50% u say in this vid is kinda wrong or missleading ..specially the clickbait title.. 10x damage my ass ... you only have 3500 mana as a archmage build (mana ist the most important) also crit spark ? lightning rod/noncrit is just better. also your shocks are only 25% i mean .. double shock is literally broken, you dont even know how to scale this build. your just doing alot of damage because the build is borderline broken. and stuff like "15%spelldamage is always worse than 15%crit multi" is just not true .. its usually bad to stack too much of one stat becasue each different stat will boost the others. like if u have an insane almount of base damage (archmage) and insane almount of cast speed 15%spelldamage (if u dont have too much already) is actually pretty good.
lightning road is overall +30% dps (at least that's what I heard in some spark build discussion) and is an expensive annoint. Crit build is point intensive but you can easily get twice your dps with around 30% crit chance and 275+ crit bonus which isn't that hard to get tho. (and you can get that nice icebreaker annoint if you don't have dream fragment). It's also a common modificators in both focus and wand and going lightning rod then reduce the amount of "good stats" you can get on gear
@@mascaroaxel4102 if you invest into crit u cant invest into shock effect too witch double dipps, castspeed and stuff + also shock effeckt with double shock is just better but ok. and lightning rod with 15%more max damage is crazy do the math. its way more than "just" 30%more. is more like 45-50%+ more. lucky damage makes you damage just way more consistant, rollin your damage twice is just brokenly good if you hit for 1-10.000 damage each spark. think about it like that the chance that you "lowroll" your spark is twice as low and the chance that you highroll is twice as high. ppl say its "30%more in math" but idk it feels way more than that.also going for shock effect is just better for lightning conduit with cast on shock (lets say u would do that on a crit build if u dont crit with your lightning conduit it will do no damage and also u wont have as much scaling with it because u wont have as much shock effect so it does even less damage) dont act like u know shit if u dont.
9:17 I've done some math and spreadsheets when min-maxing my build, it's worth pointing out that crit is not always better than damage increase. It's not very difficult to get to a point where +10% spell or lightning damage will give you more dps than +10% bonus critical damage. The key is the balance between these stats. You get your damage multiplied by (1 + sum of all increases to damage) and by (1 + crit chance * crit bonus), it's not that exponential. If one of these two multipliers is much smaller than the other, you get a lot by increasing it.
Local "+x% to critical damage bonus" on weapons is not the same as increased critical damage multiplier on passive nodes, jewels or armor pieces. It is another multiplier. Same as "+x% critical strike chance", but that is more obvious and already worked like this in PoE1. In PoE2, if we want to get big juicy crits, we need not just a weapon with a good chance to crit, we also need it to have the local critical damage bonus on it. So if you have a base crit multi of 100%, you deal 200% damage on a crit. With a total of 100% increased critical strike damage and no local multi, you would do 300%. With "+10% to critical strike bonus" local multiplier you would do 330% of base damage.

Figured this out a few days ago and just fed mana regen into it now i went from t 3 surviving to t10 in a respect more dps bc more mana and more uptime
the endgame where you walk the map and kill everything on sight seems very boring compared to the struggles I had to go through the campaign with my crappy gear :)
@@soggeovanie5484 exactly what I'm doing actually :) my plan is to play the entire campaign with all classes until they fix the Endgame where you lose the waystones in maps
The rng in the game doesn’t work properly. People with rarity on gear just now found out anything past 200 does nothing like yesterday or the day before. It could just be a fluke but these devs seem more like Diablo devs than first descendant devs.
I mean the journey to get there is kind of the main alure. From the end of the campaign/start of endgame to clearing T15 maps like this is a long way. And I doubt its going to be a boring one.
It's annoying that you can't remove gems so you can easily adjust resistances as needed. Like, that's just a dumb mechanic. It means when you get upgrades, you have to think about so many additional things.
Step 1: Have good gear. bro every piece of gear you got is better than anything I have ever found in the game. (Im lvl 62 Act 3 Cruel) So this is for endgame builds i guess. Great tips though. I didn't realize that the DPS shown in the chart doesnt accurately represent dps
His build doesnt do a lot of damage compared to more optimized builds but that wand is astronomically expensive. Take what he is showing you with a grain of salt. If youre just getting through act two at the moment, youll likely never find anything like his at all and if its on the market youll have to invest hundreds of hours to acquire it simply because of the trade inflation.
the dps shown in the chart DOES accurately represent dps is the thing though, but it only shows the dps of a single instance of the ability which is something he really should have explained rather than just telling you it's wrong. the dps it shows him is the exact average damage of his ability based on his crit, crit damage and cast speed. what it doesn't take into account is if a spell can hit a target multiple times or persists on the field for a duration because that damage is not feasibly able to be calculated due to the wild variance of possibilities. example: if your dps shows 100k and all you're doing is shooting an arrow, on average your dps will be 100k. however if that arrow pierces the target, bounces off a wall and hits the target again every second for 6 seconds, by the time you've shot the arrow 6 times you're doing ~3 million dps. BUT if there's no wall for the arrow to bounce off of you're stuck doing 100k dps, the sheet cannot calculate theoretical situations. much the same as his spark persisting on the ground, bouncing around and hitting multiple targets- each individual hit of that spark is doing 34k~ damage in a vacuum, it hitting multiple times due to a persistent projectile CANNOT be calculated.
