Hello. If the other thread is up then please disregard it.Given the 2.0.4 changes:
*Crit cap on pets are (seemingly) gone
*Primary skills got buffed
*Haunt got buffed
I'm guessing this opens up a lot of new builds(?) Especially some pet-centered ones. I am currently running with aPiranha/Corpse Bomb (+ Spirit Barrage and mana regen build) this seems almost obsolete in the light of these changes.
It may be #5 googled, but that means (if the above is correct) that it's the #1 googled game - suddenly it sounds even more respectable in a sense (imho!)
As far as the buffs go, they're usually considered buffs, though they're active all the time. Honestly it shouldn't matter much if you say unbuffed or buffed dps, imo, since most of your actual dps depends more on the build used. For example, with the SNS build, I do about 600k dps. If I drop to Energy Armor, I only do about 400k. Either way my char sheet still shows 100k.
Oh for sure, I know that it doesn't "matter" in a personal sense. However when grouping up people -always- use sheet DPS as a tool of comparison whether you're welcome in their group or not, usually based on a quick "View hero" (accordingly to my experience). Getting declined to ubers/key runs on a high MP because "your DPS is too low" is my main motivation to even look at sheet dps
Though thank you!
Edit: Also doing my key runs on MP6 now, but ubers on 5 due to a certain pesky uber mage who loves his Slow time spell.
Edit's edit: >.< oh and gratz on selling the bracers for an immense amount of money and an increase to your dps!
Made my goal of 100k dps today (With Magic Weapon)
(And with it 41k HP, 600 All res, 1000 LoH, 2.31 atk%, 42% crit, 200% crit dmg)
Does passives like Magic Weapon, and Glass canon count as "buffs" when people post their "unbuffed" DPS?
Thanks for all the support I've gotten here, it truly helped me quite a lot
Next goal!: 100k Sheet dps without magic weapon
Neck (Got 3 set of Blackthrone's now) and Pareto-improving the off hand next
Thanks a bunch! I'll give those sites a peek after college no doubt
Also some updates about current problems with boosting "Damage/DPS" further:
The neck and legs are definitely bottle necks: But they are also the only LoH I got and got a really nice vitality set bonus Main Hand/Off Hand: Chantodo's set bonus is both an immense boost to defense and attack. Replacing either piece would need to give a raw improvement of 130+ int (for breaking the set) and then further improvements to make it worth it in the first place (That would also give 15~ APOC combined)
However: I managed to boost both my vitality and all res, as well as atk%. I feel as if "Crit Damage" is something I'm somewhat starved of now
Maybe I could get some huge int boosting legs, find a neck with atk%, crit%, LoH and then replace a ring and find something with LoH. Thoughts? (2nd ring slot is reserved for hellfire =) )
I'm thankful for any further advice, tips or suggestions!
I'll look into all your suggestions, thank you very much!
Are there any way to preview sheet DPS before spending millions on the item?
Edit: I replaced my gloves. I ended up losing 2k sheet DPS, but the gain in All res / Vit / Crit% / Atk% was too hard to pass on.
Edit's edit: Got a mempo too, losing the APOC/LoH went just fine, thank you very much for that suggestion!
Also changed my Vile Ward to a piece with vitality, raised my HP quite a bit too.
I feel very uneasy about replacing the source as I have no idea whether or not it's a sheet gain or loss DPS (I mostly care about this because groups has the tendency of denying/ridiculing low sheet DPS players)
Hello everyone! I've put a lot of time and effort into my wizard, but compared to the rest I feel that he's somewhat low on "Damage" (69k~ UB)
I know that my crit chance is somewhat low to run a CM efficiently, but I plow through MP5 easily, farm keys without dying and doing uber bosses with ease, all of which solo on MP5.
What I am wondering is: Are there any relatively cheap (< 10ish mill) investments I could do that would significantly boost my numbers -without- sacrificing too much defense? The few times the ice break I'm quite squishy and feel that going with any less VIT/All ress wouldn't be beneficial almost no matter how much damage I'd gain.
