It depends on what type of stats your bow has. elehit is enhancing any elemental damage your bow has whereas ice shot and burning arrow aren't, thus, elehit might say it's less, but it's actually more because of the multiple elemental effects.

so you cant rely on the dps box to determine the best gem combo to use?
then what else can u use to judge the effectiveness of your gems/bow?

What level should I stop leveling the gems? Especially Wrath / Anger?

boss killer:
Burning arrow + wep ele dmg + added lightning dmg = 191 dps
frenzy instead of burning arrow is only 154dmg. WTF?

How much would frenzy dmg be if it had 3 charges?


It would depend on the level of the Frenzy gem (anywhere from 12% to 30% total). Most likely, unless it's a 30% increase from being level 16 or higher, its not going to be very significant compared to the increase from Burning Arrow at a similar level.


wiki says lvl1 frenzy is +4% dmg and +5% speed, thus +9%.

3 charges = 9x3 = +27%

154 x 27% = 195dps, same as burning arrow :(

at lvl 4, frenzy gains +2% total. 3 charges x 2% = +6%.
burning arrow at lvl 4 is +9%, and costs less in mana.

i guess i'm sticking with burning arrow till i get elemental hit.

One of the biggest perks of Frenzy is that it's a global attack speed increase. You can build up those three Frenzy charges and spam your aoe ability (SA or LA) to much greater effectiveness.

This discussion isn't that important though, we're debating which skill is second place for single target dps.

this build is for marauders...obviously
Why dont you take the Inner Force Ring? You are very near to it.

Doesnt that improve the damage of Anger/Warth a lot?
