I'm trying this in standard and also found the damage not quite living up to what the pob link in the op would suggest. With ~20m uber dps we should be obliterating regular eater or exarch, but we just aren't. Looking at how the pob is configured it's clear there are some dps warrior tactics going on here.

Particularly, the soul eater stacks setting which in the pob provided is set to a max of 55. This more than doubles the full dps with it set to 0. The problem is Soul Ascension only allows you to gain 2 stacks per second. So it would take almost 30 seconds of you (not your totems) hitting a rare or unique enemy nonstop to reach 55 stacks.

At the start of a fight you are significantly weaker with 0 stacks.

I'm a little skeptical we reliably reach 15 wither stacks as well with just Nature's Reprisal and how fragile the totems are, but not sure how to test this. This is another dubious bonus to your dps. Set it to something like 7 and your damage plummets once again.

It's still a fun build though and quite tanky.

I keep losing my dark marionettes. Super annoying!

Also they now take 4s to respawn. Thinking holy relic might be more consistent, but no auto re-summon... We need a better way to get Malevolence aura but I don't think there are any other options?

i had the same problem even with a pretty decent Lifeflask with like 190ish recovery for Minions, its super annoying.

so, i got myself an Wilma´s with Skill Gem Reservation Multiplier. Plus an lvl 4 Enlighten and an Eternal Struggle/Rare Amulet with 10% MRE enables u to get rid of that setup and just use Malevolence as an extra aura.

i can only encourage u guys to try it if u dont like the spectre/holy relic setup.

other than that the build works pretty well for T16 and all content, i just struggle with T17 juiced farmin cause the Totems die way to fast..

That actually sounds like good idea. Are you still running haste, purity of ice, and petrified blood? I just punched the numbers in pob, but it looks like I'd have only 41 unreserved mana with 10% (12 with fertile catalysts) efficiency on the amulet.

And because the mana efficiency mod on eternal struggle is eater of worlds you also lose the 15% culling strike the amulet gives to exarch dominance. I could get a lower tier like 9% (10 with catalysts) or 8% (9 with catalysts) but then I'd have even less unreserved mana. How much unreserved do you have with that setup?

I have to sacrifice a ring slot to get additional curse because standard league. So it probably works better for you guys that can get additional curse on your bow.
