CwC Cyclone + Ball Lightning Sprinkler, need some halps

A few leagues ago, I started rolling various classes/ascensions for Sire of Shards, spewing Ball Lightnings, switching to an Agnerod West in the same setup for bossing. Overall, I have been able to get it to 2.4m to 2.76m shaper dps. (variance from flasks)

I do have a HoT as the main contributer for bossing, as the BL is doing 880k dps for the overall 16 ticks from the slowed balls being everywhere. The Storm Secret and Crest of Desire get the HoT to drill the boss for 1.8mdps.

I self damage cwdt my exposure and blind.

I am wondering how important would it be to push for more sadist? Since I do all 3 ele ailments, the sadist should be giving 60% increased damage each. I am thinking as a longer term build/goal, using voices instead of larges, and roll megalomaniacs with sadist at least, in the pool of abilities. With 2 voices, each with a sadist medium, that brings 360% increased ele damage. I know, not multiple. I did not find much room/space/value out of dropping some dps to get some more multiplier. In the end, I was losing some defenses to get 3mdps. Even in a 6 sadist config, I am low evade, low hp, and only scratching 3mdps.

I wouldn't mind the dps staying around 2.5m dps, however, there are bosses where that is not enough to get past their regen. I don't fight them because of this. Other bosses, my evade fails and I get one shotted.

The goal for the build is more about the playstyle than anything. Spinning, sprinklering, exploding mobs in mapping and not having to really change to do bossing (skill swap). I would prefer to do something like weapon swap and have that be my bossing. With the West staff, the same setup in the pob is reporting 3.97m dps.

I have on standard a variety of characters to test with. I am thinking I may roll https://pastebin.com/ZtZe6rPi (or thereabouts). The extra slow ball lightnings will be in their dot range longer, upping the overall ticks to a target to 21. Same dps there, pretty much, as the ele.

Any help is appreciated.

I have been able to drop a smaller amount of dps and get my evade into the 80's. When the flask is up and vaal grace is on, I cap evade to 95. Of course, this is PoB accuracy, without any mods to make the mob's accuracy higher.

Down the road, I am thinking of ditching the crest of desire aspect entirely and focusing on getting more from the cwc ball lightning. I can have less tree points used up for more exalts, buying the voices and megalomaniacs for triple or more sadists. Also can drop the split personalities if I put points to the evasion bundles on the way to things that slow ball lightning down more.

Looks like the slowest ball lightning can get is .48 of its normal speed. I counted 8 castings in the AOE of their ticks and they each get 10 ticks off unless the target is closer, then they each get 12 (over 3 seconds). I figure 3 of the 4 ticks per second is a good average for each casting. And 7 of the 8 castings, I figure, are doing work. So 21 ticks, on average, at all times, to anything on screen. there are small bands near the edge, where the aoe doesn't reach. I generally use sire + helm enchant to have that filled in. Or lesser multiple projectiles. If I roll deadeye, I don't need the enchant, as the ascension fills that in.

Running elementalist, if I use herald of ash, gen warcry, inpulsa, and ele prolif, I should get good mapping. Then I could swap the gloves for command of the pit, so I am always surging.

Did some tinkering more and I am aiming for https://pastebin.com/cpsKhALf

Has 2,8m shaper dps, pretty consistant 31k evade and 90% spell supression chance. Gear is vital and more rares than I usually roll.

My paltry 2.5mdps must have been too much for GGG :D 30% less on CwC is pretty rough.
