having a wierd problem, flame totem dps

im using a flme totem and i changed some of my passives to to see the damage diffrences:
i respec 5 points in total




after these changes i expected a dramatic increase in my dps (i had about 1540 dps)
instead i got less dps (1470)
how is this possible?

WHat did you specc out of?

2 points gave me 10 str each (should not effect dps)

Do you have a piece of gear and/or a gem that requires those 20 str to use and now no longer can use it?

You traded 28% spell damage for 12% with 2% cast speed. Would 2% cast speed makes up for 16% less spell damage?

you understood the opposite-
i traded 12% totem dmg + 2% cast speed for 28% spell dmg + 6% cast speed, there should be no reason i get less dps
and no, the str dont prevent me from using any gear.

i think its a bug is it possible?

Far, far more likely that something changed that you didn't notice or haven't mentioned.

this is exactly what i changed.
str also dosent affect dps so plz help me understand what is the reason my dps got lower..
i can still use all my items, no attributes are missing.
the only thing i changed are these passives

cmon guys... someone?

Using Iron Will? The missing strength could effect dps then.

Does Totem Damage effect every damage skill in your links or just total?
Meaning, is the 16% improved spell % plus 4% improved cast, not affecting your total totem dps somehow? The totem damage is more effective? I don't know the answer, just something to look up.