I actually appreciate the “generalness” for lack of better words of this your video. I’m new and am in act three with still to much to learn and understand. Thank you
The skill page is really accurate, you just have to be smart enough to understand how that damage per hit or dps works in the game. Same as when you do scatter shot and you realize you take your damage times however many projectiles you shoot out if you hit all the same target.
Except that doesn’t apply to everything, IE Hexblast. Hexblast consumes the curses, causing an explosion which damages nearby monsters, so that damage isn’t calculated in. The skill page is accurate ONLY depending on your build. In most cases it is not accurate.
Another thing to take in consideration (at least for spellcasters like you are showing and especially because you chose sparks) is the magnitude of debuffs, in your case would be shock (20% more damage as base, more damage with more magnitude) but the same with ignite, etc. I would imagine for melee would be aggravating a bleed and maybe something else.
the part with cast-speed might not be incorrect but it seems very misleading if I do not misunderstand anything or undervalue +gem level tldr: wand + focus seems to give more %damage, mana for archmage, 48% increased cast speed and 25% dmg as extra fire dmg over the staff that only seems to have +1 to gem level without extra fire dmg the difference should be ~3400, cast speed might not be as good as advertised at approximately 8:00 35% spell damage on wand 64% lightning damage on wand 71% lightning damage on focus combined = 170% 153% spell damage on staff assuming spark is using lightning damage, the wand and focus should do more damage as a base without the cast speed. note that the wand also has 25% of damage as extra fire damage so the number 47,875 should be 125% of the damage because extra is a more multiplier. 47,875 * 0.8 is 38300 (5 fourths made to 4 fourths) The staff even seems to lower your mana for some reason if you look at it with your first vs second setup from 3600 to 3500 (7:16, 10:07). I assume 10:07 is the staff because of the damage numbers.
I think Witch is a bit unique, they get way more from the 100 spirit armor unique than any one else. Spirit way more important on Witch. And atk speed, cast speed and spell damage does not apply to your minions just you. You can get some for minions but way better to get spirit and levels to minions. I don't think it's as universal as you suggest.
Thank you to clarify my doubts. Another pro about “killing fast” is that helps you to get gold faster too. It gets really expensive to respec often to try new builds.
acceleration doesn't give dmg. its only time from your wand to enemy. but you will not produce more sparks in shorter time. Even acceleration doesn't work with passive skill for bows- increases speed of projectiles is equal to damage (increase is different multiplayer than more). Some skills take benefits of lowering speed - if they do constant dmg - not hit.
Good analysis of how op spark scaling which would 99% get butchered very soon when ggg back from vacation :P Rip Spark, you live way longer than Arsonist which is far weaker than spark and get nerfed unjustifiably cuz ggg notice it before their vacation.
I noticed how good Spark is early on. So I built around it. I grabbed nodes boosting damage, either flat .. lightning damage .. or 30% boosts per ailment applied. I effectively have 90% increased damage on bosses because I use Ice Wall, throw Spark through Firewall to ignite, and Spark itself applies the shock. Granted my gear isn't the best right now. I'm level 70 and wearing things close to twenty, if not more than that, below my level because of how crap my crafting and loot finding has been. Spark is only hovering around 1900 DPS. With the boost from ailments it climbs to 2400. Yet I've seen streamers with 20k or more. I don't know if my gear is the problem but I have plenty of damage boost sources, including the one that scales from mana. I'm thinking since i don't have the eye amulet and some other things that I'm missing a good chunk of DPS. I'm suspicious that it'll be nowhere near enough to close the gap on what I should be doing. Even yours is magnitudes better than mine.
Man, I’ve been using TH-cam for a long time. This video is single-handedly the most impactful and useful in terms of changing my damage output and enjoyment of a game. It has utterly transformed my character. Thank you.
I was following a witch minion build and was wondering why they wasn’t picking all these , minions do % crit damage. So I did it my self and oh boy, it did really make a difference.
Hey Tash! I’m trying to build a spark Archmage too but can’t seem to find a good build guide on Mobilitics or Maxroll. Do you have one for your build? I switch from a Mercenary to the caster recently
I'm doing the bombarding minions witch build. But I don't like to only see the fight, I'm casting as well and those cast speed rings are soo much good!
@@MTashed everything has a diminishing return, cast speed, increased damage, crit dmg, all of them. The correct thing to do is not "this stat is better than that stat", even though it might generally be true, the correct thing is "don't just get increased damage, get everything, try to balance it out. For example, you kept saying cast spd and atk spd is better than increased dmg. Well, numerically 1 small passive point in passive tree now is 3% speed. It is not better than an average 10% increased damage node in like the first 10 levels, maybe more. Problem really is, you have more sources to get increased damage than anything else, so it hits diminishing return so much faster.
I think you fail to explain why it is the case that some multipliers are more valuable than others, and that is because of diminishing returns. The more you invest into a certain stat (say spell damage) the less relative benefit you get from it. So in the end you kind of wanna balance things out. Most builds have a ton of spell damage available on nodes or weapons and then investing in more rare stuff like attack speed or crit chance is more worth it.
OK, this happens not surprised really, actually Lily pointed out at one of her vids that some new players (in this case a rather good new player) would think this game is easy when veterans don't, it's fine, give it time and this guy would start to see all things he thought was true, are true but very superficial, it's so much deeper than that.
