thanks for the calc! I assume under "Your stats" the "Increased Damage%" is a total aggregate of all modifiers and does not differentiate from Elemental dmg increase and attack damage increase etc etc. yes?
I feel you. Bought a weapon which I thought would double my dps. Barely 20% increase. This tool will help sooo damned much. Would prefer a “preview “ option within the game though.
My best weapon is an Advanced Slicing QS with 388 max phys and +4 melee. I think I was lucky with with the +4, because my Chaos Inoculation build happens to have oodles of mana. It's funny this thing is by far superior to anything else that graced my currency slot, and it's something I think I started mapping with. From tier 1. I have one divine orb now, and I thought I could easily buy a better weapon with it. But no. Apparently my Advanced staff is already beyond that price range.
Happen to me as well. Had a 15 ex weapon that I've been running through T1-T14 and recently purchased a 5 DIV weapon assuming it'd be the better but only got 2% increased in dps. Fortunately I was able to find a buyer but it did scare me lol. Edit: I really hope poe2 integrates the market in game and adds tools to clearly explain to new players what is considered a "better" gear.
Thanks for the work! After looking at your calculations, i noticed some additional important informations: - %inc ele damage gets you more value if you dont already have a lot of %inc damage on tree/items, ik, kinda self explanatory as its not a "more" stat, but maybe not obvious to everyone - as this sheet cannot / does not factor in penetration (from sources like ascendancy node for monk): CRIT CHANCE is very very important. even more than calculated here as it will increase your damage output significantly through penetration (especially on bosses!) - IF you have Cold Infusion on your Ice Strike: your Lightning / Fire Damage on the weapon (or other sources) will be less effective for this skill. Its not really that important, but keep it in the back of your mind. Similar to that are conditional modifiers for specific Ele damage (like +50% Cold Damage from Herald passive node): this applies as +50% AFTER conversion of 80% phys to cold. - keep other stats in mind (as he stated in the video too^^): % block chance or even AS as very high AS will eat your mana (same with +lvl of gems) With this: i want my pob! Neeeed it so much xD
crit chance does help; however, I use Heavy Frost to ignore resists against frozen enemies, and I murderize most bosses while they are frozen, you can check my trial of the sekhema video I just posted as a ref
Bought 2 warstaffs of equal level and damage. One was pure physical with +4 to melee skill gems and the other was split lightning/phys with added elemental. Both had mana leech. Both cost 1 Exalted. Dps ended up being exactly the same, but the +4 skill gem drained my mana while the lightning staff left me mana positive. You just need to know your build before blowing large amounts. Until then, buy multiple and use the best one and resell the rest.
Excellent tool and demonstration. Appreciate the upload and all of your Monk content. I just hit lvl 90 today and it's all due to your killer info, tips, and guides. 💯
I'm assuming since the verbiage on critical damage bonus on the staff is % to critical damage bonus instead of % increased critical damage bonus, it's additive to your base critical damage and then gets multiplied by all your % increased critical damage bonus. That explains the astronomical increase on weapons with the crit bonus modifier. I don't think your spreadsheet accounts for this so when I bought a weapon that showed a 20% increase in comparison to my current weapon, it actually made my sheet dps go down by 10k. I put the weapon back on the market so no big deal.
Sweet. I ended up making this myself when trying to figure out if crackling quarterstaff was good. It wasn't I then got a nice 8 ex staff. The 45 and 59 div staffs cost a lot more but weren't too big of a dmg increase.
Hearing you talk about T1 stats on the god weapon threw me for a loop until i remembered thats how they did it in PoE1. I kinda wish they wouldnt have flipped it around and kept t1 the highest
If you have the means and mana a cool thing weapon lvl does is increase the number of hits of bell and also the % evasion and hit from winddancer. If only adding it to formulas was not such a PITA
What's the score for a 1div or 2 div warstaff you guys reckon? An unintended benefit is this lets me know which passives are better if I have to choose between some +crit chance or +crit bonus.
On dps tooltip crit dmg will almost always give you higher total dps but if you have crits ignore elemental res or relying on crits to one tap rooms, crit chance nodes are actually better for QoL
another thing to keep in mind is what kind of skill you're using. if it has a long wind up or has a + total seconds to attack time, attack speed isn't going to do much for you
Was excited to see this, to figure out what if I could find an upgrade for my weapon. It said one sitting in my inv was 35% better, but after trying it out it performed worse. Not sure exactly what is going on but something is def not right..
