Why is the magic in the game so weak?

physical damage rules in the game, there are no wands that also gave as much damage as two-handed weapons. there are players who inflict 150,000 and a million of physical damage per second, magic cannot achieve this, my maximum is 39,000 lightning damage. I can't even do 100,000 !!! what does it mean? Where is the balance in the game?

Rarely have I seen such shining example of someone who really needs this:

L2P before you start complaining. Magic is fine. It's you that suck.

Are you looking at tooltips numbers? They don't show you your true damage.

Use this tool: https://pathofbuilding.community/

No way any build at above level 86 only has 39k DPS nowadays. That's like running an unlinked skill gem deliberately. 6-linked skill gem nowadays should get you over 150k DPS even without trying.

This game isn't balanced.

Also it's not modern world of warcraft where you're prevented from making bad decisions. You do need to think about how to build your character and will make several bad builds before making a good one. (unless you just blindly follow guides, in which case, whatever floats your boat)

There is only spell and no magic

The lore saying this came from gem


Also ele conversion is fine. People can just craft zdps wand and ele convert later. Some spell may have build in conversion


Mind to just learn the game and what is insane DPS build before making conclusion that only physical damage is good in this game

well it simply means you have no idea what you are talking about

in this game both attacks and spells ("magic") can deal all the damage types, physical, elemental, chaos

if your build is good or bad depends on how well you make it. thats all. there is no mechanism to prevent players from making bad builds.

I don't need this tool, I play through lightning and not fire, skill stones are in order, 6 connections, 39000 dps, also players use a bug with a whirlwind (using a whirlwind, they also use several other active skills at the same time)

there are also weapons that give 100-900 damage, but there are no wands and shields that give 100-900 spell damage?

Can we vote a player off this game? :D

Now seriously, this is a very complex game and if you consider everything that you don't understand (which appears to be, well, everything) either bug or imbalanced mechanics, you're gonna have a bad time. For example, triggering another skill while using Cyclone is absolutely normal feature of many builds, done by linking the Cyclone with a spell gem and Cast on Critical or Cast While Channeling support gem.

Start learning before you start bitching next time.

spells do not use weapons to deal damage