You are also missing one of the biggest thing, which is each type of damage increase is on it's own braket ---> wihch mean for exemple if you have those 3 stats for exemple : 50% increase melee dmg 50% increase physical damage 50% increased damage with two handed weapons You base damage X is now X*1.5*1.5*1.5= X* 337,5% and not just 150% increased damage
So this only applies to skills which linger and can deal multiple times. Maybe say that initially because it doesn't apply to people using other abilities which do not linger in the same way.
This does not apply at all to my build at all, but that's okay. I enjoy the fact that there is so much build diversity in this game. I am running T15 maps with ease on my Gemling with mace, and the only attack speed modiferes I have are the multiple nodes that give extra damage and NEGATIVE attack speed. But that's perfectly fine because I one-shot the whole screen with just one boneshatter, and I one-shot bosses with a fully empowered sunder.
Word of warning to the non-mana stacking classes, don't do + to skills unless you have crazy mana sustain. I was at +10 to melee skills going oom after like 4 attacks on my monk lol Mana cost scales exponentially while damage scales linearly, there's def diminishing returns on skill level.
That is wrong they scale the same. level 10 spark is 18 mana > level 12 spark is 23 mana = 21% cost increase. the DPS goes from 709 > 904 which is also a 21% increase. you should be looking to scale your mana by 21% as well for obvious reasons.
I think you said some misleading things while trying to say the correct things. Basically what you want is to find out what stats add to each other and what stats multiply. In math, if A + B + C is always equal to X, then AxBxC is biggest when their value is closer to each other. What does that mean? If you have to choose between adding to 2 or 3 different multipliers (that multiply, and not add, each other, like cast speed and elemental damage for example), if the value added would be the same for all of them, the best choice would be the one you have less of. For example, take A = 1.5 (50% bonus), B = 1.2 (20%) and C = 2 (100%). If they multiply one another, you would be doing more damage if you remove a bit from the multiplier C and adding to B, bringing them closer together. Now for stats that are a chance, like crit chance and crit damage, your best bet would calculate using a mean damage. If you can add 50% crit damage but you crit chance is 50%, you could calculate that it would affect your overall damage by 25% (50% of 50%), because it would add 50% of damage only 50% of the time, so your mean addition would be 25%. However, it only works that way if the value added is the same of the the value removed from another stat. If you're adding less than you are removing, you'd have to calculate and/or test to see the best choice.
It seems to me that it is easier to stack the damage on ranger or monk than on caster, since you can get weapon with +flat damage, either physical or elemental. And the flat damage in this game is adding to the base before multiplying, unlike in gacha games we all know, where it is added after anything else is multiplied.
One unrelated question, i see on your character sheed that you have about 2100 life and about 3200 energy shield... Is that enough ? I see you are level 94, so quite a bit farther than me, i am level 74 with about same numbers and i am stressing a bit about my build that it seems that i have too low life and energy shield. I have some plans how could i theoretically get ES above 10k but i would have to nerf damage a bit, and maaaybe i could get life to 3k but it would be a bit expensive ( although i have some resourcess ) and would nerf my damage a bit as well. Do i need to shoot for those numbers for higher tier maps or am i fine as it is ?
hey, I'm playing cold-crit bloodmage, and heavily invest in ES + barrier invocation. Right now I'm on 1.7k hp and 12.5k ES at lvl 90, but my damage is kind of bad. Not sure if lightning builds are just absolutely busted now, or if I just don't have the same clear tools, but at least I can survive for pretty long. Not sure how I'll ever clear any breaches though.
@@xDawe36 yeah, i am lv 75 and i do tier 4 maps so far, so quite a bit lower. I clear breaches just fine in t4, but i would probably have problems in tier you do on lv 90. This is helpfull, i know a ball park to aim for. I think i can get 10k+ ES, i didnt took too many ES nodes yet ( for example that 60% ES node up there on the tree should help, good helmet and that 70% increased from helmet should help as well ), and could upgrade my gear towards more ES as well.
You will need that over capped resists when you get to maps that penalize you for up to 50% resists on the suffixes of juiced maps. I would not dump any over capped resists.
New player here. What I've been struggling with is actually finding/crafting these kind of items with the stats I want. I'm 60'ish in act 3 cruel and all I seem to find is crap and the ex orbs to roll the dice on crafting are still very rare. Maybe just bad RNG? I've blown ex on several items that looked like a good base but end up rolling thorns and light radius lol.
Can you explain how splitting our passive tree for a weapon swap works? Do we lose the damage when we swap bars? For example: if my tree on poisons is set up and I bar swap, do I lose that tree's benefit on the bar swap?
just something you may need to verify if it's true or not , as far as I know in poe 2 you can't bring resistances to the -ve as poe1 , the most they can go is 0 .. pretty sure a lot have tested it and verified that it was true but you can try and do your own verification , just thought I'd bring your attention to it
You can definitely go negative, the tooltip even says you can, and you'll take extra damage from that source Say if you have -5% lightning resist, you take 5% MORE lightning resist
@@poodlemeister22314 I meant the monsters themselves , you can't do penetration up to negative resistances if that makes sense , I may be explaining it badly but I just got the impression that penetration shouldn't be such a priority because of that
dude, it seems like you have no idea that attack speed is not on rings and amulets, is just cast speed so your whole talk is kinda wrong (4:47min) for other classes which doesn't use cast speed. better learn game basics before giving "guides"...
Not to mention, things that specifically affect spark, which pierces enemies and can hit many times per cast, like projectile speed and duration do absolutely nothing for warrior attacks.
