Palsteron's Kinetic Blast
|
Probably the most satisfying build i ever played.
But i dont get it at all. Whats the reason behind converting the Phys damage? Why not leave it as Phys? He has one Lighting & one Phys damage Cluster. Why? He has 60% of Phys converted to Cold & the rest to Lightning. Why not convert 100% to one damage type to scale it more efficient? My weapons

 How can 2 so different weapons have nearly the exact same Hit Damage? What do i have to look for to get a better weapon? I thought gain x% of Phys as extra damage is best, but my other weapon is the better one. Converting
Spoiler
 It shows 15% of Phys converted to Cold. But thats Taste of hate which states Gain 15% of Phys as extra cold. So its not really converted, right?. Above it shows 97% of Phys converted to Lightning. But here its only 74%  I assume 74% is correct and its the same "problem" as with the cold convertion, right? But if i fake change my Gloves to achieve 100% of phys converted to lightning, i gain only 2,4% more dps for the missing 26%. So why does Palsteron felt the need to get it to 100%? For everyone taking the time: Thank you! https://pobb.in/zbRUWhKpR8lM Im bad at math. Last edited by LoTharios#3338 on Oct 15, 2024, 6:34:20 AM Last bumped on Oct 15, 2024, 9:46:58 AM

Its a mana stack gem, your base weapon is pretty irrelevant to its overall dps except as a vehicle for attack speed/critical strike chance. This is also why your specific weapons aren't making much difference frankly you could use a shield with a better wand base right now and do more dps - obviously the one with 200 mana is contributing a good amount to the base but they are a bit of a mess.
As to converting phys its probably just so phys reflect isn't a rip, Reflect is dumb in PoE and even a tiny number gibs you once your hitting 100 mobs and critting. |

He outright states it in his guide:
cold dmg for freeze and shatter as a defensive layer lightning dmg for shocks as a generic dps buff the only reason why he is dual wielding is for the kingsmarch enchant granting a combined 70% movespeed. thats it |

" Are you sure? He loses around 40% of his dps, when unequipping his Off Hand wand. I also leaned on PoENinja, where 91% of over 300 builds used dual Wands. The cold/lightning thing sounds logic. Im not a native english speaker so i must missed that. Im bad at math. Last edited by LoTharios#3338 on Oct 15, 2024, 9:47:02 AM

Oh of course Orbaal is right its for the double ghosted wands and they give more than movespeed so it will tank DPS when you remove a wand (dual wield more attack speed bonus + associated offhand wand bonuses + ghost enchant)
This one was my bad I totally forgot the wand enchants were a thing and I was looking at the build thinking why would you dual wield for this? Last edited by Draegnarrr#2823 on Oct 15, 2024, 9:48:01 AM
