In that setup, Phase Run is self cast because it's outleveled being triggered by CWDT. It's setup in that way to allow PR to proc Arcane Surge which can then be supported by the Inc. Duration support gem.

What do you guys think about going for 6 Link Frenzy+Curse on Hit warlord's mark in chest? It would potentially free up ring slot (could go two ventor's for MF setup)

Why is it that in PoB there is a 230% increase spell damage on the indigon and 100 something attack or cast speed on the vertex? i was trying to figure out why my PoB was so low compared.

Thanks

the spell damage is used to simulate indigon stacks (spell damage per mana spent), this is different for every character depending on max mana, regen, leech etc

the cast speed is used to simulate the procs from poets pen and depends on your attack speed and cooldown recovery speed.

I was wondering where is this dps coming from. In POB you give us there is a The Vertex Helm with %170 Casting Speed. There is no item in this game on my search on Poe trade???

Removing this casting speed lose you 915k dps. Your total dps is 726k not 1.6m???

This has been covered numerous times and is also mentioned in the OP I believe. The added cast speed is to bring your Arc in line with the attack speed on your Frenzy. PoB does not take the increased cast speed (procs from Poet's Pens) into account naturally, so the OP adds it in on an item, in this case the helm, to help show true damage.

If you notice on the Indigon setup he also added in % spell damage, and this is to take the increased damage from mana expense provided by the Indigon into account. Again, this is not something that is naturally done by PoB.

I'm wondering what I might be doing wrong, here. I'm currently 100% deleting map packs even in tough guardian maps....but boss damage feels super low. Guardians, delve bosses, pure breachstone bosses and even t15 bosses die so dammed slow.

I wonder if somehow my attack speed is off and causing fewer procs or something due to slipped casts.

I have shaper ring with warlords mark ring combo, 4 pens, electric weakness gloves, using auls over chayula since I have vile bastion, and have a wrath and es on hit watchers eye.

Some notable things I know could be better...aspect of the spider, better other jewels (currently ones I have are filling in stat and resist gaps) and gems have a couple more levels.

Still. I am failing to see how those would make the difference between snails pace boss killing and straight up boss deletion.

Profile should be public, would appreciate any and all input.

How much mana does one actually need to function? Full activation of everything - including Spider and Artctic - leaves me with 31 mana as things currently stand. This of course isn’t enough. Leaving out Artic gives me 179, which is more than plenty. I have some leveling to do still on my Artic-Wrath-Thunder link (to enlighten 4), but will those handful of levels yield sufficient mana reduction such that I can sneak Arctic back in?

So a couple gear questions:
For helmet whats the best dps enchantments?

For poet's pen is any corruption better then the implicit spell damage?

I'm curious about helmets if not going indigon or vertrex what do you think might be better? thinking for harder rippy maps and deep delving?

Don't you actually lose tons of dps with indigon? Only 100 mana regen/sec, 45+ base 6L frenzy cost, only 250-550 mana left (depends on setup), and a slow default mana leech rate. Frenzy quickly becomes a 200+ mana cost skill. You're attacking with your weapon instead of using frenzy after a few attacks and lose tons of PP procs.

Hello Okanitu,

To start off, your APS is actually a bit high, you want it around 3.75(ish) but you're currently sitting at 4.07-4.08, the result of which would be skipping during your casts.

Your jewels can definitely use some improvement as you're lacking in critical strike multiplier. I believe your multiplier is currently sitting around 330%, mine by comparison I believe is 550%.

You can use some blessed orbs on your chest to get it up to 10% spell damage, not a big deal but it is free damage sitting there.

I would quality your Herald of Thunder as well as Lightning Pens... Other than that I would work on improving your gems, swapping to Presence of Chayula and sorting out your fire res so you can run all of the auras you need.

Your dexterity is quite high, so you can gain some possible damage mods on your jewels or other items by lowering it.

I would also consider throwing a Wise Oak into your flask setup, 15% additional lightning pen helps.

Other than that I would work on getting higher level gems (21/20's eventually).


PS: I would probably consider quality(ing) your Vertex, that is free ES.
