Ok I have a lvl 70 demon hunter. I want to replace gear but I have a problem. (Fletchers Pride, 585dex, 19% attack speed, 10% life, 1.27 hate per sec, 122 exp per kill, 9max disc, reduce all resoirce cost by 8%. Lvl required 69.
I I would like to replace my Vile Sachel. 474 dex, 427vit 15% attack speed, 8% crit chance, 9max disc. Req lvl 61.
Problem is that the fletchers pride LOWERS my damage.... wtffffff is that??? How is that even possible? But this problem is with every piece of gear that has crit chance. Crit chanve for some strange reason trumps dexterity. Rings and all... if I replace a piece of gear and lower my crit chance, I suffer huge drops in damage regardless of the dexterity on the new item. As if dexterity does not increase my damage and it solely relies on crit chance. I play on PS4 so if someone could explain this to me id really appreciate it. I cant seem to upload a pic from my phone as that is how im posting this so sorry for any typos. The stat change for swapping this gear lowers my damage, lowers my armor somehow.... and increases my life per second regen... how the heck?????
The damage you see in the character sheet is an estimated damage per second value that is calculated by many things that are based off your weapon damage. Things that go into that calculation are main stat, cc, chd, elemental % dmg...
If you lose 8% crit chance you will obviously have a smaller chance of outputting high damage in the form of crit hits... Therefore an overall drop in your total dps estimation (sheet dps)...
Not sure if i was clear enough but i hope that answers your question.
Hey guys thanks!!!! I didnt know those were estimates. I was under the impression that thry were solid damage output numbers. You guys explained it perfectly. Thanks!
