Path of Building Mark Comparison

It really does, once you learn all the ins-and-outs of it. Where everything is, what to change, what not to change, the things it will do automatically and/or assume to be active/true as opposed to the things that it doesn't do that for, etc.

Have you ever tried switching skills back and forth to compare numbers? Such as comparing Assassin's Mark with Sniper's Mark, they are very close when you compare damage. I've been dicking around with it and got this:

Assassin's Mark: 341,513 dps
Sniper's Mark: 385,324 dps

I found the flasks under 'items'. When I throw in Power Charges and Diamond flask I get:

Assassin's Mark: 455,632 dps

Diamond flask and no power charges with Sniper's Mark: 448,944 dps


Then I unchecked the flask and power charges and looked at the Sniper's Mark dps again, now it says 382,389 dps. Before it said 385,324 dps. I know I'm a noob at PoB but there's more going on with all the random numbers, lol. I was very careful with what I checked and unchecked.

That's a very different situation from where you started with your OP. There have been issues from time to time where it doesn't refresh some numbers correctly as you make then revert certain changes.

If you think you've found a legit discrepancy with the values it's giving you as you switch things and switch back, you should go check in the issues on github. If there isn't anything recent that's similar to what you're seeing, post your issue there. If there is an actual bug, which is definitely possible with what you're describing now, that's the place to get it looked into.

So if it's not refreshing then the old numbers are wrong?

It would really depend on what's causing the problem in the software. It seems to me like it would probably be something occurring in the process of switching back and forth between the two curses. But I'm not at home now to play around with PoB myself to try to figure out where the hiccups might actually be starting.

Well if it's not refreshing, that would explain why the damage stayed the same after putting in Barrage in place of Faster Attacks. It showed Barrage in PoB but was still calculating it as Faster Attacks.
