Just don't hit the whole pack.

I'm currently at 10k Damage per hit (no multistrike), 8k of it being elemental.
I resist 75% of it -> 2k reflected damage
Only 18% gets reflected -> 360 reflected damage
Not main target mobs get hit by 70% only -> around 250 reflected damage per monster.

As long as you don't hit 10+ monsters at once, you barely notice it.

You don't use vaal pact either ? That's what I'm interrested in. With vaal pact there's no real issue with reflect, so I'm fine.

I have almost no physical damage to leech from (and I'll definetly not use a life leech gem).

Reducing it further by taking vaal pact wouldn't help me, even if the leech was now instant, it would be so low I barely would notice it.

Also it would mean a passive point investment that I don't want.

@Peterlerock: How I understand that node with an example ...

Let's say we have a phys build that has ...

500 base damage , and is using an aura for additional 30% of this damage as cold or whatever.

500 + 150 from conversion --> 650

Now let's add an 25% increased physical damage:

625 + 187.5 from conversion --> 812,5

Now let's do it with 25% increased damage:

625 + 234.375 from conversion which gets the increase as well --> 859

Is this not how it works ? How is it not better ?
I think this is reffered to as double dipping.

Even if multistrike does the same for shock chance that doesn't make the AoE blast account for it as well ... so it would still be around 6 aps. As far as I know the Blast copies only the critical strike (aside from the 70% damage stuff)

Is there something missing here?
When it's just "increased damage", it also applies to the 625 part.

If you mean "increased elemental damage", that's how it works:

500 + 150
25% increased physical damage
(500 + 150)*1.25 = 625 + 187,5
25% elemental damage on top
625 + 150*(1+0.25+0.25) = 625 + 225.

Bolded the important part.
All "increased" is added up in one multiplier.
You are treating it wrong, you make multiple multipliers.

And since you'll most likely have 500% or more increased damage on your static strike, having 25% additional damage only against shocked monsters doesn't mean anything at all.

5% shock is pretty cool, but the other half of the notable is negligible.

So you rely on lgoh too ?
No ele reflect map I guess ?

I'd really want to see a vid of you dudes.

I rely on 10% life regen, IC and not getting hit in the first place (strategical placement), mostly.
The rest is instant flasks and my terrible leech. ;)

Second and Third example are not related to each other , they are based on the first example.

And yeah the Shock chance is pretty much the best reason to get it anyway.

Ok, well then it's wrong for another reason.
You think it "double-dips".
It doesn't.

The "increased damage" only applies once to the elemental part, you applied it twice.
