[3.19 LSR] - Uber content with 1.8M DPS Build is nope or very very sweaty ?

Hi everyone,

I'm playing Lightning Strike Raider, my build is a combination of ideas i saw other people doing.

It focuses mainly on offense but doesn't shy away too much from some of the main defensive layers :

Base armor : 12k (19k w/ flask)
Base evasion: 22k (32k w/ flask)
Base Life : 3.5k (low)
Ele res : ++ 75% (overcapped)
Chaos res : -40% (cant do much better)
Total DPS : 1.835.447 (as displayed by pob w/o onslaught)

Active auras : Anger (20), Determination (20), Defiance Banner (21), Precision (18), Aspect of the cat (20)

TBN : I'm running a 7L on Vaal LS with AALD (*1) - AEDWAST (**1) (20) - Multistrike (20) - Inspiration (20) - Trinity (20) - Nightblade (20)

So there is still room for DMG increase with the growth of the awakened gems to MAX and maybe the final acquisition of the somewhat expensive awakened multistrike. (could fund an entire bosser build)

* AALD = Awakened Added Lightning Damage
** AEDWAST = Awakened Elemental Damage With Attacks Support

Now this build is frustrating because while being extremely fast and powerful (can clear T16 +120% quant in under 2 min), it also dies a whole lot.

It can clear normal exarch/eater in about 1.5/2 min as well.

I would like to get some ideas about how i could modify this build, or even if it's possible in the first play, to tackle the ubers which is synonym with one shot for me at the moment.

Obviously the biggest problem is the HP which is about 1.5/2k short for this sort of content, the chaos res isn't necessarily a bad thing for some of the fights but it could be a + to have it set to 0 at least.

The issue is that no matter where i look on the tree and in my gear, there just doesn't seem to be any free spot aside from the 2 rings, that i swap from the clearing setup : mark of the elder + shaper diamond ring to some regular rings to provide more HP and some chaos res.

But we're looking at best, at 200/300 more hp and maybe -10/0% chaos res, which is far from even getting close to solving the issue of fragility this build suffers from.

I'm starting to believe that my best bet would be to create a new character specifically made for bossing, but in a last attempt to find somebody that might have faced similar issue on this build, i wanted to share this before moving on.

Thank you for your time,

i mean thats about as far as starter LS goes.
next step forward is either int stacking if you wanna be hella tanky
armor stacking on champ if you wanna be even tankier
or doriyanis prototype if you wanna just melt things before they can kill you.

I am in the same boat as you. Started a LS champion, which is actually quite tanky, but I think I would lack some DPS for uber bosses.

I just finished my atlas en will start doing some bosses this weekend. I will see how this champion does on the bosses.

If you know the fights well enough I think you can manage with lower DPS, but nuking an uberboss is the best though since they spit out so much BS attacks.