Thank you for the sheet, it helps me in SSF when i dont know if a vendor Staff is stronger than mine overall, and i dont have to waste 15k 20k gold to find out!
Levels to skills is such a scam. I keep tempest flurry at level 14 to keep mana cost down when bossing. I've considered unskilling elemental expression for bosses. Best way to convince people is to tell them you have 0 dps when out of mana.
Any chance you could add the advanced versions of the quarterstaffs to the tool? I simply can't use it until I get an expert version of a quarterstaff and I'm fairly certain a lot of others who don't own an expert one are having the same issue perhaps?
Thanks for the effort, But I'm doing Acolyte version and there is significant difference with how it works. Rather than having Crit I have extra chaos damage procs so i should probably focus on pure elemental damage and attack speed for myself.
Idk if this is good or not but this is what I did. I got the Collapsing Horizon Wyrm Quarterstaff (unique quarterstaff) with 9.58 crit and +2 to all levels. I find that this merely 127dps staff outperforms my 650dps because the crits become more consistent. I then rearranged my passive tree to get more crit stuff. I've had to use inspiration on my ice strike and a lot of mana leech/on kill on other gear but I do believe that this is budget friendly (maybe 5 div for full gear+weapon) since the staff was quite cheap so at the time I decided to just keep it. If any monk wants to ask question, feel free to ask.
Really? That’s super confusing. I would never have considered any staff with such low dps to be more powerful than one with 650 dps just because of 9.8% Crit.
thanks for video 😊Increased element damage did mot show up on ice strike dps right? Question 1.dps total 600 2.dps550 with increased elemental damage Which one better? thanks for reply
Thanks for this, and your content - hope things are going well Just a thought, might be too much effort, but to make this useful for lower level, or people still leveling up, needs the lower end qstaffs
Glad you are helping break this stuff down for people. 95% of stuff on the market is way overpriced. Currency over inflated really quickly with most players current mindset sitting at "Better to save to buy then try to roll" So now most people want at least a divine for mediocre crap.
Would it be possible, and maybe make it simpler, to make it work so that you just unequip your weapon and then input your stats with no weapon in hand to use to calculate with?
@@DonTheCrownno need to apologize! Was just hoping to help! 😊 Thank you so much for all of the information you’ve been providing, it’s incredibly valuable. 🙏
Is adding Ele Dmg% in runes the same as adding it onto the modifier? Since you have separate lines for Runes I'm wondering if it calculates differently
hey brother love your videos, but you should add a section where we can put in our crit chance percentage if you know how so we can see if it adds more or less damage when we are like say over 69 crit chance or under
intentionally 3% dmg for 13% mana is one of the leading causes of people asking why they cannot sustain mana, its not a really good stat the plus is not worth the minus
Where to find the following stats? I'm looking in the ice strike stats but only find 2 that correspond Increased Crit % + Crit % Crit DMG Bonus Increased DMG %
Hey @DonTheCrown At 5:40 you talk about rolling out the lines somehow. How do you determine what lines are rolled out? I know theres an item, but how do you see the criteria? Im a little confused how to do that
second day of launch i was still levelin my warrior while i had the idea lets shop early for my next class the monk. Snatched a 275-520 , 175% phys with 22-45 added phys warstaff with 18% attack speed, +6 level to melee skills for 15 exalts which i corrupted for 3rd iron rune slot and Ive never looked back. What i did is i kept my spammin ice strike skill to lvl 15 + 9 added from amulet / weapon / gloves and im doin fine, currently lvl 93 on my way for the 3rd citadel.
Help a noob out, your gear is a slight improvement on mine and our passive trees are pretty close but you ice strike DPS is 200k mine is 12k why is that?
Have you checked his update on the skill gems? It made it go from 45k to 70k for me as well. And the rest is maybe cold damage on his rings etc. Higher Crit dmg bonus also very good to see your dmg number go up.
I noticed that increased ele damage to attacks makes huge difference, is that the case? thank u for this tool btw! almost spent 2 divines on weapon that is basically same as mine lol
would there be a way to yoink the info from a dump if u copy the item from in game with alt control c? like a place to directly paste into on the sheet
Slightly off topic but have you done the Breach Pinnacle boss at difficulty 4? My monk is struggling hard. He starts doing 2 types of attacks at once and I cant get any hits in :(
does this take your flat ele att or phy att from gloves & rings into consideration? ele % att could be a huge diff if someone have full lightning att from HOWA and rings, which could add up to like 500 lightning att. vs phy or crit dmg
I thought #% increased elemental damage with attack is local to the weapon, or at least that's what poe2db imply. Does it actually globally affect attacks elemental damage ?
