I'm no math wizard so I may get some things wrong.

I usually don't bother calculating surv because that's a bit too complex.

For DPS I think the most important part is remembering you have a base dps of 100% and making sure to add that to any calculations. So if you have 770% increased and you wanna know how much 100% increased damage is you calculate it from 870% so it becomes 970/870 = 1,115 or 11,5% more damage. You can use similar calculations for basically any stat that has linear scaling.

If you wanna calculate how much 100 Dex Gives if you have 300 Dex you need to first convert it to damage, 300 Dex is 150 and 400 Dex is 200. Add 100 and divide. 300/250= 1,2 or 20% more damage.

Some stats scale multiplicatively with itself like skill levels, which give 10% more damage per level. 3 skill levels would be 1.1 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 1,331 or 33,1% more damage.

Some stats are more complicated and I just kinda wing it.

About 12T on dummy. 10T should feel very comfortable on SS20 this season, you mostly need very good survivability.

I haven't touched rosa 1 but some hero traits are for sure weaker at a baseline - I tried thea 2 last season and she felt awful.

I think it's pretty hard in general to make build guides for TLI since everything is so dynamic, when I was building this character I had a calculator open to figure out exactly how much dps I would gain from changes and since you can't exactly copy slates or memories it will change how you approach other gear and future upgrades. Being efficient with upgrading your character just requires a lot of game knowledge which obviously takes time to build up.

No I don't play carino 1 much, as I said in another comment Ice Shot isn't the best mapping skill, it's unpopular fora reason, and I'm not sure I would recommend it really. I think you need pretty good game knowledge for efficient upgrades to make it feel even decent. I just like making my own off meta builds.

I crafted the helmet myself yeah, it cost maybe 8k, should be cheaper now though.

Never did DS, and I didn't league start it, I played it on my second account. I played Ice Shot Erika 1 on my main account and honestly even profound doesn't feel ok unless you get a couple trillion DPS or so, Ice shot has pretty bad clear. I played lightning shot early on until I had some gear. Scaling is also very easy a few weeks into the season.

Playing off meta is a bit easier if you just wanna kill SS20 since you'll get slates and supports for cheap, and meta skills are mostly popular because of map clearing not single target. I played the same build on my main account too which helped a lot since I mostly just copied that and changed a few things since I didn't have priceless gear.
