Hey! Nice build!
Having tons of fun leveling it up

Just a question... could you explain me why the fire pen linked to VD and not conc effect/ele focus?
Does it gives more dmg once we run the indigon?

To counter boss resistances.

Lets say you deal 1M pure dps.

Ele focus version:

1 000 000 x 1.54 x 1.49 ~ 2.3M dmg before mitigation

Normally bosses have 40% ele resists, so:

No pen after mitigation is:

~1 375 000 dps

Now with this build you already have some pen built in (20%):

So no pen version would actually deal x0.8 dmg:

~1 840 000 dps (this would be your dps vs Shaper or Elder because those instances have no map mods.)

But it looks ALOT worse in case of guardians because you can roll %ele resist and ele equilibrium, effectively making it half or less dmg.

Now pen version

1 000 000 base x 1.54 = 1 540 000 before mitigation

After mitigation its still 1 540 000 but because you have built in ele penetration, in most cases total penetration is 60% which actually works as an additional 1.2 multipler:

1 540 000 x 1.2 ~ 1 850 000 after combined penetration (this is dps vs Shaper because he cannot roll map mods)

Penetration also looks a lot better in case of map mods because you have total of 60% penetration.

---

So overall :

- penetration has higher EFFECTIVE dmg vs Endgame bosses
- is less effected by map mods
- but has less Tooltip bullshit dmg ;)

Bosses setup is: VD-Conc-Fire Pen
