Am I missing something? Mana Stacking Chaos Archmage but my dmg feels very low

I have 5.2k mana (normally overflowed to ~8k)
My gear is good (i think?) but my main skill (fireball) is still only doing around 25k tooltip dps (against bosses id estimate i do around 50-60k with procs and such).

Its a bit of a silly concept - Blackflame covenant CoEA Chayula monk.

I have wither and shock, sigil of power etc but im still fighting map bosses for 5+ minutes each (i dont want to one-shot, but this is too slow!)

Am I missing something obvious that would help my damage? Please help! Its sorta miserable despite all my efforts to make it work..

First off check your weapon. It is the primary means of increasing your damage. After that, Chayula and Chaos damage are both in a pretty bad place right now. I don't know all the current issues, but your best bet is to look at comparable builds on PoE2 ninja website. You may find some more advanced versions of your concept there.

Use CoC/CoA with something that can proc it a lot, like frost darts or something. I get x8-x10 dps from crit-capped CoC relative to the tooltip of the skill. And then mana would be a problem with Archmage, so Lifetap+leech to solve this one as well. I get ~2.5mln DPS with CoC pre-buff with just 2.1k mana and 40k tooltip, which is ~8.6 mln after all buffs (Sigil, etc). My scaling is higher, as Spark hits multiple times

Thank you for your suggestions. However, I am using CI so i cant run lifetap/lifeleech. Im running a CoA setup for ignites (i also shock thanks to archmage). Mana wise i mostly sustain from mana remnants and blue throufh the breach remnants :)

Thank you. Ive been searching around and found someone with a very int attribute focused passive tree so im going to try that out. It looks like km the only player foolish enough to be trying to make it all work on a Chayula monk, though 😅

Well, I run a CoC+CoA combo, and CoA triggers a lot on bosses (almost nothing on mapping due to no investments in ailments).
Ignited comet via living bomb is >1mln dps. I really doubt it is sustainable via mana remnants... as it's up to 10 triggers/sec and you'd need 5-10 sec of sustained casts on 10-15mln hp map bosses, even without delirium. Unless you scale ignites and play single shot via dot, then you can scale via dmg/crit on full life/first hit, this way mana sustain would not be an issue

p.s.
here are some guides for a late-game dmg:

tldr: you gotta look for mechanics one-shot builds use, to get something that at least somewhat comfortable
