Grand spectrum ele Jewel build - opinions?
" So I was thinking about making a Grand Spectrum Jewel character, abusing the "overrated" 980% increased ele damage from 14 jewel sockets seems like a fun idea. Scion tree:

Would it be more efficient going another bandit? When it comes to gem choice I'm thinking about something like the spark gem When @ lvl 20 it does a quite good amount of base dmg Average coming to about 438 lightning damage.

Just saying, I have no idea if I do math right so bare with me, rip
So using 14 grand spectrum jewels with a 5% increased ele damage each. the math would go something like this.. 5*14*14=980 (% increased elemental damage) 438*(1+9.8)=4730.4 4730.4 being the base average damage of the spark jewel, that of course being just the spark gem + 14 grand spectrum ele damage jewels. Gem final:

And now just doing some other spark gem calculations-- Min damage on the spark gem is 44 44*(1+9.8)=475.2 Max damage on the spark gem is 832 832*(1+9.8)=8985.6 The spark gem would be something like:  And that's just with the jewels. no other gear... What is the potential if you'd add mirror gear to this?? Of course the jewels go at a price 1ex~ (in prophecy league) considering their drop conditions are yet to be revealed, but there are some already out on the market, so another question is... Does anybody know where or how they drop? Cost of jewels with normal gear included = 25ex~ (could probably go much lower, all depends on what gear you'd use. Minimum cost 16ex~? (1ex~ per jewel)

and a s**t load of time for leveling the charecter ofc...

It's 980% not multiplied by 980. Divide your numbers by 100.
Still a great base damage which then gets support gems multipliers. |

" already better xD thx m8. felt like it was a bit too good for thoughts. Will fix that in the post then :) Nightmare of a Meme Last edited by Flabb#4508 on Jun 8, 2016, 12:43:27 PM

This gem is tailor made for burning builds. Burning double dips in elemental damage, so something like flameblast is the best option for it.

" Flameblast could be a good idea, ye. Don't really know the math that would go into it tho, the stage calculations is beyond me :P

 Not charged: 241 to 362 base damage. 241*(1+9.8)=2602.8 362*(1+9.8)=3909.6 2602.8 to 3909.6 damage with 14 jewels. Average damage when not charged: 3256.2 Fully charged: 2892 to 4344 damage. with 14 jewels: 2892*(1+9.8)=31233.6 4344*(1+9.8)=46915.2 31233.6 to 46915.2 dmg with 14 jewels.

" Just multiply base damage by 12 |

" It's 110% more spell damage per stage, but how many stages are there? Nightmare of a Meme

Don't you think the extra damage that shock would provide could be good enough to make a choice for lightning gems tho? or would it be better to use fire spells solely for the burn damage?
A 50% boost of damage would be better for bursting right? Or would the burning damage outdo the 20k extra dps that shock could provide on something like spark? Nightmare of a Meme Last edited by Flabb#4508 on Jun 8, 2016, 12:51:51 PM

The formula is still wrong.. If you have 100% increased damage, you have to multiply your base dmg by 2, not 1...
So its 438*(1+9,8)=4730 :) |
