I usually take down mobs almost instantly with a few exceptions but when it comes to bosses, my damage is absolutely garbage.
I've talked to everyone I know but no one has an answer for why I'm taking 35 minutes to kill Hell Andariel

With that I'm dealing roughly 26k damage per second before physical resists are calculated but even if bosses have 50% phys res shouldn't I still be killing her pretty fast?

get an elemental oskill and spam it while the vessels are auto- shooting . i've used Apocalypse from level 20-ish up to around level 100-ish . from 100 (or earlier) to 117 you can use Punisher (deals about 20k poison damage/second with not much dedicated gear) , after 117 you can use Brimstone (similar damage to Punisher , but covers a bigger AoE , dealing fire damage ) . You may also try Ring Of Light oskill as that also deals a shitload of fire damage

I was using Apoc for a while to level actually but still, I'm trying to figure out why 26k per second took 35 minutes to kill her.
I've noticed the same happens for most bosses or super-uniques that are around the same level as me.
I'm starting to think maybe it's a bug of some kind that isn't allowing the damage from each missile to actually apply so I wanna figure it out before I dump too much energy into the vessel build.

On a side note, would you mind PMing me your build? I'm very curious to see it end game

the build is Athelstan , you can find it in my compilation at no.03 . the updates are still in progress , i have only edited the early game section so far , i will probably finish the rest this week . viewtopic.php?f=49&t=491#link03 . the changes are not so big during it's 9 years of existance . a part of the testing/updates was streamed here http://www.twitch.tv/chucknorised

i am trying to upgrade tiered items and it wont let me go to the sixth tier i cant get past tier 4 is there some reason for this?

As a 2-h axe. Deathgaze barb, what crafted jewel is best?
Life leech?

Also related, life and mana leech only applies to the PHYSICAL damage done to enemies, right?

In the newest patch, SIGMA, there are only 1~4 tiered items and then they go to sacred. A welcome change for me actually.

T4 is the new T6.
