I should have retired this build last league tbh, but didn't. I kept it around in case people want to still play it. The build is not as good as it used to be (relatively), the game is much harder and far stronger builds exist. There is no reason to play this build when you can play others and clear content much more easily. I feel like the build at the moment is way too much effort for very mediocre results. People want deathless AW8, T16 double beyond fast clearspeed. This build is not that anymore. The recovery isn't enough, the damage isn't enough. It's just good for comfy mapping.

Do you mean Pob dps? It's 140k, but you can easily get it to 200k with cluster jewels/conqueror mods.

Ok, I'm testing only for fun and getting 400k dps(PoB) from death aura, buffed ofc. But this dps is better with blight cwc ed or soulrend. For now I'm chose ED + 10% poison from jewels and its working well

But yeah, boss is painful. with aw6+ is really hard, to this I'm using my cyclone or RF jugg, but for run maps and see all blow up around you, this build keep working very well. I'm lvl 89 now and runing delve 81/83 or maps t14/t15 really fast.

Mind sharing your pastebin? I've been playing around in POB and only getting about half that number of Shaper DPS. I'd love to see what you're up to.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that when I saw the Death's Oath armor, I really wanted to try it and I found your guide. This is the first league I'm playing in for real (started with Blight but got bored with the game), and I got through a lot following your guide and it's sad to see that you retired it! I'm playing it decently I think right now, and as a mapper it's definitely amazing. Bosses on the other hand can be a pain. But so far been comfortably farming t14-t16 maps, and had fun playing around the cluster jewels. I've dropped maybe 20 ex on this build and it so far has been good enough for me. Just wanted to express my thanks for making me get far with this build!

Did someone ask you why you don't use a bow?

Get Soul Strike Quiver, Craft +3 bow for Caustic Arrow and another one for weapon swap Essence Drain.

Boss fight:
cast ED, swap CA and run. much much better boss damage, better survivability. get flesh and stone and +% evasion&es from shadow.
use grace, malevolence, aspect crab, flesh and stone, low clarity, discipline = roll Discipline & Grace reduced reservation jewels (not so difficult) x2.
Gloves: your choice
boots: your choice
Belt: your coice
Armor: DO
Amulet: auls uprising, blight well
rings: your choice
helmet: your choice
weapon: crafted +3 bow with 40% chaos damage over time multi x2
quiver: soul strike

I upgraded it because it runs so good and now its super good, doesn't need the large cluster but needs watchers eye with faster start of recharge

you can amulet swap to blight well, you can armor swap to ES regalia.

DO is core for mapping here, not for bossing because of its very low damage.
