Any tips on using poe.trade or poe.app (or another trade site) for narrowing mods for finding weapons? There are so many variables the make the items useable to good I can't figure out a way to find an optimal weapon.

% physical as extra Fire Damage

% physical as extra Lightning Damage

% physical as extra Cold Damage

% physical as extra Random Damage

% elemental as extra Chaos Damage

%increased elemental damage

%elemental penetration

Global Critical Chance

Spell Critical Chance

Critical Multiplyer

Cast speed?

Area damage


I've seen variations on all those stats from 1ex all the way up and it seems like a crap shoot guessing which values at which stats ends up actually boosting my PoB damage- and I get really tired of putting in configurations of those stats in both poe.app (for alerts) and poe.trade for the chrome macro to paste into PoB. Any recommendations?

In poe.trade instead of searching with AND on the bottom, you can search for a COUNT of those stats, so put them all in and say you want one with COUNT = 3, 4, 5, 6 of those stats depending on your budget.

For the ones that do the same thing (phys as light/fire/cold/random) SUM is better than count. You can break it out into two separate fields, like so:

If you want to get REALLY in depth, you can use the WEIGHT setting, and calculate the exact weights of different damage stats from your PoB. I imagine that's more than most people want to do, but it is the "best" method.

Does the hardcore variation save Alira or get 2 points?

As for searching for weapons, here is another option for anyone that doesn't mind doing some work:

Open PoB, import your current character, set up configurations (choose boss as shaper, tick having power charge, enable the flasks you are constantly using, etc.).
Then set one of the weapon slot to "None", better to be the weapon slot where you want to find a upgrade for.
On the right side, click "craft custom...", and paste the following text in the box:

{range:0}+(0-1)% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier

Click save.

Now you will see a drop down menu above the "New Item". Select first mod (adds fire damage), drag the slider on the right to rightmost, and PoB will tell you, how much dps is 1 unit of that attribute is giving you. Return the slider, and go on to next mod, repeat. (BTW you can totally skip added x-x damage mods because they just give too little dps)

Go to poe.trade, use "weight" group, for each mod, enter the dps gain PER UNIT from your observation. You may want to put a minimal total weight, so that you can quickly sort with that weight. E.g.

The following result is for my character, your character can be very different.

So what kind of numbers are we looking for in PoB? What "boxes" need to be checked?

I'm getting ~110k average hit with Hatred. Only thing I have checked is the "Enemies are chilled" for -Hypothermia calc.

"

I swap back and forth between, Kikazura/self flag and checking 5-6 curses, and turning off Hatred, but there's a pretty big DPS dip when I do that, so I'm guessing that setup is more for fights you can't flask spam?

One thing I would add that he doesn't mention, is that PoB does not calculate phys as random element correctly (or at all, I should say). Its weight is just the average of the light/cold/fire "as extra" weights (light+cold+fire).

Noticed this last night. Friend linked me a Sceptre he thought was amazing with random element roll but when I plugged it into PoB my DPS dropped by %15. I guess you just have to work around that and estimate.
