I'm wondering if Elemental Overload is worth it.
Even with 3 power charges (18.6% effective critical chance), and mapping with crazy speed, Elemental Overload does not seem to proc that often.
If we take Forces of Nature, it's the same DPS gain but with 100% uptime and penetration.

ele overload is 'more' damage, not 'increased' damage.


all forms of increased damage are additive, so they all add together and are applied to your damage as one big multiplier.

more damage multipliers are separate multipliers by themselves, they take your damage after all the increased damage stats have been applied and then multiply the final figure again. 'More' damage stats do not add together as a second layer of multiplication, each source of more damage is its own multiplier that gets calculated by itself.

example: you start with 100 damage, and have 400% increased damage. This makes your total damage = 500 damage



you now get another 80% increased damage, so you start with 100 base damage and now have 480% increased, = 580 damage



if instead you have 100 base, 400% increased and then 40% more damage it works like this...

100 base multiplied by the 400% increased = 500 damage

500 is then multiplied by the 40% more = 700 damage



'more' multipliers tend to heavily boost the stats they are applied to. If you look at most gems, elemental damage with attacks, elemental focus etc, the big stats on them are all more multipliers, thats why a gem link with 55% more damage on it is doing so much compared to 55% increased damage on an item or a combo of nodes.

Would someone please give me some advice? I've put a lot of currency into this character so far, and I'm just not seeing the returns that I expected when it comes to map clearing. As soon as i get to t9+ i start dying a lot. Especially during team play, i just get slaughtered (mostly 1 hit) on bosses. I think that I MUST be missing something, because my suitability is just plain terrible. I find myself running out of mana a lot with only 122 mana pool, then I have to wait a second for my regen to kick in to continue flickering away. I'd like to get good running t12-16 maps like my last build (spectre). Thanks for any input, it's MUCH appreciated!

To help with your mana, I'd suggest two things for now.

1) refund the one armor node and three resist nodes to the left of Warrior's Blood. Connect the tree with the two strength nodes below Warrior's Blood and use the two leftover points to get Revelry. That gives you 33 more unreserved mana and approximately 27% more mana leech/gain.

2) Get a level 3 Enlighten gem for your Flammability/Anger setup. That will give you another 25 unreserved mana.

In POB that makes you go from 122 unreserved mana + 129.4 Leech/On Hit up to 180 unreserved mana + 180.3 Leech/On Hit rate.

I'm not sure what to say about the survivability, but the mana problems might be contributing to that since you would stop leeching/moving/etc when you run out?
