Edit: I am a beast, just downloaded the Reap version on PoB :) (I get almost the same dps with my excel with lvl20 gems :o ) Edit: I misunderstood the effect of less duration on DOTS. I did another mistake: the "takes increased damage" is added after our DPS calculation, working like another multiplier. Here is the last version (Pretty sure it's reliable) : I couldn't scale it more with basic things. Buffs: Someone had a good idea to remove some %life nodes to grab another cluster on bottom left, could probably be better but more expensive. My mistakes: Dot scaling: Increased damage (add everything and multiply with base damage) Increased damage taken by enemies (add eveything and apply to your dps) I did the same with EXSANG on the same config with +8 to skill gem (double cold point + empower as there are not enough supports gems
Hey guys, I did some theorycrafting for fun (new to the game) and would like your opinions on basic damage and dot scaling for REAP. Was thinking about something like this : With this you get 196% life at 89, every physical nodes you need, 1 large cluster socket and 3 normal jewels sockets. I put physical jewels idk if there are dot multiplier instead (would be better). Firstly I don't think converting will be optimal with this spell as every new nodes are incredibly good for REAP as it is scaling both hit and dot damage. % more damage (spell, physical, dot...) I did some Excel PS: Without any gear I had a few questions about damage scaling: Is the increased dot damage working like the physical increased? Can I just add the %dot increase to the physical one for its DPS? Is increased damage taken by enemies working like normal increase? Can I add increase damage taken to physical damage increased and %more damage taken as a normal multiplier? How is the dot refreshing working? Should I have Cast time>Dot time or Dot Time>Cast time? I really love marauders so my only options would be Jugg or Berserk. The DPS looks decent but I am worried about surviving casting 2 Reaps/sec. Which additional defensive layer could I add to this build? Edit : I looked at actual dps progression with 2 other physical spells and it looks like it is gaining 10% per level. Dps unstuff with double Cold iron point could look like this : Edit: Last edited by tagada69 on Apr 15, 2021, 3:13:26 PM Last bumped on Apr 16, 2021, 8:44:15 AM |

I haven't seen the math, but Battlemage is likely going to be pretty important to maxing out Reap. Of course you can get that on a unique, but you can also get it off the Templar ascendancy and use a much better weapon. |

Thanks for your answer :). I don't know the maths behind battlemage but doesn't it look really strange to play an elemental ascendancy with a physical spell? Is battlemage even scaling with the DOT (which is easier to scale than the hit)? I didn't read anything about it, will they add some helmet enchant for new spells?

Battlemage only gives flat damage so it wouldn't affect the dot |

Weird interactions are the bread and butter of min/maxers. We'll need to see what they do with it though. I wouldn't emphasize the DOT aspect over the initial hit. DOT has the downside of being DOT. |

Could you, please, explain the downsides? With this setup, you get a 0.504s cast time with a 0.52 dot time. I understand for long-duration dots like ignite. |

At a glance anything that gives less duration is going to be the absolute worst choice you could make for DoT versions. Any time you're not actively hitting the boss you're always doing 0 damage, at which point why not scale hit? Shorter duration is not equal to stuff like "ignites/poisons/bleeds deal damage x% faster." It's straight up just less duration of a skill that already falls off immediately without investment, with no increased DPS. |

Looks like INT and DEX will be a pain in the ass here, even though it's doable with good gear. You could also look into removing a few points (the reflect nodes? A few 4% life nodes etc) which would let you run another full cluster setup, maybe mirroring the one you have (at least at higher levels). Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. Last edited by Phrazz on Apr 15, 2021, 9:58:15 AM |

when i was planning an exsanguinate build with corrupted fever, i went chieftain. so that'd equal 31% more damage and yeah tons of tankiness with phys taken as fire, endurance charges and regen. yes enemies take additional physical damage does work with DoT, so things like flesh and stone+maim, pride, war banner all good things. i imagine the same sort of setup would work with Reap but you'd probably be less dependent on scaling skill effect duration as the Reap DoT doesn't stack, unlike exsanguinate and corrupted fever |

I am probably missing something with POE DOT but: I have a 0.5 cast time REAP Spamming REAP on CD will do: 100dmg/sec you have a 0.5 cast time REAP Spamming REAP on CD will do: What is wrong with my demonstration? I understand that fact for a long-duration DOT (ignite, bleed, poison) where you can hit, run for a few seconde, hit again, but this one is only for 1 sec! You will never be able to hit and run anyway with a 1sec DOT. Being able to do double damage with dot is in this situation far more superior than a 1sec DOT isn't it? Edit: Ah Ok I understand! Is it just going to do 50% less damage in 50% less time? Last edited by tagada69 on Apr 15, 2021, 10:17:11 AM |
