Hi there.

Anyone good at math wanna show why phys att shards beat DOT's in weapons and at what lvl gem phys att gem>DOT?

Keep in mind that everyone high lvl have Def gems these days and 1% att cancels 1% Def.

Keeping in mind that a DOT cost 4 times as much as the best phys dmg gem doesnt that make a DOT better in PWI,s eyes?

Thanks

    DoT

    Assume you don't have DoT sharded in armor and you got 30 attack levels from jone's, 2 DoT's will make you do 132% damage instead of 130%. Your damage per hit with DoT will be
    ((5957 + 7240) / 2) * 1.32 = 8710.02

    Idk about LC, but DoT is priced at about 4-5 mil right now on HL, so we'll compare it to G9 garnets.

    ((6298 + 7582) / 2) * 1.3 = 9022

    Not sure what you mean by costing 4 times as much, but if you are talking about NPC prices...

    You forgot dagger devotion on your G9 garnet calc, but really, isn't it clear enough that DoT's in weapons isn't a good idea

    Right, pasted the old link before I added devotion. Fixed.

    Having +10 Nirvana weapon in the comparison is being generous. With weaker weapons, the garnet will have even bigger edge.
