For your information you need +12/+13% overcaps for elemental weakness T16.
If you have good jewel with 40-45% total res, darkness Enthroned belt can give 140%-150% total res.
Do you have 75% block spell ? I think you can use Elgant hubris without loosing too much only close to "quick recovery" node.
For res, medium and large cluster can have minor node with +3% all res
On your Pob you take singular focus for 7 skill points... 80% minions damage for 7 skill point is not good. I think the best for you is respec top right medium cluster and use large cluster (rotten claw+raze and pillage+call to the slaughter) + inside your 2 medium cluster (and small cluster if needed) like this :



Elegant Hubris is good for damage but it can be hard to balance block spell / res / ES / armour. Without hubris i already have +296% minions damage and 480% for Hop.
Hubris with 2 node 80% give 160%, but need to loose 45% from fortress covenant and 6 skill point (if 3 skill use for each), 6 skill point = 60-90% minions damage.

8% mana vs 16% armour it's why everyone take left
You can save 2 skill point by taking off resolute technique, already between 90/95% chance to hit with the shapper's touch.

Loving the build so far. Tanky and good damage. Wondering where I can go from here. Around 5.9 Full Dps and very safe. POB below

+1 or +2 duration chest I guess
Maybe Divine my rings for more damage?
Id love to fit in a Will Shaper cluster in that bottom jewel socket but options are pretty sparse for passive points. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

- For the chest yes, +2 for hop.
- Divine ring only for 20% reservation if you have good implicit.
- Predator on hop give +51% more damage.
- Awakened multistrike can be good too but expensive.
- Ravenous horde is a good boost for minions.
- You can save skill point by not taking discord of artisan, sovereignty node not activate ?
- Watcher's eye with 10% maximum mana as extra ES.

-Got the chest 7mil dps now
-Don't need 20% reservation on both 19% is fine. Was mostly talking about sent dam
-Predator on HOP takes off impale which is only a 125k difference and coloring makes a 8ex chest into a 30ex+ chest
-I switch from Awakened Melee splash to awakened Minion Damage for bosses (2ex instead of 32ex and only 100k diff)
-Discord Artisan gives more red reservation for HOP, SOV is not needed if you have HOP Red Res Enchant
-Ravenous Horde is good but the Damage of a Large cluster like i have is pretty much the same and saves passive points which allows for gravepact(+1mil)
-Those watchers eye's aren't really necessary 8k es is more than enough to tank anything and I prefer a Molten Shell setup

So in short nothing really worth upgrading unless I want to sink 60ex into a build for 200-250k more damage lol Ill throw some divines at rings and see if I can get over 90% damage for sentinels as that is a pretty hefty buff(150k+ increase from 80%-95+%)

How is maim activated in your helm?

I'm at 52,5k armour and 6,5 ES and I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Can anyone have a look?
