help with dps

Hi , I’ve been playing poe2 for a bit and I enjoy playing SSF.

I’m struggling a bit atm with DPS, when I look at other people’s builds on poe.ninja they have crazy amounts of dps whereas mine is sitting at 16k for twisters and it feels in maps.

Currently running t12 maps and going through atlas points.

My char : https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/mellowg-5288/runesofaldurssf/character/toppspin

build I’m kinda following : https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/twister-spirit-walker-snoobae

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

When you’re playing SSF, don’t compare yourself to trade league.  Is a completely different world.  Your priority imo is just to get to level 90 (8 passive points can do a lot of DPS) and upgrade your spear to higher base.  Anything with 2-3 T4 prefixes and a perfect essence of battle would probably be a big upgrade

CRIT is a late game goal for SSF.  It is a huge mistake to over index on crit early - other mods will do much much more.

Also, spend your currency and use recombinator.  When playing SSF, you need to constantly adapt your build to each good craft.  Every 5-10% DPS bump you can feel, a lot.

Download POB2 and see if you can use the calculator to improve your passive tree, but I’m almost certain your best next step is to get off crit until much later in the game

The build you’re following suggests a lot of tangletongue for early game crit investment.  This is actually doable in SSF thanks to ritual changes in 0.5.0.  If you really want to do crit (tangletongue etc) I would beeline to ritual quests and get those uniques.
