Help me.. I’m struggling to find why my single target dps feels low. My clear is amazing, but single target on even a t15 boss feels terrible. I swapped over from a shaman minion build to this current oracle build.
I’ve only got about 40 div to spare at the moment if it requires an upgrade to gear..

I'm a shaman. I use flame breath with cast on elemental ailments. Triggers like a machine gun with whatever spell you want to use. Single target bosses melt.
So I'm not an expert, but I'll try. TLDR: I'd look up a wyvern or wolf guide and adjust your build.
Attack build with only one source of added flat damage on rings. Both %increased cold damage and %increased lightning damage on your rings. Your build's already confused on what it's scaling.
The first rend is building combo and living lightning, which get you power charges with pounce, but I'm not sure what the living lightning is for. PoB says they're doing 168.8dps and since you dont have chaos inoculation they can't be used for minion pact cause they only have 1hp and need 150% of you're hp.
Second rend looks like your highest dps for single target, but it's linked to Ancestral Call, Ambush, and increased aoe so it's only good once every three seconds and against groups of enemies with full hp?
You're stacking cooldown recovery but not using Lunar blessing like wolf builds. What are you using all this increased cooldown for? Just pounce?
Flame breath converts %100 of your weapon physical damage to fire and only does 116% of weapon damage as base, compared to rends 343%. Right now the ignite portion of flame breath is doing 9dps without any added from bhatirs. Oil barrage might be a better finisher at %250 weapon damage. You've only got 23.55% crit chance, so each time it re-rolls you're losing critical damage. It looks like you're trying to stack % added damage from bhatirs vengeance and blazing critical. You're adding all these more damage sources to relatively small hit and your bhatirs+blazing might be falling off before getting to the boss. If the boss has any elemental resistance they'll reduce your damage even more.

Just put oil barrage on weapon swap, ang get some powe charges. It annihilates any possible single target in game.
Edit: if you're still using non-unique mana flask, take one with max possible charges and use Ambrosia support gem. Thats 40-45% multiplier for free.
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
