Guys, have you checked "+150% increased effect of the buff granted by your flame golem" helmet enchantment? It gives a massive boost in overall DPS in POE building, but I'm almost sure that it's a bug.

It's dependent on the build, but I think Lightning Golem buff would give you more overall DPS than Flame Golem. But it may or may not be more DPS than 40% Dmg / 12% Cast Speed DP buff.

So, it's a bug?

Depends on the context of the PoB. The only difference in this case is the cast speed. So yeah, something is messed up. Adding one more cast per second wouldn't raise your DPS by that much. Double check your configurations and settings because it doesn't do that for me.

That's author's build. Forgot to mention that 10x Wither Totem enabled.
Anyway, ty for an answer, that was strange from the very beginning.

I just checked on PoB and it seems legit and not bugged to me.

my lightning golem is 21/20 that means i get 10% extra cast speed form it. 150% inc buff of the lightning golem gives us 15% extra cast speed. I checked stats and i get the same overall cast speed values by taking the dark pact cast speed enchant and adding 3% cast speed on the tree (12% + 3%).

so good find Vladilen3 , this enchant is indeed better than the dark pact one. Moreover it also increase the wither totem cast speed meaning wither stacks are added faster and i'm pretty sure it's a lot cheaper.

but keep in mind that a 12% increase cast speed all the time may in the end be better than a situational 15% because the golem dies and is not up 100% of the time (it depends on the bossfight).

Yeah, that's a legit 3% increased cast speed, you're right.
But things start to mess up when you turn your Arcane surge skill. That's a bug, I think?
Because I get about 300k additional DPS.

+3% cast speed should not equate to +.86 cast rate and +362,147 DPS (+32% DPS). Something else is in play here.

But like I said, it may or may not be more DPS due to golem availability. I've considered this enchant before, but ultimately decided to aim for DP Damage or Speed due to consistency. I'm okay with the 0.8% DPS loss on the Golem Enchant because I know it won't always be up.

Great Build!

I am currently stuck with my dps and i have no clue what i can really change to make it comparable. Any help would be pretty welcome!

Sure, there is an issue with Vladilen3 pre-lightning golem enchant stats. with dark pact enchant i have 9.62 cast/sec, not 8.94. But it's good to know that the golem enchant can be a good one too, especially for people struggling to get a DP enchant that are expensive now. i'll stick to DP cast speed too, it's more reliable.

i also noticed that DP damage enchant is a tiny bit better than cast speed in my current PoB. Before cast speed was quite significantly better (i've checked multiple times), i don't know if it's the result of a PoB update or my gear evolution changed the trend.

Upd.: Yeah, found the reason. I had an outdated PoB, now everything is ok. :)
