About calcing Phantasms dps in PoB, i was just experimenting adding jewels with different stats crafted in PoB, and came to the conclusion, that the most adequate way to calc it is next:

Create Raise Spectre skill, link all the Staff skills to it.
Manage Spectre and add Noisome Ophidian.
Select Tar Projectile instead of Default attack.
In Calc^Minion Stats section it will show all the nodes/skills/items we need in Skill Hit and Cast Rate sections. At least all that i've tested so far.

It doesnt add Ele/Chaos component to base damage as many other variants.
It scales with Cast speed instead of Attack speed.
It hasnt huge Base damage from skill (and i think Phantasms neither have) so it scales to straight phys add better.
It has only 1 node (Soul Weaver 100% inc damage) that fuck up damage calc. So you need to take it away, if you have, while testing.

It still think that Spell Echo will be great support, though.


So if we put base skill damage similar (with acceptable inaccuracy) to Phantasms this way let us scale items/skills/nodes pretty good.

PS. though it's my first league in PoE and i can miss smth stupid, as newbie that lack overall knowledge. So this all requires confirmation. Hadnt played/theorycraft arpgs since Diablo2 times.

Hey, You're on the right track for calculating dps however - the phantasms don't miss as they cast a spell. The best way to have a look at dps is to use the spell ethereal knives and pick up spiritial aid. The Minion damage gem is always used in every damaging minion build so it can be discounted.

I think the phantasms have half decent base damage by the way. Good work thinking outside the box

Smite fucks up your own EE if you're using deathwalk (adds flat lightning dmg to it) so your phantasm gem setup might suffer.
If it didn't screw up EE you can also use generosity as part of the smite links for a damage boost. I'd go smite, ac, generousity, fortify, increased duration, faster attacks?

Not sure what you mean. As I said, I take Avatar of Fire :P. There's no EE messing up going on. I do no damage but fire. Smite now, does fire only,I am ( logically) assuming the Phantasms get all of the lightning damage aura buff though.
If it wasn't for Avatar of Fire you'd be absolutely correct though.

then link generosity to it, it works with the smite aura.

I've been travelling a lot lately so haven't had a chance to finalize my character, but I've never really liked using a Kaom's Heart due to wanting to get a bunch of sockets for more action. I was aiming on getting a Belly of the Beast (not 6 link, just 6 socket).

I have an extra curse corruption on a Stone of Lazhwar and was thinking Projectile Weakness and Enfeeble for curses (3 link boots).

For auras I was going to link Hatred and Wrath to Generosity (getting reduced mana reserved to allow both). That leaves 3 sockets in the chest I have available assuming the rest of my gems are identical to yours.

What might be the best survival/damage set-up I could use for those remaining sockets? Or is my idea too far gone to be decent in delves (which was the purpose of this character).
