This is not always true, in general.

One small example specific to this build is that a 21/0 Intensify is actually better than a 20/20 Intensify.

For Intensify, gaining 1 level adds more DPS than gaining 20% in quality.

Obviously the best would be 21/23 but those are expensive so if choosing between a 20/20 and a 21/0 one should choose 21/0 in this case.




awakended inc aoe is better.

Good catch! TIL. Ah, the lv21 one has an improvement on "more" spell damage.

That could be. I have not directly compared them while playing. I have only compared them using POB.

Nearly every level 100 player who runs the Diadem version, uses Intensify over Awakened Inc AOE, as seen on poeninja. This may just all be copy cats or they see what I see on POB.

On POB, the DPS difference between Intensify and Awakened Inc AOE is enormous, even with Intensity set to just one (you always have at least one level of Intensity). When you get to max Intensity level of 3, which is super easy, the damage sky rockets, which is what we want vs single target.

With avoids elemental ailments on gloves and helmet, I'm at 70%. Is there a way to get the remaining 30%?
by reading the guide.
not really since the intensify reduces aoe, meaning that overlap is reduced pr stage, while awakende aoe keeps aoe up while adding a solid dps boost. also any hard boss requires constant movement. even if you can tank hard hits you should avoide any unnneeded damage.

Maybe the pob dps is higher but not the real one.

Spell cascade can be played with intensify until a medium gear for this build but when you have aw. spell cascade you will need aw. Inc. AOE, why?

Well because with intensify (stage 3) is really weird that you are overlaping more than... 10-20 blades but with Awk. Inc. AOE you will overlap 50 blades easily.

You can test this ingame seeing the radius of the explosions by taking a point as in the ground as a boss to see if that point is being hit or not.

For the auras they have (one shocks nearby enemies, the other chills them).
