Tried rift with 20/20 armor and shield, nightwing. Made physical damage very crappy, cold barely did anything in p8.

2k life only?

no claws?

no ds?
Used titan build for max dmg.

oh boy.. where to start.

first of all your build is far from godly, because lwpb just sucks for overall pvm, and Im sure the rest of your gear is full of bad equipment choices as well.
second of all.. you are playing the build wrong. do yourself a favor and build a zealot or a fury druid, because that seems to be more what you want to do in pvm. dtalon kicksins do not just kick.. you have to use multiple abilities constantly as a kicksin, death sentry and cloak of shadows mainly, but other skills as well, teleport to minion stack constantly and aim shadow+merc as well.

you are just playing the build wrong. as well as you are using what looks like a boss killer kicksin setup (lwpb and whatnot) which sucks for overall pvm. get yourself some crowd control from a stormlash or a rift. start using more abilities.
Used stormlash in 2nd part of vid with 160/60 shield, in first part used brand.

your getting owned because your not playing properly imo.

your pvm, your  not utilizing ds much at  Your not using cos to manage crowds and then simply charging into everything is a sure way to die. Super sloppy in the eyes of this hc player. I would not say that Brand is ideal either. Lacerator will give you the amp your looking for while you also maintain higher dr and max block.

Make this pvm sin and you'll be amazed at how good kick is.

My build rivals any of the cookie cutters in kill speed while played effectively.
Lacerator just scares monsters away, tried it, didnt work.

oh, didn't watch that far.
well.. brand is obviously not good for this, didn't even think you'd be using that, thought that was your merc doing the procs lol.
also why 160/60 shield..

in any case. stormlash, static proc, death sentry. kills a lot of monsters at a time. dtalon is for single targets while the procs hurt everyone and death sentry cleans up. this is not a zealot where you just dtalon every monster one by one. stop playing it like a zealot and you will have greater success.
riftsins are also a nice alternative for great crowd control skills.

I did use DS most of the time, just forgot in the very beginning. In any case, it didnt make a lot of difference due to most monsters being fire immune and having high phys res, so having it around 100% of the time isnt that important DPS wise

That wont solve the problem of kicker being slow as hell at killing stuff though, as even the brand setup had problems with it

you're still trying to play it like a zealot with just straight use of dtalon, this is your main problem. if you want to be better you have to make use of the abilities the class has. DS and many other things as well.
