How to get my pob right

So I have been fiddeling with a seismic trap saboteour lately and I have got a pob from PathofMath like 2 days ago.

Path of Math build : https://pastebin.com/KSppegqs

My build : https://pastebin.com/QFLCbmYj

Beside the fact that my pob shows lightning resistance 73% for some bizare reason, I cannot seem to make the calculation correct to even close myself to his damage.

His extreme budget build is like 9+mil and my calculation brings me to only 624k in full 1x seismic trap, make that x4 and I am not even close to his damage.

His extreme budget goes on a tabula and the normal tree from witch I don't have the cluster jewel.

I am just asking , how can I configure the pob to show my damage accordingly , because I do not know if 624k for 1 seismic is correct. I feel that his damage in all his videos is way higher than mine, even though he is just using a +1 amulet, a skin of the lords and the same cluster I am missing.

Feels like I am doing something wrong and I do not know were the gap is.

This is a question for whomever knows how to pob well and can help out.

P.S - I calculated in his pob using extreme budget + prior to diadem gems ( without pride) and the level 90 tree without cluster, and still the pob shows a difference of almost 3+ mil...I do not know what I am doing wrong and my damage seems off for some reason.

You need to go through "calc" and check everything that applies. Pathofmath's PoB has lots of things checked, you have nothing checked.

Checking the stuff he has checked, you're at 3m. If you can't check the things he has checked, then you have stuff to work on. Frenzy charges, power charges, chill, shock etc etc.

I did check them, which Is why I said I am at 3m while he is at 6.7mil.

I was thinking I am missing something , because falling short on 3 mil doesn't seem right.

I didn't look at the POBs in much detail, but probably the mana reservation?
i.e. which stuff that needs to be turn on?

Don't see it's possible to have ALL active - determination, grace, defiance, herald of purity, pride, skitterbots. Check the actual guide perhaps?


Also, I think your lighting resist is missing from bandit choices Alira?

The lightning resist was fixed by picking alira.

Yes determination , grace defiance banner and skitterbots for now.

You need to socket determination / grace / pride with enlighten level 2 in helm, to be able to get herald of purity and pride + skitterbots.

But I selected extreme budget + the gems from "before the diadem" (which does not have pride/herald of purity, only determination grace and skitterbots) + level 90 tree without cluster, you can do that from the skills and items section. And he has like 6.7mil, while with the same calcs I fall at 3mil. This is why I wanted someone with pob knowledge to take a look because I do not understand how I fall 3mil behind already .

4 major reasons:

1. He did set Pride´s dmg effectiveness to max and thats worth about 0.5 mill dps

2. He´s got trap throwing speed everywhere, which is increasing the traps castspeed as well and thus multiplying the dmg massively.
Craft trap throwing speed in PoB onto your belt and edit it manually to 50% to check the effect. 50% might be a little high but thats roughly whats he got in total on all his gear and its roughly worth 1.5 mill dps.

3. Hes running lvl21/20 gems across the board and you dont.

4. Your chance to crit is only about 80% compared to his close to 100%. If you change your boot enchantment to "120% crit chance if havent crit recently", your crit chance goes up to 92%


If you fix all of that in your PoB you should be looking at roughly 6.3 mill dps compared to his 6.7 mill. The rest of the missing dmg is prolly gear related as well as still lower crit chance compared to his setup

Hmm.. if I did that, I got his POB to 3.5mil DPS, not 6.7mil.
Have you disabled the all the stuff under the "---- AFTER to Devouring Diadem (High Budget) ----" and enabled all the stuff under "---- Prior to Devouring Diadem -----"?

Here's how I see 3.5mil from his POB: https://pobb.in/yke_XQnIQiDd
Lifetap and arcane surge buff is giving him quite a few more damage.

Arcane surge support gem doesn't work if you are using diadem because you're not spending mana.

If you tweak your POB with lvl 20 gems, turn on pride, same stuff in the configuration tab and also a diamond flask, you should have similar 3m+ DPS.


With that said, bear in mind that buffs like max pride, bear trap and flasks are hard to keep 100% uptime. Heck, even the seismic trap itself can be hard to place for fast moving enemies.

He has arcane surge in his build to emulate the cluster...I think it's Arcane Pyrotechnics.

He also has a bunch of jewels with crit multi on them, some more crit multi on gear etc. Lot's of small things add up. Also, reason I thought you missed the calc page was because your PoB link had nothing checked.
