I’m trying to search and sad to say I’m not good at math want to leave it to expert need help.

Current playing lone wolf wizard skull shield.

Stats

Power= 103
Health=0
Mana=0

Dodge = 78%
Block = 75%

I keep dying so I try to improve my defense also people say hp doesn’t matter on high floors.

I don’t know why the dodge and block cap at 78 and 75 it should be 90% as 60 is max +30 on epiphany = 90 even I add more dodge it doesn’t go up.

Crushing blow /
Elemental critical /
Crit damage/chance/
200-300% element damage %

Remove block . 1 crystal affix dodge is enough and put some dex in your heroic skill . dont be defensive on high floor . kill mobs as fast as you can so they cant hit you back .

This again no, pls.
How it works: Dodge cap is 60%, Epiphany will increase its value by 30% of cap value. So it’s 60% + (30% of 60%) = 78% instead a raw 60% + 30%.

Your build seems fine, but since you’re using summons, I’m sure attack speed isn’t an useful stat on your build, so you could replace it with something else: Crushing blow, Elemental Critical Damage, Summon DMG, Crit DMG, well, there are many options.

Isn’t attack speed multiplied by the FWD? So that would mean more DPS?

I see so dodge is enough replace all block for offense affix.

Thank you

The attack speed for Epiphany bonus need 70% attack speed for 70% increase damage

My pet has 10 to necrotic, skullshield ,recall and reclaim. Max those talents and skills. I’m a skullshield fan too. Also try explosive affixes on an item :slight_smile:

Well, if you think 70% dmg is worth 3 slots (2 being crystal affixes), then it’s ok

dps is only a point when we’re talking about primary skills which are projectiles

The way you said it its not good right?

Now i was thinking what you said I think you right its not worth total 5 slot?

I was thinking for 70% damage and 30% max cap

I also add Brutality and remove all block for Crit dmage and crit chance.

So is there better replacement for epipany 5 slot or combo for better damage please tell me :slight_smile:.

You don’t need epiphany for activating epiphany bonus

Question does global damage affect elemental damage? Like Glasscanon , power etc.
