I have a quick question. Trying out this build right now and absolutely loving it. But I have trouble understanding the dps calculation. The skill toolbar dps is completely whack (mine is at 32k atm), so I'm trying to calculate my actual dps with the formula you've provided.

VD average damage from hit means the actual fire damage of each ball, right? What about the average damage of the corpse explosion? Is there a spreadsheet with the hp pools of corpses you make via unearth, desecrate etc?

Seems to me that, even though my clear speed is ridiculous, my actual dps is nowhere near 3m.

P. S.

I took some liberty with the build. And it's not finished yet (refurbished FP inq).

So to be clear about the max APS. That is let's say 3.82APS without frenzy buffs? So it's ok going over with the charges and not have the bug?

edit: nm.. after reading some more and testing it seems I am getting too much APS. When removing the faster attacks gem I see VD being cast on every possible attack and with faster attacks theres just way less VD projectiles being created.

How bad is it to have a 9% AS poet and an 11% poet? Seems better to dump the 11% one for a 9% one :)

I think corpse explosion is not as big (to take it in claculation) because it is not scaled by any modifiers and can't crit ( penetrate resistance of boss)
After you have to turn Power charges and Frenzy charges, Turn all yours pots and then you will sit at 80+k pro ball. Tought those digits are unrealistical - you will be dead if you will try to stay and lay damage. You have to run 80% of time :)

Hello, maybe someone else already ask about it, but can you explain, why Physycal to Lightning?)

There is no relevant skill gem for you to use in the last slot of that poets pen. (Support only) it gave a significant enough amount of damage enough to use unearth as a clear skill if you really wanted. It also had to be blue for a bodyswap gem switch.

What you think about fingerless glowes crafted with Insanity essence? This 16% more sounds pretty juicy.


Cheers.

I have to go for Rare helmet with the enchant of full rez to replace my full rez belt with HH , is HH insane on this build or it's just better with a cooldown recovery belt?

farming shaped channel with this build got 3 ex drops today because the build can clear at a decent speed but I would like to go over 9000 with it and aim for lvl 100. should I get a HH or it's not worth it?
