Oleron relic lacks internal trauma and Blitz is long CD skill, so more trauma can help. Also will be helpful if you can farm piece of jewelry with Gildam Arcanum Suffix. For life steal complete Scales devotion and put Restless remains on gloves. That will free your weapon augments slots for either double Seal of Might or 1x Might+1x shield dedicated component. If you like to use Cadence, you can put a point in Fighting Form for extra targets.

I agree, more Internal Trauma and cooldown reduction would help. I could try using Righteous Fervor instead of Cadence because of the huge bonus for Internal Trauma damage from Retribution. But at least on GrimTools when making that change the damage numbers are much worse. I also tried hardcapping Oleron’s Rage instead of Deadly Momentum but the damage is still worse.

I could try sacrificing some Elemental Resistance and replace the Arcanum Dust augment with Heart of Ugdenbug on one of more pieces of jewlery but I’m not confident it’s a worth giving up the Elemental Resistances and DA.

I’m still farming equipment for this character and I’m sure I can insert some “of the Gildam Arcanum” somewhere. Just a matter of time and luck. Right now it seems like better equipment would be the best way to improve this build even further.

I was actually thinking about going with no lifesteal at all with 2 x Seal of Might, since this build currently has only 5% ADCtH and it can heal on attack, on block, and when hit.

However, Whirling Blades can proc skills like Oleron’s Wrath, Venom of the Black Matriarch, and Mark of the Blade, so it looks like it would be a trade-off to replace Seal of Blades for anything else.

Also, to complete Ulcama I’d have to give up Viper and 3 points in Shieldmaiden in order to get Sailor’s Guide, which would reduce my Internal Damage by 8% without making my char that much tankier. Of course, there could be a better devotion setup for different purposes. My path is very defensive. It’s perfectly possible to use Shifting Sand or even Blind Fury if you’re not willing to go past SR 66.

You can check my Markovian guide for ideas:

Since both Blitz and the set were buffed I would go now much more Blitz oriented.

I strongly advise you against going without life steal. Even 5% is is making huge difference.

Cadence vs RF is tough decision. Deadly Momentum will boost Blitz but RF grants attack speed, DA and armor. Also will not override your Shattering Smash unlike Cadence.
