ED and Decaying Hex desperatly need x1.3-1.5 damage buff

My story: i run this joke skills. I had +43% chaos damage focus. I bought this:




My tooltip DPS on ED, Chaos Bolt went from like 80 to 100. Wopping 20% DPS. But how it feels in the game? Well, white mob in middle Act 2 can die from Decaying Hex + Contagion on old set up in like 7 seconds i think. With new set up they die in like 6 secs.

6 secs is not a lot in vacuum. In the game, it's swarm of enemies than live for 6-12 seconds. Also this offhand is like very good, it's not average item for it's lvl. I also use ED+Withering Touch and when i can hit mob that have DH+Contagion i feel that they die much faster. But this happens not often.

Contagion as single target skill sucks a lot, but kinda works. Problem is that any other skill combo in the game can do job much better: You don't need to wait for mobs to die.

I guess if big white mob in Act 2 can die in 4 seconds with affordable set up like 70-80% increased spell damage in would make this skills at least feel not like garbage without future.

And i this buffing it for 30-50% damage would be balanced change.