Well obviously if you can't get the stats in that slot for your class, you need to find it elsewhere. I can't cover ever stat slot for ever character build
again... gamer. Obviously if this doesn't apply to you, don't do it. But I am showing that "sheet DPS" doesn't show the true value some of your gems and gear are providing. Use your brains people.
Joke's on you, 99% of my damage comes from Cast on Freeze, which isn't affected by attack speed at all. Crit chance and crit damage though, yes, that would work. But I am spread too thin between trying to not run out of mana while all those comets are dropping and stacking energy shield to survive a hit. Also realised that chaos damage is like everything that isn't elemental or a physical hit, so damage like poison or bleed is chaos. Only after realising this it dawned on me why the poison projectile crabs are my most feared enemy, since even just 4-5 hits can kill me easily (1.5k hp, 1.7k shield).
Skill level is a bit of a bait, as on higher levels you often get minimal %dmg increase relative to the absurdly increased mana cost. This is particularly bad for non-spell skills.
you cant, only Gemling Legionaire can do that with the ascendancy node, otherwise you can only use 1 copy of any support gem with other classes/ascend's
Sheet Dps is the worst egregiously misleading thing in the game. I dont follow a build guide so I tinker a lot with my build. I changed a few things with my monk that had me deleting mobs several times faster and destroying everything on my screen. I checked my dps and it said it was doing 2k more damage per second. That just plain untrue from what I'm seeing in game. We need a better way to confirm our damage numbers in game.
Thanks for the lessons man. Still there is something i dont get.I just finished cruel and get to the endgame with almost all negative resistances. How is that even possible? On light i am on minus 39 ,on cold minus 14 ,on chaos is plus 10 and on fire is better than others is plus 39. How i did finished cruel?
The info in the vid is pretty good although not all of it is applicable to every build for example my posion archers setup dosnt really gain anything from attack speed as it doesnt increase the rate of ticks its mostly just flat damage that scales it
How do weapon swap curses, or other spells really, work when you swap back to the other weapon? Do all skills snapshot to the weapon set skills + weapon stats even if they reapply on killing enemies or do they take your new weapon set into account?
in Poe 2, spark can chain (in passive nodes) if the spark chain. spark cant pierce if u dont take the nodes (amulet annointment) or put the pierce gem. always remember, spark that pierce will not chain. choose wisely.
@@redflag003 you mean the node in the tree with cast speed+ lightning damage in the center? What is the best thing, chain or pierce? also how does it interact with mana tempest fork?
Probably projectile skills, you can see how much damage you get just look at how much the skills increase dmg wise for the build you use and see if it’s worth
my witch does not care about spell speed. and changing the amulettes of my minions is a bit... hard. would be nice to have a dummy where i can see what my minions _really_ do in damage
I see a very bloody death on the horizon for this game if GGG don't start balancing the currency issues and trade. All the try hards are already hitting pinnacle bosses and asking stupid amounts in trade for what is considered must have gear that no one can afford. GGG gives you 300 spell choices on what will soon be 12 classes and multiple build scenarios but in reality only 3 builds per class are survivable, so what was to be an awesome game has become meh. Even obtaining waystones for higher tier nodes is a huge pain in the arse let alone storing them not counting the death penalties and loss of map nodes if you die. I am hearing a ton of people ask "where is the fun" in the game and unless you build a cookie cutter class setup then there isnt any. I know its early access but the new non POE players they captured initially wont be sticking around if the melee class still sucks in 3 months time.
I have this chest piece that increases enemy damage taken and reduces enemy damage dealt by 10%. Is this thing any good? It’s called Perfidy Knight Armor.
This is incorrect. Resistances have diminishing returns. Monster with 75% res gets 25% of the damage you deal. Having 25% penetration makes it 50% resistant, which means it takes 50% of damage you deal. That would be 2 times more. But if you add another 25% penetration it will be 75% of damage you deal, which is not double but only 50% increase compared to 25% penetration. So the more penetration you get the less value in stacking it. It is actually massive boost of damage at 50-70 penetration, but the more you get the less boost you get. There's also the thing with overcap, if boss has 75% resistance and you get a map mod that gives it +50, your 50 penetration will do nothing, because boss will still have 75% resistance and you only removed his overcapped res. So it's a bit complicated. I feel fine with 60-80 penetration on my build.

In PoE2, if we want to get big juicy crits, we need not just a weapon with a good chance to crit, we also need it to have the local critical damage bonus on it. So if you have a base crit multi of 100%, you deal 200% damage on a crit. With a total of 100% increased critical strike damage and no local multi, you would do 300%.

you can do all theory crafting you want, then you get into corrupted maps, get a boss with frenzy + mana drain aura in a tiny arena , and ye it's a boss not an elite with modifiers , and watch yourself explode in less then 10 sec.
That mana drain is no joke, man oh man
For anyone unaware regular crit chance on attack doesn't apply to spells, wand or staff. It has to specifically say spell crit chance
false. If it says crit chance, it works on spells. If it says crit chance to spells, it only applies to spells. you can try this yourself by checking crit chance on a spell and equipping crit chance.
@@curveofsound CRIT CHANCE applies to everything . crit chance ON ATTACKS only for weapon hits . crit chance ON SPELLS only for spells . simple . always reassure yourself from the tooltip infos

In my word, the last note is simply put "The more time you need to kill the boss, the more correct play to need to make."
4:55 good to note that for Physical builds, you want some gloves with Flat Phys or Elemental damage to Attacks and Attack speed as well.
Use archmage and stack mana. Saved you 17 minutes. You're welcome.
