always nice to fullscreen a video and see that someone else has the superior aspect ratio

What is the role of Well of Darkness in this build (since Harb doesn't rely on Chill unlike Reaper) and can I replace it with optional utility depends on the fight?

[@saruliasgw2486]

Well of Darkness is the second highest damaging utility skill behind Well of Suffering. If you had to swap something out, it would be the first to go since Well of Suffering does more damage and you would want Elixir of Anguish for quickness uptime.

How much of a dps loss is taking staff instead of dagger/sword, just to have a ranged option?

[@saruliasgw2486]

Offhand sword is ranged, and dagger has at least 600 range for skill 2 and 3. I know you mean for extended periods of time, but the dagger/sword skills do more damage than the entirety of staff 2345 and the staff auto attack is very bad (sub 10k dps). If you had to stay at range for a longer period of time, I would try to just stay in shroud for a bit longer. If you just like staff more, I would expect ~1-1.5k lower dps

[@Exiled_Raven]

How much can you strip this down for it to not feel like you're chasing the highest dps numbers, like, doing a decent job for both dps and quick :)?

[@saruliasgw2486]

I'm not quite sure of what you're asking for, but if you want to sacrifice some dps for more boon duration, Soul Pastry is easy to slot in. It's also the cheapest food in the game. If you don't want to swap food, you can slot as many Diviner's pieces in as you'd like as long as you maintain 100% critical chance with Assassin's pieces or Eagle Runes. If quickness is frequently dropping on your subgroup, I'd say you should look into adding more boon duration. This build can upkeep 100% uptime with what is shown, but stuff happens
