Is there a DMG dummy or something?

[Ɣɪ¢♰ɪɱƧ]

I have a few DMG modifiers that don't apply directly to the DMG of the ability (like deal more damage to ignited/blinded enemies, intimidation, double holy relic, etc) and since PoE can't calculate those I was wondering if there's like a dummy I can hit for 5" and have it calculate average DPS.

Thanks in advance.

Try to get into "Path of Building". An external tool for all the numbers.

Ah, thank you guys. Heard of it before but saw it was a software and decided not to install it at the time. I'll have to look into it.

It's really useful for planning your builds and for importing builds you found online. It also gives you a lot more details about pretty much everything related to offense and defense where as the game tells you very little about your character. Get the community fork version though as it has a lot more functions

It's actually quite impressive how much you can improve your build when you see the numbers properly reflected. I thought the double relic gimmick was giving me massive damage but it turned out to give me merely a bit over 1k damage. I guess you've got to invest more heavely into it to make it worth, I don't know.
Anyway, I changed my build a bit (24 respec points total) and I tripled the total damage output and improved my survivability quite decently. Only downside is that the double relic helmet was giving me a ton of Chaos Res (plus some nodes as well) and now I'm at 12.

Thank you all again. It's a very useful software.

Great you are making progress,you can also use Path of Building to check how much of an improvement a certain item is by crafting it in there. So you can do that before investing :)

In path of building watch out for the configuration your build has (top right button), like power/frenzy/endurance charges, skills or flasks used/killed monsters recently, etc

Если вам от этого станет легче, ничего страшного.

I know this may sound ridiculous but it's literally what i do. Lol.

I grab a couple level 1 white maps. Then I check my dps on a mob or two in there, cause there's bound to be that same mob on there.

That's actually how I compare lol. It just seems to work or help for me.

Thanks! This was really useful.

I managed to calculate the max level dps that I could get with this build and it was only 750k which, if I got the numbers right, won't be viable to keep advancing tiers and doing the rest of the content (I do yellow maps fine and I can complete up to tier 13 maps with some struggles depending on the rares/boss/mods).
I tried to fiddle a bit with the build but only led me to lose massive damage (down to 200k and so) which makes me ask myself... What are scythes even for? I know there's like a worm build but scythes seem so underwhelming for a unique weapon. There is no reason/synergy that could justify taking either of the two instead of, let's say, Terminus Est which has x5 damage potential apparently.

Either way the only thing I'd need now is some sort of "death recap" to know what the frick one shotted me on a map that I can zoom through scorching Earth without issues even against rares (I have capped res including chaos now, whenever I get hit I get a "warning tap" but never get one shot, I even have 30% crit damage reduction so I don't know where the surprise nuke comes from).

Do you get to see the numbers or just see how fast the life bar depletes?

Thanks once again for your answers.

That can also come in handy, although I think most of the crafting I have left to do right now (unless I unlock new recipes or find an astronomically better piece) is randomized (world eater modifiers and such, although last run I'd get one or two every map and on this one they're super rare so I can barely roll to get useful stuff).

The crafting term I used, referred to the option in Path of Building => "Craft Item". This has nothing to do with crafting an item in game.

Uniques: you can forget about most of them in terms of end game viability. Rare items can and will be much better in many cases. You are trading for items, right? pathofexile.com/trade

I only keep two uniques: Terminus Est (I haven't found a better weapon so far, the free frenzy charges are too good) and The Ignomon (which I'm thinking about swapping it for Natural Hierarchy because I'm not so sure if the blind stuff is helping me that much).

I don't trade because I get the most fun from finding out stuff and improvising.
