I am currently running VMA at CP 383. I'm on stage 6, and I've made it to the hell-of-an-RNG boss fight.. (Stupid swarms and their snares...) I am well aware that this build is not IDEAL, but I'm looking for ways to improve it, without further to do, here are my stats. HUGE NOTE: ( I HAVE BEEN MOSTLY ONE-BARRING VMA ON A PET BUILD. i HAVE NOW ADDED SOME EXTRA BUFFS ONTO MY BACK BAR.)

____________________________________________________________________________
Gear: (The major part of the build I'm questioning, as you can probably tell, I am not running Necropotence, even though I'm on a pet build. That much is due to availability at the given second, and my slight unwavering opinion that extra magicka would throughly destroy my current DPS as is.)

Now, doing some tests last night, my DPS is ungodly horrible, though I have a fair sustain through recovery, and heavy-attack spam while DOTs are down.
Using Lighting Rage, on top of Elemental blockade, and hitting all my procs, I'm dpsing 17-20k.
As I said, I'm trying to do VMA, and I'm looking for any more optimal changes I can make to my build to increase DPS and keep a good level of sustain