Figured this out a few days ago and just fed mana regen into it now i went from t 3 surviving to t10 in a respect more dps bc more mana and more uptime

Start a new char
@@soggeovanie5484 exactly what I'm doing actually :) my plan is to play the entire campaign with all classes until they fix the Endgame where you lose the waystones in maps
TRUE but that's what ARPG means
The rng in the game doesn’t work properly. People with rarity on gear just now found out anything past 200 does nothing like yesterday or the day before. It could just be a fluke but these devs seem more like Diablo devs than first descendant devs.
I mean the journey to get there is kind of the main alure. From the end of the campaign/start of endgame to clearing T15 maps like this is a long way. And I doubt its going to be a boring one.
It's annoying that you can't remove gems so you can easily adjust resistances as needed. Like, that's just a dumb mechanic. It means when you get upgrades, you have to think about so many additional things.
runes*
agree
No don't think. Look at resists. Socket a resist and move on.
Quit making life complicated.
They should just add a currency that removes runes
99% certain they will change it so you can choose to recover the runes and lose the item or keep the item and lose the runes.
I can see you're maintaining your Destiny 2 and Genshin reputation perfectly here.
Step 1: Have good gear. bro every piece of gear you got is better than anything I have ever found in the game. (Im lvl 62 Act 3 Cruel) So this is for endgame builds i guess. Great tips though. I didn't realize that the DPS shown in the chart doesnt accurately represent dps
Not really. You can use the trade website to get gear at low prices. I steamrolled through cruel by abusing that.
His build doesnt do a lot of damage compared to more optimized builds but that wand is astronomically expensive. Take what he is showing you with a grain of salt. If youre just getting through act two at the moment, youll likely never find anything like his at all and if its on the market youll have to invest hundreds of hours to acquire it simply because of the trade inflation.
yep, that dps meter is basically your base dmg without most multipliers. dps meter could show 20k dmg and you could deal over 10M dps.
the dps shown in the chart DOES accurately represent dps is the thing though, but it only shows the dps of a single instance of the ability which is something he really should have explained rather than just telling you it's wrong.
the dps it shows him is the exact average damage of his ability based on his crit, crit damage and cast speed. what it doesn't take into account is if a spell can hit a target multiple times or persists on the field for a duration because that damage is not feasibly able to be calculated due to the wild variance of possibilities.
example: if your dps shows 100k and all you're doing is shooting an arrow, on average your dps will be 100k. however if that arrow pierces the target, bounces off a wall and hits the target again every second for 6 seconds, by the time you've shot the arrow 6 times you're doing ~3 million dps. BUT if there's no wall for the arrow to bounce off of you're stuck doing 100k dps, the sheet cannot calculate theoretical situations. much the same as his spark persisting on the ground, bouncing around and hitting multiple targets- each individual hit of that spark is doing 34k~ damage in a vacuum, it hitting multiple times due to a persistent projectile CANNOT be calculated.
@@HOLLLLLYCRAP ^this
I actually appreciate the “generalness” for lack of better words of this your video. I’m new and am in act three with still to much to learn and understand. Thank you
You sir would make one hell of a used car salesman.
It's a video about grinding gear in a grinding gear game
The skill page is really accurate, you just have to be smart enough to understand how that damage per hit or dps works in the game. Same as when you do scatter shot and you realize you take your damage times however many projectiles you shoot out if you hit all the same target.
Except that doesn’t apply to everything, IE Hexblast. Hexblast consumes the curses, causing an explosion which damages nearby monsters, so that damage isn’t calculated in.
The skill page is accurate ONLY depending on your build. In most cases it is not accurate.
Ladies and gentlemen, the 10x video we were all waiting for is here. Happy new year everyone.
Another thing to take in consideration (at least for spellcasters like you are showing and especially because you chose sparks) is the magnitude of debuffs, in your case would be shock (20% more damage as base, more damage with more magnitude) but the same with ignite, etc. I would imagine for melee would be aggravating a bleed and maybe something else.
Extremely helpful, I'm stuck in act 2 and did not realize I've been doing everything wrong all along
Struggling to find residtances at the moment....
the part with cast-speed might not be incorrect but it seems very misleading if I do not misunderstand anything or undervalue +gem level
tldr: wand + focus seems to give more %damage, mana for archmage, 48% increased cast speed and 25% dmg as extra fire dmg over the staff that only seems to have +1 to gem level
without extra fire dmg the difference should be ~3400, cast speed might not be as good as advertised
at approximately 8:00
35% spell damage on wand
64% lightning damage on wand
71% lightning damage on focus
combined = 170%
153% spell damage on staff
assuming spark is using lightning damage, the wand and focus should do more damage as a base without the cast speed.
note that the wand also has 25% of damage as extra fire damage
so the number 47,875 should be 125% of the damage because extra is a more multiplier.
47,875 * 0.8 is 38300 (5 fourths made to 4 fourths)
The staff even seems to lower your mana for some reason if you look at it with your first vs second setup from 3600 to 3500 (7:16, 10:07).
I assume 10:07 is the staff because of the damage numbers.
Me playing a Damage over Time build : Ah yes... Cast speed.
2:45 If you are dead you are not doing damage.
Necromancer: My minions are a joke for you?
I think Witch is a bit unique, they get way more from the 100 spirit armor unique than any one else. Spirit way more important on Witch. And atk speed, cast speed and spell damage does not apply to your minions just you. You can get some for minions but way better to get spirit and levels to minions. I don't think it's as universal as you suggest.
