoughts?

Not a day goes by without someone asking how to make this build more tanky or help them from dying so much. Once I leveled to 94, I was also dying enough to not be able to level further without playing extremely careful and not having fun.

Spoiler

The answer to your problem is Enduring Cry. It is broken and will be nerfed by GGG in 3.12. You should use it now if you want significant more survivability in any Necro or caster build.

I have now leveled from 94 to 96 (close to 97) with no deaths including a Sirus and multiple Elder/Shaper fights. I've tanked a Die beam from Sirus and can face tank Chimera in the dust clouds with no problems.

Started out using Enduring Cry on my Gloves linked to Dash, Second Wind, and Convocation. The Second Wind would allow back to back casts to build Endurance charges quickly. Dash in mobs, then Enduring Cry + Convocation. This works well.

I began with using 3 Endurance charges, then learning if 3 is good 5 is way better. Pathing down to Call to Arms and binding Enduring Cry to Left Mouse click makes it an even better experience, but almost boring.

Switch from "CWDT + Steelskin" to "CWDT + Immortal Call" for even more tankiness. It is significant with the 5 Endurance charges and has great synergy. The combo is truly broken. I can run through juiced T16 maps with Mouse only, no need to cast Flask or Skills in most cases unless super juiced and bad mods.

Running Bone Barrier and Life Recovery on Block shield for mapping, but if I plug in my numbers into POB with Flesh and all skill points I am still over 6 mil DPS with significant more tankiness (ie NOT glass cannon). I was able to retain DPS by using Ghastly Eye jewels in place of Small clusters without sacrificing much life. I still have 6500 HP, but had under 6000 when I first started using Enduring Cry. To be honest I can now remove HP to pick back up DPS without issue if I wanted.

The belt was a very recent addition and not required at all. The build changes and Enduring Cry works great or even better when linked to Second Wind. If you go with 5 Endurance charges then using the same cluster slots from Kay's guide is best. If you chose to go with only 3 or 4 Endurance charges then pathing down to the bottom cluster when picking up Call to Arms instead of the left cluster will save a couple of points overall.

Sorry for the long essay, but I want to give payback to Kay and all the help I received from this thread.
