Hey i came back recently after playing on release of forgotten gods.
I had a smooth sailing all the way until around level 92 but even back then after those levels i already started to die frequently(mostly on the rouge like dungeons which i was unable to clear).
now i came back and finished leveling to 100 and apparently ret builds were nerfed since release and now it takes much longer to clear even normal world bosses.
would like some advice on how to optimize my build or even completely change it because it was my first character and im not that good at the game yet.
also what would be the best way of farming legendaries at this point,considering i can’t push to 100 on crucible and the only rougelike i was able to clear was steps of torment and i still haven’t tested if i can do it after the nerf.

Looks like a mess. Multiple damage types, almost no resistance reductions and so on.
Remember that retaliation damage can be converted, so your shield will convert chunk of physical retal to elemental for instance.
Upgrade your gear: you still have level 50 Totally normal shield, why? You can get a new free one in FG ultimate that is much better. Same with the faction gear, gind that reputation up and by better ones.
most of the builds posted here are built upon having set effects(shattering smash and such).
also regard resistance reductions it seems i got the only physical reduction available in both trees or am i missing something?
Remember that retaliation damage can be converted, so your shield will convert chunk of physical retal to elemental for instance.
Point taken i totally forgot about the normal shield and i tried to advance in the order of expansions but since i hit a roadblock i guess its better just to skip to forgotten gods and farm that rep.
War Cry - Break Morale for physical rr
The nerfs will/would have (had) almost no impact on your current build actually.
Shield: powershop Hyram (in any difficulty) for this shield with good mods https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8831 the base shield will buff your counterstrike a lot by reducing its recharge
Sweet thanks for the tips

I saw some of your gear lacked components.
Make sure you get safeguard skill and Field command for more armor too.
Good luck, please report back in this thread when you have done some upgrades