Correct my Comet ka'millon storm Weaver also is not affected by Cast speed
Thank you to clarify my doubts. Another pro about “killing fast” is that helps you to get gold faster too. It gets really expensive to respec often to try new builds.
I've gotten to viper in act 3 with like 30% resistance by swapping gear for bosses and playing this game like a Souls game 😂
This is excelent information for new players! I have two stepbrothers who are new to PoE and this is exactly the type of info they need! Thank you!
acceleration doesn't give dmg. its only time from your wand to enemy. but you will not produce more sparks in shorter time. Even acceleration doesn't work with passive skill for bows- increases speed of projectiles is equal to damage (increase is different multiplayer than more). Some skills take benefits of lowering speed - if they do constant dmg - not hit.
Good analysis of how op spark scaling which would 99% get butchered very soon when ggg back from vacation :P
Rip Spark, you live way longer than Arsonist which is far weaker than spark and get nerfed unjustifiably cuz ggg notice it before their vacation.
I noticed how good Spark is early on. So I built around it. I grabbed nodes boosting damage, either flat .. lightning damage .. or 30% boosts per ailment applied. I effectively have 90% increased damage on bosses because I use Ice Wall, throw Spark through Firewall to ignite, and Spark itself applies the shock. Granted my gear isn't the best right now. I'm level 70 and wearing things close to twenty, if not more than that, below my level because of how crap my crafting and loot finding has been. Spark is only hovering around 1900 DPS. With the boost from ailments it climbs to 2400. Yet I've seen streamers with 20k or more. I don't know if my gear is the problem but I have plenty of damage boost sources, including the one that scales from mana. I'm thinking since i don't have the eye amulet and some other things that I'm missing a good chunk of DPS. I'm suspicious that it'll be nowhere near enough to close the gap on what I should be doing. Even yours is magnitudes better than mine.
Man, I’ve been using TH-cam for a long time. This video is single-handedly the most impactful and useful in terms of changing my damage output and enjoyment of a game. It has utterly transformed my character. Thank you.

Hey Tash! I’m trying to build a spark Archmage too but can’t seem to find a good build guide on Mobilitics or Maxroll. Do you have one for your build? I switch from a Mercenary to the caster recently
I just came here for a mash potatos recipe and now I want to play this game with

Mtashed, how is the trade in POE2 so far? I see you got some useful uniques. Are they "from the floor" or from the trade?
I'm doing the bombarding minions witch build. But I don't like to only see the fight, I'm casting as well and those cast speed rings are soo much good!
@ crit damage bonus section, increased is additive, not multiplicative
but the whole amount is a more damage multiplier
Everyone knows crit damage is additive with crit damage u idiot. But it's a multiplicative buff to your total damage
@@MTashed everything has a diminishing return, cast speed, increased damage, crit dmg, all of them. The correct thing to do is not "this stat is better than that stat", even though it might generally be true, the correct thing is "don't just get increased damage, get everything, try to balance it out.
For example, you kept saying cast spd and atk spd is better than increased dmg. Well, numerically 1 small passive point in passive tree now is 3% speed. It is not better than an average 10% increased damage node in like the first 10 levels, maybe more. Problem really is, you have more sources to get increased damage than anything else, so it hits diminishing return so much faster.
@@MTashed correct
Buckets
This is why I had to full respec my grenade gemling at end game. Grenades have big cooldown and caps your dps even with high attack speed.
Video summary: Have a bunch of powerful spare gear with different resistances on hand
I think you fail to explain why it is the case that some multipliers are more valuable than others, and that is because of diminishing returns. The more you invest into a certain stat (say spell damage) the less relative benefit you get from it. So in the end you kind of wanna balance things out. Most builds have a ton of spell damage available on nodes or weapons and then investing in more rare stuff like attack speed or crit chance is more worth it.
OK, this happens not surprised really, actually Lily pointed out at one of her vids that some new players (in this case a rather good new player) would think this game is easy when veterans don't, it's fine, give it time and this guy would start to see all things he thought was true, are true but very superficial, it's so much deeper than that.
You are also missing one of the biggest thing, which is each type of damage increase is on it's own braket ---> wihch mean for exemple if you have those 3 stats for exemple :
50% increase melee dmg
50% increase physical damage
50% increased damage with two handed weapons
You base damage X is now
X*1.5*1.5*1.5= X* 337,5% and not just 150% increased damage
It was only a matter of time before MChad dropped the famed video.
Hell yeah.
So this only applies to skills which linger and can deal multiple times. Maybe say that initially because it doesn't apply to people using other abilities which do not linger in the same way.
People watched you from Genshin and im over here since Destiny
Mtashed made a PoE vid, "genshin is dead", "he left genshin", ...
Definitely struggling to get better damage while not dying in one hit to every minor inconvenience.
It's a real hit/miss for me in tier ONE maps...Usually just get one shot or screen explodes...lvl 71 spark archmage sorc...yeah.....
@Scheckler27 I just hit lvl 80.
I'm mostly okay in up to 9s
This does not apply at all to my build at all, but that's okay. I enjoy the fact that there is so much build diversity in this game. I am running T15 maps with ease on my Gemling with mace, and the only attack speed modiferes I have are the multiple nodes that give extra damage and NEGATIVE attack speed. But that's perfectly fine because I one-shot the whole screen with just one boneshatter, and I one-shot bosses with a fully empowered sunder.
