math is wrong in the dps section, crit multiplier is taken into account when displaying average damage of the spells ;).

I know this because I also run a CoC build (build posted in this section also). Adding crit multiplier on my fireballs makes em do about 30% more average dmg, which is pretty nice :).

I'm pretty sure this isnt 200k DPS, because my build clears stuff WAY faster and runs at about 50k dps per target hit. (clears dominus in a few seconds, he attacks me once per fight).

Here is where i think it's wrong:

1. Barrage shot 8 Projectile, if you add chain then
2. it will shot 16 Projectiles, if all crit,then
3. It will cast 128 Projectile Spells in 1 sec, If you put 2 spell gem then
4. It will cast 256 Projectile in 1sec, since you have chain on it will do more 2x chain to monster
5. That total of 768 Projectile Spells in 1 sec!
6. If fire ball do avg of 300 damage, then the total damage per cast 230,400! but
7. Of course there wont be ton of monster in one area so that just theory craft :) but it fun to watch
8. If I have 400% crit multiple and they all crit then 230k + 400% = 1.1Million!!!
9. My gems only level 15 right now, so I will test it out and report to you :D

You need to calculate attacks speed, accuracy, critchance and cast on crit chance to know how many procs per second you do. Then you can add up those procs.

the bolded part is wrong, because most of those projectiles will miss and hit nothing. You are attacking at range, so more than half the projectiles are passing by monsters and not chaining. Also, to reach 200k dps, all those projectiles would have to hit the same target and chain themselves on that single target (which isnt possible). Also, barrage has the tendency to miss with a lot of the projectiles (the wander off, sadly :S).

That being said, your dmg output for AOE and big mob pacts is still pretty nice, and the look is awesome ;).

one way to deal with reflect is replace fireball with raging spirit. cuts ur reflect in half. also works with EE. im doin a hybrid with barrage, coc, ek, raging spirit. cloak of defiance + block makes reflect a joke btw.
