Whats bothering me is my DPS. It's just 75 now :S
Now Im not sure how it is calculated, is it 75 physical damage, and my skills DPS is calculate separately (Because I can see dmg I'm dealing with fire, Ice etc..), or its my "global" DPS?

The Character sheet shows per-hit DPS for the selected skill. Firestorm's listed DPS will always be shit because each individual hit is weak. Of course, it also hits very, very often (especially with Increased Duration linked), and can hit multiple foes. The DPS display is really kind of valueless.
Oh man you're an eye opener! :D

I didn't even realize I can click on different skills in character tab :O

Now I feel embarised..:/

Anyway, so Ive been looking at my physical dmg all the time, main attack which I almost never even use..

So I got one more question, if I rarely use main attack and more rely on minions/skills, does it make sense to get Elder Power rune to get more DPS/dealt dmg (50% more dmamage with wands)? Will it apply only to my main attack dmg or overall damage for skills also?


thx A LOT!
Added a new tip that explains how you should try to get nodes that negate stats to avoid having to find them on gear
