Ok guys. I'm looking for some input. I'm at a crossroads. I'm not entirely sure where to go / what to do with my build.
My tooltip DPS "feels" low. I'm at ~1500 Tooltip DPS on both my Single Target, and LMP'd ST. (The single target has some utility on it, instead of DPS). I feel like I'm at a pretty good place with my HP, I know I want to get some more armor, but I'm just not sure what / where to go from here.
My Current Build
I'm pretty happy with it. I don't have a ton of armor, but with Determination running, I'm currently just over 3k. Armor really, is just for a I'm getting overrun, and hey, I can pop my Granite, and this helps me live type thing. i'm not expecting this char to facetank like my marauder.
I am at 3k HP right now (2997), and I'm not even sporting Life on every piece yet.
My Tool Tip DPS "looks" low, but I'm not having problems killing anything... yet.
I have my.... here to 'Kill Piety' points mapped out. it should be a total of 5, by the time I kill her and get the reward.
level 68 and piety dead
This, is where I hit my crossroads. I feel like I "should" worry more about my DPS. I have a pretty bitchin' 2h'er, right now (383.64 DPS) So, weapon upgrades are going to start coming slower, and slower. I know that I'll be able to eek more out of my gear, since it is by no means end game gear.
I'm also not 100% sold that I have enough HP nodes in my tree yet.
At this point, My next goal, will be ~70, and Dominus dead. 2 more points between now and then. Ok, what do I do? I'm currently thinking
level 70 That addresses some more of my HP problems, as well as some more DPS. That will be a total addition of 10% HP, and ~120 DPS as current gains in the build look. That's not bad. I should be ok with that.
But from there? I'm really sort of at a loss. I could pick up Skull Cracking (another 24% Damage increase, as well as more Stun Threshold Reduction. That's on my short list)
But, I'm left thinking that my HP is really my "thing" for defense. I feel like I need more. I'm not sure if I do, but I'm nervous that I do. There is 52% + 16 sitting readily available at my fingertips over the course of 7 passives. At which point, I could really start kicking the train into high gear, and going for the Regen Nodes nearby. But again, I'm not really sure. I could start into the 'rauder starting area, and pick up more HP, resists, Armor, and Regen. BUt that's going to be a rather large expenditure of points to see "notable gains", and would carry me into the high 80's, where points come.... slow to be polite about it.
So, really, any and all help that you wish to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and if you are curious what I'm currently wearing:
