Optimal Link + Aura Calculator For Summon Raging Spirit [Updated 1.1.5]
|
I'm not updating this any more, because there wasn't enough interest/people using it. I made a easy to use & powerful SRS DPS Calculator based in google sheets.
------ Introduction Hi, the discussions about how to optimally link/aura Raging Spirit in both Velkor's self-casting build and MaddBomber83's tri-totem build got me interested in solving the problem optimally. My method is simple: write a integer program and use a online solver. An integer program is a type of optimization problem where we seek to find optimal values for variables. Furthermore we constrain the variables to be integers. In our case this simply means we have booleans for what gems and auras we use. The online solver then finds the combination of values that gives us maximum DPS. -------------------- Experiment Setup + Issues Character stats from the tree in my Summon Raging Spirit Guide: * 65% increased minion damage, * 12% minion attack speed * 70% increased aura effectiveness * 45% increased skill duration (from passives+equipment) * 40% faster cast total from tree & equipment I used Level 20 20% Quality gems. The gems I considered were: Melee Phys Dmg (MPD), Faster Attacks (FA), Multistrike (MS), Increased Skill Duration (Dur), Faster Casting (FCR), Minion Damage (MD), and Melee Splash (MSp), Weapon Elemental Damage (WED), Empower (Emp), Spell Echo (SE), Added Fire (AF), Culling Strike (CS). I consider the gems socketed in a +2 fire staff (the gems/auras are the same for +2 hat or +0 armor). The results for +3 fire staffs use empower L3+ as a 5th/6th gem. The auras I considered were: Haste, Hatred, Wrath, Anger. DPS is displayed against monsters with 30% all res with Flesh offering on, EE proc'd, EW casted, and assuming spirits idle for 0.5sec, but then attack immediately for their full lifetime without traveling. If you want to run the experiments with different starting settings, I will explain how to do so after the results section. -------------------- Results updated for 1.1.5 Auras for all 2 aura results: Haste, Hatred. If you can only run offensive 1 aura, always pick hatred. 2 Aura 4 Support 3-Totem Single Target: MPD, MS, FCR, MD Singe Target DPS = 407255 NSpirit = 22.6977 Dmg = 2972.96 APS = 6.03526 AoE: MPD, MS, CS, MSp AoE DPS = 295171 NSpirit = 18.0141 Dmg = 2314.33 APS = 6.37205 2 Aura 5 Support 3-Totem Single Target: MPD, MS, FCR, MD, CS Single Target DPS = 537930 NSpirit = 23.8987 Dmg = 3179.18 APS = 6.37205 AoE: MPD, MS, FCR, MD, MSp AoE DPS = 392466 NSpirit = 22.6977 Dmg = 2865 APS = 6.03526 1 Aura 3 Support Self Cast (eg +2 hat) Aura: Hatred Single Target: SE, MS, MPD Single Target DPS = 267192 NSpirit = 13.5306 Dmg = 4286.11 APS = 5.11919 AoE: SE, MS, Msp DPS = 180485 NSpirit = 13.5306 Dmg = 2895.22 APS = 5.11919 2 Aura 3 Support Self Cast Single Target: SE, MS, MPD Single Target DPS = 376206 NSpirit = 16.1594 Dmg = 4286.11 APS = 6.03526 AoE: SE, MS, Msp AoE DPS = 254123 NSpirit = 16.1594 Dmg = 2895.22 APS = 6.03526 2 Aura 4 Support Self Cast Single Target: SE, MPD, MS, MD Single Target DPS = 527835 NSpirit = 16.1594 Dmg = 6013.62 APS = 6.03526 AoE: SE, MPD, MS, MSp AoE DPS = 381478 NSpirit = 16.1594 Dmg = 4346.18 APS = 6.03526 2 Aura 5 Support Self Cast Single Target: SE, MPD, MS, CS, MD Single Target DPS = 701341 NSpirit = 17.1258 Dmg = 6426.86 APS = 6.37205 AoE: SE, MPD, MS, CS, MSp AoE DPS = 512141 NSpirit = 17.1258 Dmg = 4693.09 APS = 6.37205 2 Aura 6L Pledge of Hands Single Target: SE, MPD, MS, CS, MD, AF Single Target DPS = 744732 NSpirit = 18.1392 Dmg = 6443.22 APS = 6.37205 AoE: SE, MPD, MS, Msp, CS, AF AoE DPS = 545628 NSpirit = 18.1392 Dmg = 4720.63 APS = 6.37205 2 Aura 6L +3 Fire, L3 Empower Single Target: SE, MS, MPD, MD, Emp Singe Target DPS = 884944 NSpirit = 16.1594 Dmg = 10082.2 APS = 6.03526 AoE: SE, MS, MPD, Msp, Emp AoE DPS = 640609 NSpirit = 16.1594 Dmg = 7298.45 APS = 6.03526 2 Aura 6L +3 Fire 20% Cast, L4 Empower, L21 Spirit, Vaal Haste up Single Target: SE, MS, MPD, MD, Emp Single Target DPS = 2441180 NSpirit = 24.8286 Dmg = 12943.9 APS = 8.43993 AoE: SE, MS, MPD, MSp, Emp AoE DPS = 1768180 NSpirit = 24.8286 Dmg = 9375.47 APS = 8.43993 Updates Update 1: Fixed multistrike to use more attack speed instead of increased AS.

Modifying the model file Anyone with some programming/math knowledge should be able to modify the file without too much trouble. Google "AMPL", or see here for examples. "param" data types don't change during the program execution. If you want to run experiments with your character attributes you would go through the "global parameters," "auras," and "support gems" sections and change the param values to those that match your character or gems. "var" data types are the ones we are solving for. For instance the variable for using the faster attacks gem, "var FA", is either 0 or 1, and we want our optimization program to find its value. The way it's implemented is that our IAS is increased if we use it (value 1) and remains unchanged if we don't use it (value 0). In AMPL we write this as IAS = APS_base*(1+FA_ias*FA); Also ask questions here. I will attempt to answer them, but I am nowhere near an expert on AMPL, Integer Programming, or PoE for that matter.

Aura's are reduced for minions, yes. I think people had figured out that Self Casting Summon Skelles is the best option for summoner at this point. Summon skelle+added chaos+....not really sure 8)
Although I would love to have a Dual totem Raging Spirit. The 50% from Spell totem + aura nerf just reduce damage too much. I've been wanting a build that I can use with lots of IIR that would work without a high gear cost and seems summoner is the best choice atm. Raging spirit could be good I think if you did like ... Ele Equilibrium + Ele Weakness and Haste + Wrath + Anger + Reduced mana You would need some reduce aura nodes with a lot of aura effectiveness (50%+) You migt need increased duration too, I guess gem. Not sure if the duration increase skill node increases the duration of summoned skulls... (under scion) but if it does, obviously get this one and lose the gem. I think an optimal link setup is... Raging Spirit - Spell Totem - Faster Casting - Melee Splash/Life Leech (or quality % Life Gain on Hit)/Increased Duration - Multistrike - Faster Attacks (If you have some minion life regen% + 100% increased minion life) Hopefully the minions can regen. fast enough that you could throw melee splash in there instead of +life or having to use increased duration. Note I've never tested any of this myself just pure speculation. I also found this link earlier (posted by GGG) indicating minion damage https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ahqk9lptRHcMdHdjM1hTNTV1NzhBeEtQYlVvM1NvSFE#gid=4 Not sure what the current tooltips say about minion damage but I like those posted numbers. I think SRS can be viable, if not pretty strong. Especially for MFing. You could have your minions DPS and just use a spell like ARC with Faster casting + cull + rarity to finish enemies for the increased rarity drop. Last edited by Weed#5265 on Apr 10, 2014, 5:37:50 PM

Interesting post overall... Did you read at least the opening posts in the threads I linked and the introduction in my opening post?
Anyways, the most interesting (IMO) point you brought up was: " The nodes under scion give 45% dura. If we take them, while maintaining the other stats as described in the "experiment setup" section do we really want to drop the Dura gem? It turns out it's better to keep it. In this case, when using 2aura, 3support, tri-totem we still get MPD, Dur, MD as the optimal 3 supports and hatred, haste as our auras. Our DPS is much better at 59.6k. " EE is pretty much a must, but I don't think it affects the decisions we make. Considering a curse is the next thing I will work on probably. Right now I'm thinking vulnerability vs. ele weakness.

There is no way that Multistrike is not on the optimal links, especially over faster attacks. I believe you might have calculated Multistrike as increased attack speed instead of more attack speed.
Edit: Like you noted, melee splash was not calculated to full potential, but from a playability point of view, it is one of the strongest support gems. Another gem to consider is culling strike. With quality, this is another gem that double dips just like Haste because of the 10% increased attack speed and 10% increased cast speed. This is extra good because as a summoner, raging spirits are not the only source of your damage. Being able to add the cull effect is extra important since you are losing only one link on a portion of your damage for the effect.

" TY for input! MS: yes I was calculating it as increased as opposed to more. Good catch. Will fix and update. CS: I will add this gem as L20/Q20 in the mix and update. Melee Splash: I would love to calculate this in some reasonable way. The best I can think of is to somehow estimate the number of targets that fall into the splash radius. If we could do that exactly, evaluating Melee splash would be easy. OTOH we could consider clear times in some consistent area like Docks or Battlefront. I'm slightly reluctant to do that since it sort of throws out this optimization problem approach out of the window.