normally "increased xx" is not locally and thus not a "more" stat (so... increased^^). different to that is the crit damage and crit chance as "to xx". this adds top your weapon stats and is multiplicative with your other "increased" values
it is 100% a global modifier and falls into the same bucket as other increased damage mods, the reason it is so strong is because we dont get a lot of increased in poe2 and the number is high on weapons
Hi Don! I had a question if you happen to see this as you may know. I currently have a 700 physical DPS staff and according to the spreadsheet this is still stronger than a 650 physical DPS staff with 100% increase elemental damage attack. Does that seem right? I feel like I've been possibly overvaluing elemental damage per attack even though it is still a great modifier. Or perhaps I did something off on the spreadsheet?
Is this heavily weighting % ele damage too much? Because I found a staff with 94% ele damage, no attack speed or flat phys and 2% crit and it's saying it's 20% better than my current. Current has no crit or ele dam % but 15% attack speed. Going to run a few maps to see if I can feel a 20% difference.
DonTheCrown with another good excel . If I can give you any feedback, would be possible to have this for any kind of physical weapon? Maces, bows, crossbows, etc... I know it's some works, but you have at least the base there to add the other weapons The excel man of games :P
How people get almost 200k DPS on your main gem? I'm 90 level Stormwave Sorc, i have almost same items with people who have high DPS but my Spark DPS is only 16k Same passives, same skills. but idk why.
We need PoB 2 so bad haha. My mind was blown after this video and Travics video. No telling how many good staffs I have trashed bc I thought they weren't good. I was all in on the all PDPS idea, not even looking at staffs with high ele/elemental damage. I tried equipping a few that had high rolls of these and my damage skyrocketed. I have a 580 PDPS staff which I thought was decent and it is but going to a 250 pdps weap9n with good ele rolls almost doubled my damage (according to PoEs ingame numbers... no telling what the reality is though.) Also, does anyone know if % elemental damage to attacks counts after phys to cold/lightning conversions or just before and to the initial added elemental damage from the weapon?
when youre min-maxing 2.6% can get really big, ive made 1% upgrades in PoE1 that were more damage than average builds full dps due to doing so much more
nah +levels is a bait, going from level 20 to 27 on ice strike is more than doubling your mana cost, this leads to you blasting through your mana against bosses very fast
Ya at 200+ hours I should have the gear I need drop. Poe trade is half the game right now it’s not looking good for first time players like myself, the hype train has left the building.
I’m lvl 88 and reached t16 maps but only found 1 divine. I’ve pretty much given up farming. I don’t feel like I can gear up anymore because I can’t find divines
@@aznboi890you gotta sort by exalts on the trade site. You can buy way better gear for a few exalts than what people list for 1 divine. It's just higher on list because the site calculates 1 div as 5 ex.
@@aznboi890 I am gonna annoy you, I got a divine drop during act 3 campaign and used it to buy a 2 charm slot belt. That was still when one divine was like 250 ex I could have had a totally juiced build without spending that divine but I am a noob and I didn't know better
I really don’t think increased rarity do much in finding more divines. Got 300% and don’t see any difference. More uniques maybe, but looks like currencies do not scale with rarity.
Hey don, how do you have 150k damage on your ice strike? I have a staff that is 278-489 in damage, but i only have 55000 damage on my ice strike. Im following your ice monk build btw, same passive tree . Cheers
generally its about 3% more damage for 13% more mana cost, ive helped dozens of people with 'mana issues' where they have +5 or more skill ranks on their weapons/gear and swapping to a lower dps weapon without ranks felt better
You wont be able to reach 80% crit chance without a gothic and it's important for the notable passive in the ascendance tree. THe base crit on the weapon makes your crit rate goes to the roof, fully spec on the tree not having a gothic staff will make you lose 20% raw chance to crit.
isnt it depending on your total crit chance of weapon (base + "to crit chance")? so basically it doesnt matter if you have a gothic with 11,5+3,5 = 15 or a crescent with 10+5=15% no?
@@modikin509 the max tier roll on crit is the same it goes to 6% I think. It's just 1,5% base crit diff but when you stack crit on tree it can result on a 20% raw crit loss. If you got a low roll on gothic and a high roll on crescent then yes crescent wil be better.
@@DonTheCrown Oh yeah forgot about that, could be better on bosses cause you don't freeze them instant, so untill you freeze them they don't have res shred. Aprreeciate you answered Don, like your content and following you since long.