Word of warning to the non-mana stacking classes, don't do + to skills unless you have crazy mana sustain. I was at +10 to melee skills going oom after like 4 attacks on my monk lol
Mana cost scales exponentially while damage scales linearly, there's def diminishing returns on skill level.
That is wrong they scale the same. level 10 spark is 18 mana > level 12 spark is 23 mana = 21% cost increase. the DPS goes from 709 > 904 which is also a 21% increase. you should be looking to scale your mana by 21% as well for obvious reasons.
I think you said some misleading things while trying to say the correct things. Basically what you want is to find out what stats add to each other and what stats multiply. In math, if A + B + C is always equal to X, then AxBxC is biggest when their value is closer to each other. What does that mean? If you have to choose between adding to 2 or 3 different multipliers (that multiply, and not add, each other, like cast speed and elemental damage for example), if the value added would be the same for all of them, the best choice would be the one you have less of. For example, take A = 1.5 (50% bonus), B = 1.2 (20%) and C = 2 (100%). If they multiply one another, you would be doing more damage if you remove a bit from the multiplier C and adding to B, bringing them closer together. Now for stats that are a chance, like crit chance and crit damage, your best bet would calculate using a mean damage. If you can add 50% crit damage but you crit chance is 50%, you could calculate that it would affect your overall damage by 25% (50% of 50%), because it would add 50% of damage only 50% of the time, so your mean addition would be 25%. However, it only works that way if the value added is the same of the the value removed from another stat. If you're adding less than you are removing, you'd have to calculate and/or test to see the best choice.
It seems to me that it is easier to stack the damage on ranger or monk than on caster, since you can get weapon with +flat damage, either physical or elemental. And the flat damage in this game is adding to the base before multiplying, unlike in gacha games we all know, where it is added after anything else is multiplied.
Staff and wand have similar boosts it's just elemental focused. Can't have gems like the others though
Cast speed is good to a certain point eventually you get diminishing returns.
An exponential curve is a spiral. Specifically a logarithmic spiral.
You mean hyperbolic curve.
One unrelated question, i see on your character sheed that you have about 2100 life and about 3200 energy shield... Is that enough ?
I see you are level 94, so quite a bit farther than me, i am level 74 with about same numbers and i am stressing a bit about my build that it seems that i have too low life and energy shield. I have some plans how could i theoretically get ES above 10k but i would have to nerf damage a bit, and maaaybe i could get life to 3k but it would be a bit expensive ( although i have some resourcess ) and would nerf my damage a bit as well.
Do i need to shoot for those numbers for higher tier maps or am i fine as it is ?
hey, I'm playing cold-crit bloodmage, and heavily invest in ES + barrier invocation. Right now I'm on 1.7k hp and 12.5k ES at lvl 90, but my damage is kind of bad. Not sure if lightning builds are just absolutely busted now, or if I just don't have the same clear tools, but at least I can survive for pretty long. Not sure how I'll ever clear any breaches though.
@@xDawe36 yeah, i am lv 75 and i do tier 4 maps so far, so quite a bit lower.
I clear breaches just fine in t4, but i would probably have problems in tier you do on lv 90.
This is helpfull, i know a ball park to aim for. I think i can get 10k+ ES, i didnt took too many ES nodes yet ( for example that 60% ES node up there on the tree should help, good helmet and that 70% increased from helmet should help as well ), and could upgrade my gear towards more ES as well.
My question is how did he get to that level in 3 days played? Did you turbo all nighters?
You will need that over capped resists when you get to maps that penalize you for up to 50% resists on the suffixes of juiced maps. I would not dump any over capped resists.
Damn it, as a tanker, i cant get my dps that high, but i can tank bosses. And slowly bleed them to death. 30 mins for a boss? No problem!
I get the feeling this game is only played by Streamers. How many hours do you need to put into this game to learn all this stuff?
New player here. What I've been struggling with is actually finding/crafting these kind of items with the stats I want. I'm 60'ish in act 3 cruel and all I seem to find is crap and the ex orbs to roll the dice on crafting are still very rare. Maybe just bad RNG? I've blown ex on several items that looked like a good base but end up rolling thorns and light radius lol.
Do you have a video of your updated build?
I haven't seen mtashed since earlier d2 days. Kinda shocked to see this video
Can you explain how splitting our passive tree for a weapon swap works? Do we lose the damage when we swap bars? For example: if my tree on poisons is set up and I bar swap, do I lose that tree's benefit on the bar swap?
just something you may need to verify if it's true or not , as far as I know in poe 2 you can't bring resistances to the -ve as poe1 , the most they can go is 0 .. pretty sure a lot have tested it and verified that it was true but you can try and do your own verification , just thought I'd bring your attention to it
You can definitely go negative, the tooltip even says you can, and you'll take extra damage from that source

dude, it seems like you have no idea that attack speed is not on rings and amulets, is just cast speed so your whole talk is kinda wrong (4:47min) for other classes which doesn't use cast speed. better learn game basics before giving "guides"...
haha true
Not to mention, things that specifically affect spark, which pierces enemies and can hit many times per cast, like projectile speed and duration do absolutely nothing for warrior attacks.
Well obviously if you can't get the stats in that slot for your class, you need to find it elsewhere. I can't cover ever stat slot for ever character build
again... gamer. Obviously if this doesn't apply to you, don't do it. But I am showing that "sheet DPS" doesn't show the true value some of your gems and gear are providing. Use your brains people.
