the add %lighting/cold/fire dmg and spell dmg useful for Power Siphon?

Short question:




Is this one worth to exalt it?


I am currently using this one wich gives me a +200dps benefit compared to the other one but i think the previous wand could boost me even harder with a +godly stat on it(e.g. firedmg, crit), couldnt it?

Have you tried both on with wrath? Both with max power charges? I would think the wand with +% lightning damage would win out in the long run as it amplifies all your lightning damage from other sources.

Spell damage never effects attacks. Anything that requires a weapon is an attack and not a spell. Power Siphon requires a Wand and is therefore an attack(Projectile attack specifically) and is not effected by Cast Speed, Spell Damage or Spell Crit.

%lightning/cold/fire is only useful to you if you have damage from that source specifically. Its better to get general +% elemental damage so you cover all your bases.

thx And another question，why the Power Siphon should be lvl5？

Question to the wanders out their on HC: how do you deal with chaos resist? Do you guys stack it to get out of the negatives when in Cruel and Merciless difficulties? I see Kripp's gear that he posted only has one piece with chaos resist (+10% Chaos).

If ur running EB take the +16 Chaos Resist Node with you. Kripp once said that -40 ChaosResist should be fine IF you have a big lifepool (5k+). If not you should at least stack near zero resists because pierced resists is a pain in the ass! Poison archers in Western Forest can hit for 2-3k if you have -60 Chaos resists (or was ist -40...)... It hurts alot :D

@liuqiao9902: Your main dps as wander comes from ELEMENTAL DAMAGE. Since PS only increases the physical damage you do not have to lvl it higher than lvl 5. The mana cost increase appears low but you should keep in mind that you have lots of multipliers.

I'd like to point out that if you have the mana to upkeep a 5-6 linked power siphon then elemental hit is superior in every possible way than another power siphon for your 4 link single target attack. The damage is light years higher, the quality bonus is better, it interacts better with things like weapon elemental damage and all your elemental damage boosts, and if you want the power charge just use your aoe linked power siphon for the culling strike last hit.

thats exactly what im running, i tested the difference between power siphon and elemental hit for single target attacks (very crudely) and it pretty much doubled the dps which is insane, but it does have it's drawback which are reflect mobs.

What level are u guys leveling Elemental hit up too? Im about to test it out...

I love this build !

Yesterday I hit 12,5k single dps..I mean 12,5 ?! WTF...Only replaced an amulet with 20 more lightning dmg and +50% crit mult and from 9,6k up to 12,5k. Crazy ! Today I'll get the +30% lightning node.

And in my opinion crit chance on the wand is more important than ias, got a 10,48% and it helped so much.

WTF will happen with the 1-120 lightning boots ? :)

It is outdate build ? Because, I dont see Freezing Poolse with GMP heare.
