Apologies ahead of time if this has been covered, but I haven't been around here for awhile. So, I have two different off hands - Triumvirate and Tal Rasha's Unwavering Glare.
The Triumvirate is 54-327 damage, 6% to fire, 5% to arcane/lightning, 164 Int, 8.5% crit chance, and 14 max AP, 90 str, and 85 vit.
The Tal Rasha is 115-441 damage, 179 Int, 10% crit chance, 11 max AP, 10 APOC, 7% Shock Pulse damage, and 103 vit.
At a glance, I would think the Tal Rasha to be the higher damage option, but, based on my character sheet number, it's around a 5.3k DECREASE compared to the Tri. So, what gives? Am I missing something in the calculation? I imagine it has to do with the flat % elemental damage increase or possibly the max AP? I have no idea and was wondering if someone could explain the discrepancy.
The +elemental damage gets applied to the physical damage portion of your weapon damage. This is why a black weapon (all physical, no elemental) and triumvirate does so much damage.
The answear is that triunviriate adds 16%! to ure weapon "black" damage. If ure using a Chantodo main hand its less noticeable than if ure using a black weapon ofc, since Chantodo black dps is 50% and it has another 50% of fire dmg i think.
Wizards usually use triunviriate for a archon spec and chantodo offhand or tal rasha for cm spec bcs of the apoc.
I hope i helped and answeared correctly.. any other more experienced wiz could give u a better insight