@@kevin9218 Spark does not inherently pierce in PoE2
Joke's on you, 99% of my damage comes from Cast on Freeze, which isn't affected by attack speed at all. Crit chance and crit damage though, yes, that would work. But I am spread too thin between trying to not run out of mana while all those comets are dropping and stacking energy shield to survive a hit. Also realised that chaos damage is like everything that isn't elemental or a physical hit, so damage like poison or bleed is chaos. Only after realising this it dawned on me why the poison projectile crabs are my most feared enemy, since even just 4-5 hits can kill me easily (1.5k hp, 1.7k shield).
Skill level is a bit of a bait, as on higher levels you often get minimal %dmg increase relative to the absurdly increased mana cost. This is particularly bad for non-spell skills.
Are we just simply leveling up our artifacts?
how do you equip 2 of the same gems in differen skills?

Excellent video and explanation!
my problem on archer ist im fast out of mana and i dont know how to fix it
Can you make a build guide please, loved the video!
Sheet Dps is the worst egregiously misleading thing in the game. I dont follow a build guide so I tinker a lot with my build. I changed a few things with my monk that had me deleting mobs several times faster and destroying everything on my screen. I checked my dps and it said it was doing 2k more damage per second. That just plain untrue from what I'm seeing in game. We need a better way to confirm our damage numbers in game.
Thanks for the lessons man. Still there is something i dont get.I just finished cruel and get to the endgame with almost all negative resistances. How is that even possible? On light i am on minus 39 ,on cold minus 14 ,on chaos is plus 10 and on fire is better than others is plus 39. How i did finished cruel?
New sub here! Great breakdown!
The info in the vid is pretty good although not all of it is applicable to every build for example my posion archers setup dosnt really gain anything from attack speed as it doesnt increase the rate of ticks its mostly just flat damage that scales it
How do weapon swap curses, or other spells really, work when you swap back to the other weapon? Do all skills snapshot to the weapon set skills + weapon stats even if they reapply on killing enemies or do they take your new weapon set into account?

How does attack speed matter if you only have 1 bolt loaded into the crossbow? Wouldn't reload speed be king?

Atk speed helps reload faster.
How does the pierce support gem work on spark? Don’t sparks normally pierce?
in Poe 2, spark can chain (in passive nodes) if the spark chain. spark cant pierce if u dont take the nodes (amulet annointment) or put the pierce gem. always remember, spark that pierce will not chain. choose wisely.

Just remember, attack speed is king, but not for warrior skills "meme on GGG for fking warriots up"
For crossbow weapon, affix attack speed or add # level to all projectile skills, which has output more damage ?
Probably projectile skills, you can see how much damage you get just look at how much the skills increase dmg wise for the build you use and see if it’s worth
Add jewels on your passive tree that add crossbow damage, projectiles and attack speed.
Does cast speed work on DoT abilities?
not as well sadly
no, DOT only deals the highest instance of damage at a moment. So it's better to stack pure dmg on DOT build than cast/attack speed.
my witch does not care about spell speed. and changing the amulettes of my minions is a bit... hard.
would be nice to have a dummy where i can see what my minions _really_ do in damage
My Comet ka'millon StormWeaver also doesn't care about cast speed
If you could just find something close to this. Has almost a god roll piece.
I'm loving PoE2 but it is so archaic in many ways and is needlessly convoluted at times.
Bro where is your Wuwa 2.0 coverage!?!?!

Thanks make sense now why i keep on dying, your explanasion helped me, no bs just facts.
I hope operator Otto doesn't watch this video, he might blow a gasket on the math explanations. "exponential damage" 😂😂
I see a very bloody death on the horizon for this game if GGG don't start balancing the currency issues and trade.
All the try hards are already hitting pinnacle bosses and asking stupid amounts in trade for what is considered must have gear that no one can afford.
GGG gives you 300 spell choices on what will soon be 12 classes and multiple build scenarios but in reality only 3 builds per class are survivable, so what was to be an awesome game has become meh.
Even obtaining waystones for higher tier nodes is a huge pain in the arse let alone storing them not counting the death penalties and loss of map nodes if you die.
I am hearing a ton of people ask "where is the fun" in the game and unless you build a cookie cutter class setup then there isnt any.
I know its early access but the new non POE players they captured initially wont be sticking around if the melee class still sucks in 3 months time.
I have this chest piece that increases enemy damage taken and reduces enemy damage dealt by 10%. Is this thing any good? It’s called Perfidy Knight Armor.
This is incorrect. Resistances have diminishing returns. Monster with 75% res gets 25% of the damage you deal. Having 25% penetration makes it 50% resistant, which means it takes 50% of damage you deal. That would be 2 times more. But if you add another 25% penetration it will be 75% of damage you deal, which is not double but only 50% increase compared to 25% penetration. So the more penetration you get the less value in stacking it. It is actually massive boost of damage at 50-70 penetration, but the more you get the less boost you get.
There's also the thing with overcap, if boss has 75% resistance and you get a map mod that gives it +50, your 50 penetration will do nothing, because boss will still have 75% resistance and you only removed his overcapped res. So it's a bit complicated. I feel fine with 60-80 penetration on my build.
I thought damage pen was capped in poe2 and we couldn't put enemies into the negative anymore?
thats true for penetration. But Exposure and Curses with -Res can go negative IIRC
Too biased towards spark as warrior mains cannot completely relate. Great advice on rings/amulet though