Waiting for PoB2, normaly 06 january. Because right now, A LOT of items are overpriced and I really think that PoB2 will drop prices when people will see the 0 value of their items.
nah the reason items are overpriced is because GGG did not make their market able to calc the value of a divine correctly, right now it thinks it is still ~7ex so it sorts accordingly.
im a lvl 90 monk, i have a 720 dps warstaff, yet my ice strike damage sits at 26k dps and up to 50k, i notice u have a wooping 200k damage, how u have it so high?
Great tool, tried it today. Found a 51% upgrade but ingame it was only 18% Due to all the flat dmg mods from gear. Plezz add it to the bottom part of the sheet so i dont have to add it to both weapons in the compare.

The spreadsheet doesn't have the option to add "+ to all melee skills"
intentionally 3% dmg for 13% mana is one of the leading causes of people asking why they cannot sustain mana, its not a really good stat the plus is not worth the minus

I currently have a 700 physical DPS staff and according to the spreadsheet this is still stronger than a 650 physical DPS staff with 100% increase elemental damage attack. Does that seem right? I feel like I've been possibly overvaluing elemental damage per attack even though it is still a great modifier. Or perhaps I did something off on the spreadsheet?
Looks off to me?
100% increased is ~25% more dmg for me, so you either arent telling us all the details of both weapons or you messed something up
Is this heavily weighting % ele damage too much? Because I found a staff with 94% ele damage, no attack speed or flat phys and 2% crit and it's saying it's 20% better than my current. Current has no crit or ele dam % but 15% attack speed. Going to run a few maps to see if I can feel a 20% difference.
Report on how it went. Cause if so Runes(soulcores rather) of Eledamage is also an option.
DonTheCrown with another good excel . If I can give you any feedback, would be possible to have this for any kind of physical weapon? Maces, bows, crossbows, etc... I know it's some works, but you have at least the base there to add the other weapons
The excel man of games :P
Will this work for other weapon types? lol... Also tired of looking to see if upgrades are worth blowing currency on.
not yet but you could add bases
can someone link his video about removing mods? did not find it
here: th-cam.com/video/3kai4jM8eeg/w-d-xo.html
if I want to test elemental dmg from atk soul core, can I just add that to the ele dmg% ?
yup should be the same scaling
How people get almost 200k DPS on your main gem?
I'm 90 level Stormwave Sorc, i have almost same items with people who have high DPS but my Spark DPS is only 16k
Same passives, same skills. but idk why.
dont compare different skills for dps, tooltip isnt great at that
How about level to melee skills?
big bait, see end of the video
We need PoB 2 so bad haha.
My mind was blown after this video and Travics video. No telling how many good staffs I have trashed bc I thought they weren't good. I was all in on the all PDPS idea, not even looking at staffs with high ele/elemental damage.
I tried equipping a few that had high rolls of these and my damage skyrocketed. I have a 580 PDPS staff which I thought was decent and it is but going to a 250 pdps weap9n with good ele rolls almost doubled my damage (according to PoEs ingame numbers... no telling what the reality is though.)
Also, does anyone know if % elemental damage to attacks counts after phys to cold/lightning conversions or just before and to the initial added elemental damage from the weapon?
how is the ice strike 200k damage :O?
I wouldn’t describe a 2.6% dps increase as “really pulling ahead.”
when youre min-maxing 2.6% can get really big, ive made 1% upgrades in PoE1 that were more damage than average builds full dps due to doing so much more
what about mele level skill +++ ?
I have a low dmg staff with +6 mele lvl. Does huge damage for skills. So thats a factor to keep in mind.
Increases mana cost by a lot tho
@@v0llm1lch well thats compromisable, later on everything costs a lot.
nah +levels is a bait, going from level 20 to 27 on ice strike is more than doubling your mana cost, this leads to you blasting through your mana against bosses very fast
@@DonTheCrown thats why you have 2 weapon slots
Why the Crescent instead of the Gothic?
Best I can do is sort by exalts, set the max to 50 and pick the highest dps staff because rarity is broken in this game and I don't have any divines.
Ya at 200+ hours I should have the gear I need drop. Poe trade is half the game right now it’s not looking good for first time players like myself, the hype train has left the building.
I’m lvl 88 and reached t16 maps but only found 1 divine. I’ve pretty much given up farming. I don’t feel like I can gear up anymore because I can’t find divines
@@aznboi890you gotta sort by exalts on the trade site. You can buy way better gear for a few exalts than what people list for 1 divine. It's just higher on list because the site calculates 1 div as 5 ex.
