1 more time sorry for bad english :D
Kotebears,

Ditch minion damage in exchange for either Empower (best choice) or Melee on Full Life. Those are both lower mana multipliers than minion damage and both will produce more damage than that gem. Also, as has already been pointed out, make sure you are running clarity.


Hey, I'm interested in trying out this build. Could someone look at this weapon and tell me if it's viable?

I have several questions. Does the weapon have to have +1+2? Does the physical damage matter?

Personally, I prefer 3B3R on my 6L staff to feature an IIR gem when necessary. The blue slot can then be used by Minion Dmg for clearing mobs. Anyway, it's pretty easy to chrome the staff for this build so no big deal.

I wonder how much dps Melee on Full Life can provide? Normally in SRS build, the fourth Red gem option is Added Fire Dmg (the first 3 must be Multistrike, Melee Phys, Empower for boss, Melee Splash for mobs) but your suggestion is interesting indeed. Can you give some math results?

Add a mana regen mod on that staff and with 5L, it at least can serve you well until atziri. You may need more dps for bosses like trio or Atziri by upgrading to a 6L +1 or 5L +3, though, I'm not sure.

Phys dmg mod does nothing to minion so it's basically trash mod.
Melee Damage on Full Life is equal to Melee Phys in effect when its functioning. The math is the same as they both feature "More" melee damage and not "Increased" melee damage. However, your skulls have to be at full life to get this benefit and that's not always the case.

If you are running Discipline and your skulls are getting some ES it certainly makes it more powerful. Really it comes down to what you are fighting. Mobs that do AoE effects will often neutralize the gem. Its a great boss killing gem in exchange for Melee Splash (presuming the boss doesn't spawn adds of course). If you aren't running Empower and looking for a sixth link, its certainly superior to Minion Damage in my opinion.

Like you, I tend to run IIR as a sixth link for better drops. The damage of Spell Echo, Multistrike, Melee Splash and Melee Phys is more than enough for almost all tasks.

Kotebears was asking how to get better mana efficiency and, as he was running a sixth link for damage, I am presuming he wants to continue doing so. I was pointing out that Minion Damage is a poor return for the 150% mana multiplier and that a good step would be to exchange it.

He could also exchange it for IIR, as you point out, but if he wants increased damage from that gem slot then he is definitely spending more mana for less results than Empower or Melee on Full Life. Empower is the best option for that slot for damage return and Melee on Full Life should only be an exchange gem when you don't want Melee Splash. If you don't have an Empower then Melee on Full Life is the next best choice.

Chroming your staff to get 3B/3R or 2B/4R is cheap, as you also point out, so you can switch it around as often as you like.

Which is more important? The +1 to socketed gems or +2 to fire gems? Does the +2 element matter?
+1 to Socketed Gems is better if you are running Empower. Without Empower +2 to Fire Gems is better. Reason being that Empower gets upped by one level and thus grants the same net bonus to your SRS Gem. The +1 to Gems also benefits all your other support gems by +2 via Empower.

In general, would it be better to run Empower? If so, which gem would you replace from this guide?
