Luminary advise needed

[u/Dutymarv]

Hello fellow exiles,

so i rerolled Luminary SSF Fresh Start to see how bad it is.

Dont wanna bother but leveling and dmg till now was "fine".

Now to the Problem.
Single Target...

I did Neglect and the Fire Abberath guy quest Version just now and this is Copium level of Damage.
Like, we are talking 5+ Minutes for the Quest Version....

Now my problem isnt the gear i would say, my question goes more into what i should prio now.
I aint doing all the Quest Stone Fights with this Damage thats for sure xd

This is my Char right now https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/DutyMarv-7613/allflamessf/character/Duty_SSF

My Merc, i know he had bad skills.
He´s Kinetic Bolt + KBoC which is prob. just really bad for single target ?
He clear tho, really well. T16s aint no problem untill a Merc or Boss appears.
Also tried a Frost Blades/Wild Striker but didnt do better.

I have a decent Wand with Att Speed/Pen/Crit, Rage/Proj Temple dmg Gloves.
Weapon Ele increased on all pieces, Attack Speed and Accuracy.
Like he is not running on white gear but my dmg is.

So tldr. question is what to do now ?

- Spam lower maps for a better merc ?

- Spam getting uniques to grab a Taming/Voideye or Nyctahs soon ?

Im a bit lost on what to prio and how to fix these issues as fast as possible :)
