How much DPS is Ok DPS?

"

What's your idea of a reasonable modest budget that an average build should count on achieveing?

It depends on your definition of reasonable, as in whether you want to insta-kill your favorite bosses, or actually do the fights.

For 10ex you can get 2-3M in a dot build or 5-10M in a hit build if you do a solid build well. Your standard A8 conq/Sirus fights will be fine on that. But as others have said, you are not going to do 100% Deli.

And some of those builds could certainly take you to 100, but it's more about your tankiness as others mention. (It's also about your patience. I can't imagine grinding to 100 when I could take two new builds to 90 for the same effort and have way more fun.)

There are also builds that would suck on 10ex. And some that would still suck on a lot more. But plenty of options where 10ex is a decent budget for basic end content.

During Ritual I had about 700k dps on PoB and it felt fine, even bosses were going down pretty fast. You don't need millions of dps for this game, there isn't really anything that requires it.

what's defenses like. It's a complicated matrix... can't give a number.


Some builds are fine with zdps some need 30 millions to take out bosses before bosses take them out in one shot.

Assuming you are tanky enough to take a few hits.

To be able to burst down bosses before they hit you, you need 15M+.

Did you do the feared the hidden or maven?

Generally i'd agree like i did sirus with 572k before but those seem to cover the screen with high damaging DPS if you don't take them out.

There's a large and growing difference between basic and ultra end-game content. Nothing wrong with that, but it makes concepts like "all content" and "bosses" difficult to talk about since people can mean very different things depending on their experience, and those different meanings have different answers.

I can't imagine playing on less than 1M, but for some folks that's fine. I also can't imagine investing to do 100% deli.

essentially this game is a war of attrition. so it all depends how tanky your character is too.

the tankier you are, the more you can avoid damage and death, the less DPS you can get away with. the more damage you take and the more death you face, the more DPS you want.

this isn't only about your defensive stat list either, but your playstyle. if you suck at the game, or if you like to stand still and throw down with mobs not dodging or moving at all, you'll need more damage to make sure they die before you do
