The trouble with the DPS. I'm doing a build poe. But the damage does not rise above 8k. You can see what's done wrong.

Witch Level 88

What do you mean 8k damage? In PoB cyclone dps of your golem is 200k.
1) Your ice golem isn't max lvl
2) Empower 3 lvl is awful choice in your setup, only about 18% damage, use fortify, it will grant you twice as much.
Empower is good only because single level is so much difference, and therefore "+1 to support gems" on chest, and corruption to 4 lvl, make it ultimate choice with 50% MORE damage, and same ammount of health. If you don't have both of those expensive things - don't even think about it.
3) Multistrike is a dark horse right now. Nobody knows if it even works with AI of minions. If they start new attack separately from the previous, there is a chance that multistrike not only not provide any DPS increase, but rather decreasing it overall.
4) Vulnerability is too low level. There is no reason to not level that gem, so i don't know why it's still 9 lvl. I guess there is no such difference between 34% and 39%, but still.
5) You don't have gloves with accuracy for minions. If you don't use those, you should use "precision aura" instead, together with "war banner".
6) You are short of entire 3 jewel sockets. That's a big deal for that build.

Can i ask why use a stone golem skill gem when the weapon already grants the skill. Wouldn't summoning a fire golem instead with its buff grant more damage? Or is it not worth it with one less ice golem? If so, is it better to replace stone golem with fire golem? Is the life regen buff that important?

1) We aren't that strained on gem slots, our choice of golem was never about "can we fit that skill gem or not?". Also, stone golem skill on weapon is 12 lvl, and will die to any damage possible. Higher level, higher survivability, exponentially. Also, lower lvl stone golem provides exponentially lesser buff, which is a huge deal too. Just think of it as garbage skill, which have only 1 reason of existence - fuck up with you while you trying to resummon stone golem and accidentally use that version, instead of useful one.
2) No, fire golem boosting only our own damage, but not golem/minion damage. Flame golem buff for us absolutely useless.
3) It's kind of still worth it instead of one ice golem. Additional damage of ours primordial harmony (for additional type) will make overall DPS almost the same (slightly less, but not that much). So yeah, you kind of can use 5+1+1+1+1 golems, but the only positive side of it is ignite immunity. All the others would be "slightly lesser damage", "more support golems to summon and keep track of", "1 less support gem for our support golems (either minion life or empower, so 1.5 times less survivability for them), "less attacking minions to spread around", etc
Mostly just not worth it
4) Yes, stone golem is one of the most usefull buff for us, together with chaos golem. Our ascendancy provides us huge "increased effect" of those buffs, and we get some from primordial jewels as well. In the end, those buff are about 4 times more effective than normal.
With that, just having stone golem provides us about of 10% of max life per second, which is HUGE life regen. And chaos golem by himself provides us 20% additional phys damage reduction, which is almost like fortify against phys attack, also HUGE.
