Referring to the discussion Aw. Added Lightning vs Aw. Lightning Pen. I used both (Aw. Added Lightning 5/20 and Aw. Lightning Pen 4/20) and subjectively at this point (16% Ele Pen from High Explosives combined with Heart of Thunder), Aw. Lightning Pen felt a lot stronger on bosses and in Red Tier maps. In HO my avg BL Dps went down from 32k to 24k but overall it feels a lot stronger. I guess this will change as soon as i get 10% pen enchant and the 5% pen Cluster Jewel.
This is exactly what annoys me too.
I did the same,
had 35k tooltip dmg with AwaAddedLight,
changed to
AwaLightPen,
got to 27k tooltip dmg,
but it feels like 50% more damage.
I think, it IS around 30% more damage, but no System can handle that pen-info. That is annoying.
Which newer Player should get into this, lol.

has anyone tried icicle mine with this build yet? wondering how good it is compared to ball ligntning
Needs a ton of investment to feel similar, GC is a better comparison atm
This.
Icicle mine is very nice, and prevents u from porcupines (cause they scatter cause frozen and dont explode), but the total damage is less than BL.

I have probably 6-7 exalts total right now and was wondering if it's worth spending pretty much all my currency for them, and re-speccing for the leech with them.
Or should I spend a few exalts grabbing an aspect of spider ring or belt and enlighten 3 first.On that note it seems that a ring would be the cheaper option, any reason to grab aspect on belt instead? (Do lots of people run shaper ring with an elder ring?)
I could also look to spend it mainly on crafting a new wand if that would a better idea, granted would likely need to see if someone has a good guide/method for it.
You need aspect of the spider and level 2 enlighten. That should only cost around 60-70c together.

Pob can handle the calculations fine, but it doesn’t do it by default. It thinks mobs all have zero resists for some reason. Most mobs are capped or overcapped for one reason or another while mapping and you need to manually set those res numbers to get an accurate picture. Try setting the mobs light resists to 75% and watch what happens in pob.
Does tailwind / elusive work with mines ? Planning to craft my own boots as my next upgrade.
They do not. There aren’t really any great mods to be found on influenced bases. Ailment effect is probably the best one, check my level 100 sab for an example.
Thanks for the reply. How about lightning exposure on hit from crusader mod ? Just crafted this wand and will be going for t1 crit chance with spells along with 1 more suffix. If lightning exposure works, would it be better to have it on here or get the crafted qual + crit chance ?

i meant ingame, tooltip dmg, not in PoB.
Imo the game SHOULD be able to calculate that thing, even if it has to assume that there is a mob with XY-resist.
But nvm, ty for your tips, i just cant stand that there are dps-calculate-problems ingame. Nothing against u ofc.

Hey what should i upgrade next to increase my damage by alot ? because now only 10k BL in hideout :( and it looks like not enough for T16 bosses dying pretty much often :( because it takes a while to kill bosses