@@aznboi890 I am gonna annoy you, I got a divine drop during act 3 campaign and used it to buy a 2 charm slot belt. That was still when one divine was like 250 ex
I could have had a totally juiced build without spending that divine but I am a noob and I didn't know better
I really don’t think increased rarity do much in finding more divines. Got 300% and don’t see any difference. More uniques maybe, but looks like currencies do not scale with rarity.
Hey don, how do you have 150k damage on your ice strike? I have a staff that is 278-489 in damage, but i only have 55000 damage on my ice strike. Im following your ice monk build btw, same passive tree . Cheers
More links and jewels probably
I'm sure it's skill dependent to some degree (what skill is the math based on actually?), but is level of melee skills worth including?
generally its about 3% more damage for 13% more mana cost, ive helped dozens of people with 'mana issues' where they have +5 or more skill ranks on their weapons/gear and swapping to a lower dps weapon without ranks felt better
@@DonTheCrown Awesome, thanks for the info! Mana tradeoffs are real.
I dont get why this option isnt in the game in the first place
Yeah it really sucks on ps5, on mobile is really a handicap
You wont be able to reach 80% crit chance without a gothic and it's important for the notable passive in the ascendance tree. THe base crit on the weapon makes your crit rate goes to the roof, fully spec on the tree not having a gothic staff will make you lose 20% raw chance to crit.
isnt it depending on your total crit chance of weapon (base + "to crit chance")? so basically it doesnt matter if you have a gothic with 11,5+3,5 = 15 or a crescent with 10+5=15% no?
not every monk build is using that, I use Heavy Frost to zero out res of frozen enemies
@@modikin509 the max tier roll on crit is the same it goes to 6% I think. It's just 1,5% base crit diff but when you stack crit on tree it can result on a 20% raw crit loss. If you got a low roll on gothic and a high roll on crescent then yes crescent wil be better.
@@DonTheCrown Oh yeah forgot about that, could be better on bosses cause you don't freeze them instant, so untill you freeze them they don't have res shred. Aprreeciate you answered Don, like your content and following you since long.
i dont understand where i can find my own stats like Increased

am i dumb? :D
gotta count stuff up from your gear and tree
Is elemental base warstaf bad ?
i just get one .. maelstorm pile expert crackling quarterstaf
Adds 46 - 83 Fier
Adds 64 - 109 cold
76% elm increased whit attak
27 speed attak
2.36 crit chanc
Can anyone tell me?
crackling is pretty bad base, no phys so never leech and cant scale from % phys
💔@@DonTheCrown
It was my first div 🥲
Waiting for PoB2, normaly 06 january.
Because right now, A LOT of items are overpriced and I really think that PoB2 will drop prices when people will see the 0 value of their items.
nah the reason items are overpriced is because GGG did not make their market able to calc the value of a divine correctly, right now it thinks it is still ~7ex so it sorts accordingly.
@@DonTheCrown Oh and obviously thank you for your tool. It helped a lot to find cheap upgrades :)
thanks :)
im a lvl 90 monk, i have a 720 dps warstaff, yet my ice strike damage sits at 26k dps and up to 50k, i notice u have a wooping 200k damage, how u have it so high?
better weapon, better jewels, higher level and more passives, also note this is my MF gear so I get nearly 300k with different rings
DonTheKing!!
Is rage on hit worth it on weapons?
Not to my knowledge, you want that on jewels or a skill you spam.
You're the Boss
Would you think 21% is worth it?
How do you account for +melee skills on warstaffs?
This doc doesn't do it, because you generally don't want that mod anyways.
Great tool, tried it today. Found a 51% upgrade but ingame it was only 18% Due to all the flat dmg mods from gear. Plezz add it to the bottom part of the sheet so i dont have to add it to both weapons in the compare.
Nice gameplay
198k DPS WTF? Im at 33.7k lev 80 Monk and mostly followed your build....something is off here.
you probably need a weapon and jewel upgrade then
@@DonTheCrown No weapon is gonna give me 150k more DPS, not even if i had the currency to buy one, 45 ex and 2 div aint getting you shit. thx to all the no lifers that farm all day.
I need the best warstaff 5 devines can buy hook me up g
Wyrm staff
@@Donkie what rolls on it gang
❤❤
Tier 1 is the best tier on PoE 1, PoE 2 is the worst.

Google sheets price about to go to the moon
I have a 708 dps wep and my 328 dps weapon with 60% elemental dmg runes raises my attacks more by a tiny bit which im shocked
