am I missing something in terms of helmet or am I wrong in the following calculations?
40% inc minion damage (Bone Helmet) will lead to ~5% dps boost
+1 Arc Chain helm enchant will lead to 15% dps boost (more damage for remaining chain)

You are correct. +1 arc helmet will be a lot more expensive though.

//edit: wrong thread, lol

any ideas on what to upgrade next?

I will give a try:

Shimmeron
Mark of the Shaper
Essence Worm (elder version)
120% enchant on boots

I'd appreciate any advice on this. I'm not committing to spending multiple Ex to start min/maxing this, but I feel like there are opportunities I'm missing.

Couple questions:
-Why are people so focused on the rare crit body armour? When I plugged some of your profile armours in PoB I got <1% DPS increase, but gave up a lot of survivability from the loreweave.
-Guide mentions the Maligaro's gloves and Marylene's amulet, but almost everyone I see is using rares instead. Should I be replacing these?
-Overall my life is low (3.7k), but I don't see any easy swaps where I'm not giving up 5-10% overall DPS. Any specific gear advice?

So Poe Trade macro says this wand is worth:
2.79 - 4.19 exalt


Wtf! Is this value for the wand correct or way off. I found the wand as is, so that would be crazy if it's worth the above value. I feel like it's way off.

Check the opening post; it details that picking up the Spiritual Aid passive node allows "increases to Minion damage and reductions also apply to you." That's why we pick up minion nodes, and that's why a Bone Helmet works for the build.

I haven't made another character or build just yet, but I comfortably stumbled upwards to level 85 with a little under 1ex investment earlier in the league; I upgraded and have put roughly 3ex total into all my gear the closer I got to level 90. You don't have to focus too much on the investment cost since the moment you get into endgame + maps, currency starts getting thrown at you. Also, as the league is several weeks in, there's a plethora of affordable equipment that will easily carry you into the 90s.

I cannot speak much on the body armor as I'm using a Soul Mantle, but I can say that the choice for Maligaro's glove and Marylene's amulet are for cheap, affordable stats; the gloves give decent crit and the amulet is a cheap method to give your crits Culling Strike. As far as I know, that's basically it. If you want to invest a bit more chaos into the build, getting a better set of gloves for your resistances is a good idea and swapping the amulet for whatever stat you're missing is also a fine decision.

The Culling Strike matters less when you're doing fat damages and landing crits on the regular as you'll usually blow through mobs anyway. At least, that's how I see it.
