Honestly even some map bossess. I'll replace the ring pronto and add some accuracy and see if it feels better.
I'll do my best Headtourist!
You haven't mentioned anything about survivability, so I'm assuming you're only here because damage is low. So, the first thing I think I would change out are some of your jewels/charms. Get some small jewels with fire/damage over time multi and ailments deal damage faster.
I would replace your affliction charms with ones that will actually contribute to DPS. Get a charm with inflicts ash on rare/unique and replace your Polaric Devastation. Get a ring with more fire DoT multi and accuracy (maybe chaos res) for a quick fix and replace it with a better ring later. If you're feeling real lazy, get a Pyre or The Taming for a quick DPS boost. Not bashing these rings (Anena is using The Taming), but for your build you have other things you need to improve before they can be as effective as they are for Anena.
Second charm could be banner skills have no reservation and now you can have defiance banner and precision (about level 12 by my PoB config) to help your accuracy. If you had to pick one, I would pick precision in your case because the banner is only adding 2% evade/phys reduction. If gem slots are an issue, the least useful one I can see is advanced traps, but I know that creates a mess with your links.
Speaking of links and previous suggestions from Headtourist, I think the flame surge link is agreed upon as one of the essential links for this build. Devouring Diadem allows for more flexibility with it in place of lifetap for all gems, but in your case it should still be worth it to sacrifice blood rage for a flame surge/brand/flammability setup.
Your Megalomaniac is adding almost nothing for you. I would respec those points into inc skill effect duration to get you up to your max fuses. You don't have the Damage Over Time Mastery above Elemental Overload. That may be a personal preference for clear speed, but it's not doing you any favors on bosses. Pick one of the other skill effect duration circles to get enough for max fuses. I played around too much with your char import so I can't remember exactly all the changes (plus alcohol XD), but if you increase your accuracy as pointed out earlier then you should need the Damage Over Time Mastery and 2x 10% increased Skill Duration Effect nodes to reach max fuses.
If you improve all those things you should be up to max fuses, BUTyou'll also need to get an EA gem with 20 qual! At max fuses, a 20/20 EA gem is stronger than a 21/0 EA, but obviously 21/20 is best.
I know you have a HH, but honestly this is not the build for making the best use of it. Even in the OP description with pros and cons it talks about potentially having to backtrack for drops during mapping, and HH is best for just blasting through everything and not having to turn back.
Thanks a ton to both you and Headtourist. I had enough cash to make some of the changes and it already feels a lot better. Working on Watcher's eye and fixing small gems now. Added precision and kept banner via a ring socket - not sure how I like that but it seems okay for now.
e:
I guess the big questions I have left is could I do something smarter with my links and what are the areas to go faster. Damage is a ton better!

Hello, thanks to all the great advice given in this thread, I have improved my character a lot and now mapping and killing bosses feels great even with some wisps added in t16 maps. The normal version of endgame bosses die pretty fast.
My question is, how much ignite DPS in pob is needed to take on ubers?
Since you went for Devouring diadem, empower instead of lifetap etc, you can take a look at Anena's current build (about 3 times your output against ubers) for inspiration : https://pobb.in/3lcbJjAU36wf
Thank you very much for Anena's PoB. I'm still struggling where the huge improvements regarding Ubers are coming from. Sure, I'm missing the +2 amulet, the charms and some damage jewels but are these 3 times damage worth? With Haste instead of Grace I'm very squishy :/
After some PoE Ninja studies I saw the "Doppelgänger Guise" version. Is it worth to give it a try in your opinion?
Regards
Saw that too but im too broke to try it out atm :( Also saw a Reddit post from one EA Balista Player using it while doing Uber Sirus and Simulacrum Wave 30... hope its ok to post it here?! If u are interested in trying it out ofc :) In the comments he said hes able to tank Sirus Meteor with Iron Reflexes taken. So it seems pretty tanky?
Edit 1! Forgot to say that this Build is so flexible! For example u can also tryout to get 3x reduced reservation charms and maybe run more Auras and get ur suppression elsewhere!

first of sorry if im mistaken. im newbie trying to learn this game.
my questions is:
outdated guide?
even if you copy build and convert to 3.23 hit chance is low because of losing enhanchments etc.
Hello new player from 2013.
First of, sorry if i'm mistaken, i'm trying to learn your game.
Do you mean that Brunowa should add obscurantis to the build so it has 97% hit chance on ubers while losing dps doing so ?
I'd also like to point out that from what i've seen here, you're the first in need of the weathered hunter/acc mastery nodes.
And you can't do better, with with your shiny gear and all ?
---
On a more serious note, seems variations can (and should) achieve better in current season, as always. Still the PoB is dot capped against pinnacle and about 12M against ubers "as is", without considering what you can get from charms or making your own path/upgrade decisions, as some people did and share in this very thread.
And in case behind this troll post you're really looking for ways to upgrade your build, Anena's currently sitting at 28M against ubers, using a devouring diadem and goodies from this league ( https://pobb.in/3lcbJjAU36wf )

With your current damage, you could see how it goes against uber cortex (should be the easiest unless you're very unlucky with the random modifiers).
Now ubers remain ubers... Even dot capped, problem would be survivability, experience with the fights...

I took a look, i don't like the fact the PoB seems to be manual...
It sounds interesting when it comes to surviving physical damage indeed.
Now i'm not sure it's worth it (unless you're indeed gonna wanna farm simulacrum, then you may want to try that if you're having a hard time currently)
Also the videos were picked, that's to be considered.
Now about physical tankiness, it's not just the chest armor and iron reflexes, there are a lot of physical taken as, reduced damage etc (PoB), and the active molten shell on uber sirus video (didn't really look at the simulacrum part).
It's very specialised in physical mitigation and i doubt it does that well against other ubers.

I'm weighing switching to devouring diadem - having a hard time rethinking my links. If I could get a little more reservation efficiency I could drop lifetap from one of the the arcanist brand setup but that's the only modification I can think of. I did score a pretty good That Which Was Taken that is similar to Anena's for quite cheap yesterday which freed up a charm slot.
Anena's DPS is a LOT higher than mine and even with a better amulet it doesn't get that much closer. Seems like more of it is from haste and empower.
PS. There a guide for crafting the bow?

Being able to replace lifetap with lvl4 empower on the ea setup sounds like a great deal, it's a real pro for DD, i suppose. But i haven't played it, can't really say more.
Bow :

Well I actually wrote everything there, cost included.
But this one costs about 2.5x more in essences on average as i stated there (according to craftofexile numbers)

It's very specialised in physical mitigation and i doubt it does that well against other ubers.
Im playing Divine Flesh Dopple and only have attempt Uber Maven and Eater, but both of them melted.
Switching to this with a significant survivability boost personally.
But you also seem to have unlimited currency (considering your really nice bow implicits and (foil) mb.
Without the mb -first 4 pots active- the survivability takes a big hit (49k ehp/11k phy max hit).
(still requires not getting hit by maven degen etc ofc, i don't mean to say you're on facepalm mode ahah)
What I meant in my previous post was : if you have the choice between going for more dps or more physical mitigation, it sounds to me like the output is "generally" more important : against things that won't deal a lot of phy, taking them out faster seems more interesting when it comes to survivability.
I may be wrong and i'm not an expert in bossing though, i only farmed u.maven and u.sirus (a bit of u.eater) with this build 2 leagues ago.
Ps : teach me how to farm this much currency :D
