A quiver with good "Damage over Time Multiplier", "Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier" and "Attack speed" is better constant DPS than a quiver with "Frenzy Charges gained".

Not against bosses w/o constant adds. And that's the whole point. It gives 12% damage and 12% IAS with 3 frenzy charges. 16/16 if you have corrupted implicit gloves.
You drop 1 other suffix on the Quiver for way better bossing. Trash dps shouldn't be a problem anyways.

I feel like my char is not dealing nearly as much damage as i would want to. What do i need to change? gear? skills? mostly on bosses tho @ awakener lvl 5

Honestly, the best thing I could do was not caring about the frenzy on the quiver any more. In my experience there were 10x better options on the market if you did not care about the frenzy generation on a rare quiver.
Also, why would you even need that? I killed Sirus 20+ times and every other boss as well and they all melt. No boss has a chance anyways once you have end game gear. And when I swapped the quiver I didnt even realise any of the frenzy generation was missing.

Crit multi seems to be a forgotten stat. A good crit multi roll of ~35% gives you 14% damage over time multiplier on crits. It may not seem like much but with good crit chance it is very noticeable.

Hi, can anyone help me out? I cant seem to understand how to calculate effective DPS... PoB says little over 1m, what should I add to it? https://pastebin.com/CULhX9NH
Also, what items should I upgrade next? got 7ex right now. Items in spoiler below.

Can someone suggest fixes for my build? I have 6.3k life, but seem to die a lot on t15+ bosses and metamorphs. Damage just seems too low at the upper red maps. Clearing is fine, its just the single target. Character is Scourge_Shark
Thank you.

Here are my three suggestions:

1. Looks like you are massively over capped in elemental resistances and you're using cleansed thoughts and the circle of nostalgia to augment your chaos resistance. It is probably better to get some chaos resist on other items and then use a + chaos damage circle of nostalgia along with anointing your necklace with dirty techniques.



2. You're using the siege ballista which the OP recently suggested changing back to wither totems. Although they add dps, 15 wither stacks on a boss will massively increase your dps on a boss (more than the dps from the ballista). The only way I could get siege ballista to work with wither stacks was to get a corrupted node with +chaos damage +25% chance to wither on hit.

3. Self-cast despair needs to be up all the time, might be worth switching to an impresence to provide a despair aura rather than trying to self-cast or having it fall off bosses. It provides chaos resist too :)



Edit:

Adding a 4th suggestion:

I would take some of the 4% life points you have spent around Thick Skin, and some around the life wheel and dedicate them to Method to the Madness on your skill tree. This 4 point node is giving me over 850k dps right now not to mention chaos resist.

You can probably grab some better jewels too (+ Life, + Resist, + Poison Dam, + Attack Speed with Bow, etc.).

Would you consider these boots for the build?

Hey its the same boots I use. Doings maps in a minute and stuff. Unfortunately from what I see here the majority use them just for resistance instead of unlocking their true potential.

I use Tailwind + Faster poison ones on my Darkscorn setup, but I skipped elusive because 10% chance on crit is a bit too unreliable imo (and faster poisons + elusive + tailwind would cost fortune :d)