The problem with Melee Splash is that the only time I really feel endangered is against big tough single targets. Large mobs might go away a little quicker with splash, but I really don't have to worry about them.

just talking things from a practical point of view
basically what you want to do with anger/wrath/haste is to stack as much APS as you can. more APS you will attack faster and apply more damage with your aura. its easy to understand say you have anger/wrath that gives you 1000 element dmg per attack if you have 1 aps, you will only do 1000 dps if you have 2 aps, you do 2000 dps. this is the basic principle of such aura build, the one behind element buzzsaw and the recent windripper build. theres why imo multistrike is a must here, it gives MORE(not just increased!) APS, does not suffer any drawback (lack of control and heavy mana usage) that are a typical multistrike melee character would have. other than the less dmg multiplier which the increased aps should more than make up for it. now things get more complicated with hatred. apparently hatred is calculated from the base damage the raging spirit does before conversion to fire, before the usual multipliers from linked skills and dmg effectiveness is applied. (i think that the 70% damage multiplier should also apply, like every other skill in the game with dmg effectiveness does to added dmg.) considering only 20/0 gems, raging spirit does average of 365.5 dmg per hit before conversion with lvl20 hatred its 36%*365.5=131.58 cold dmg per hit before damage multipliers compare to lvl20 anger which is 125 fire dmg per hit before any damage multipliers. it might not seem much different but the dmg difference become wider apart with more APS! thing is unlike anger/wrath u can also boost this hatred dmg with meleephysical. intuitively i think the optimum links would be either fastercasting-minion dmg-MPD-multistrike or fastercasting-minion dmg-fasterattacks-multistrike i was considering the second links since it gives the solid "just add more aps" standpoint for anger/wrath however considering MPD gives a more multiplier which affects both the physical and cold dmg for hatred, the first link might outdo the second especially with if anger/hatred is involved instead. im considering 5l here since its relatively cheap to get nowadays. dont use increased duration since its not worth it unless its a long fight/no aoe boss. about melee splash i would probably swap in melee splash with multistrike/mpd but only if pack density is very large. however u need to consider that melee splash aoe is quite small (especially without quality) and i would take it away during single target boss fight to avoid hampering dps. |

Hi BisuProbe, JaedongLings here. :)
We could test whether Hatred is affected by effectiveness like this: " If you're able to do it I would appreciate it, otherwise I'll do it later today. I ran the tests for you: 2 auras, 4 Links, no duration gem, hatred penalized by 70% just like wrath and anger (I didn't penalize it for the results in OP). For Tri-totem result was Hatred, Haste; MPD, MD, FCR, MS for 40.4k DPS. For self-cast (assuming you have 30% cast from items+tree) FCR was replaced with FA for a total of 47.6k DPS, auras were still Haste/Hatred. Edit: Then I saw your edit. So I specifically forced Haste=0. I got Hatred, Wrath ;MS, MPD, FCR, FA for 35.6k DPS with tri-totem. For my character with 105% MD from tree FA is superior to the MD gem. If you have less MD from tree+gear your result may be different. ------------------------ " Yeah the MPD<->Melee Splash swap is the one you would want to make. " I agree with your PoV ATM. The thing is I'm running max level 70 maps. I wonder if on higher maps melee splash may be beneficial against tough mobs. Currently I run splash on my zombies but not on raging spirit. Not sure how to determine whether splash is better on one or the other except play testing.

Damage effectiveness, for Raging Spirit and other skills, apply to flat damage only.
So, it apply to +flat damage from weapons, equipment (typically rings, amulets and gloves) and support gems such as added chaos damage, added lightning damage and auras such as Wrath and Anger. It doesn't apply to flat damage from spells anymore. Since Raging Spirit is a spell, Added Fire or Hatred aren't not affected by the 70% damage penalty. For any attack skills such as Sweep (75%), Groundslam (80%) or Heavy Strike, Added Fire and Hatred are indirectly affected by damage effectiveness because Weapons and Equipment are affected. Shadow : Covenant Pulser (504561)
Ranger : 12 charges Frenzy Archer (65154), Dual Claws Elemental ST (709126) Witch : Self-Cast Arc Tanky Witch (770185), AoF EK/Bear trap (863970) Templar : Frenzy + AB/Fireball "Cast on Crit" Wander (611200) Marauder : Death Oath Staff User (498864) |

if really hatred is not affected by dmg effectiveness, it will no doubt be the superior aura dps wise over anger and wrath.
with MD enough taken on tree and maybe gear then fastercasting-MPD-fasterattacks-multistrike is highly likely the best links also with anger+hatred+haste in a self cast perspective i can use arc totem with chain which makes it easier to proc EE than say ice spear/icenova totem with anger/wrath. |
