Having too much attack speed doesn't really affect your survivability. Zerphis scales from mana cost of frenzy * attacks per second. Your dps will suffer though.
In his case it doesn't matter how much recovery he had, a one shot is a one shot.

The interesting thing about it is though i have done countless kills of pheonix and uber and all of the rest of it and never have been 1 shotted i kill pheonix rather easily actually.There was no bad map mods i always triple check. He killed me very easily twice on the duelist build the 2nd time he killed me i left the same map open and switched the build back and went back in and killed him. His fire bombs barely scratched me i wasted him pretty quickly like i usually do.

With my build i have abit higher attack speed and AOE my attack speed with frenzy charges is 4.63 and have 20%CDR from my belt.

Duelist i would have had a little lower IAS and much lower aoe i didn't actually check what it was.

Also my fire res with duelist was waaay over capped. it is much lower with my build i always kill him with a ruby flask on the go aswell though.

So what do we reckon it was just the wrong attack speed?

@Shani If you go auras and get anger + herald + purity of ice for more damage I think you compensate for the loss of some of the damage nodes. Also 2 jewel sockets can grant you like 60% spell damage and some life on top of it. The loss of attack speed it whatever and can always be compensated even if you have max cdr. Damage isn't really a problem on this build I feel, maybe it is when you reach depth 600 or 700+ but the difference woudn't be huge anyway.

Just met Aul but at depth 327 only with mods like power charges attack speed and monster damage. Never lost some life it seems with 96% max cold resist.

@Shani Well I think that about 800 life difference and 2 jewel sockets are big for endgame. The damage loss wouldn't be 135% anyway (tbh I don't know how you calculated it because I don't see 135% fire /spell damage on ranger/shadow/witch path that we're missing. If you don't take the aura nodes you can just go to Celestial judgement which I think is the highest damage increase of all the damage nodes that are left. As I said, damage wouldn't even be an issue and if it is, only an indigon build can help you but the enchant on it is like 90-100 exalts.

Edit: Sorry for double post.

...Damn it. Chrome ate my post so you're getting a short version. -_-

You get most of it from stuff near Elemental Focus, Blast Radius, Explosive Impact, and Retribution.

Since Retribution and Light of Divinity are low-priority end nodes, you can drop their 29%increased and take two 6%life nodes instead, cancelling out the %life advantage in return for making the %increasedDamage difference smaller. With the same gear, I get something like a 183life difference after making those changes.

With the two jewel sockets, you're either stacking more life, or you're stacking more damage. With this build, as long as you're not getting 1-shot, you're fine, and compensating for the damage decrease is going to take some pretty fancy jewels.

I just really don't see what this alleged huge advantage to going around the lower left side is over the upper right is, unless you're aiming to go tri-Purity, which some (not all) of the posters that advocate it aren't. They look pretty close to me, with the upper right being somewhat easier but less flexible.
