Improving Spell Damage (and consequently DPS)

ghostface14
Any tips on increasing spell damage? I’m looking at Alcast’s mag nightblade build and in his screenshot his spell damage is ~3700 (not sure what set he used there but assuming the BiS its 5 piece julianos, moondancer jewels and valkyn set, maelstrom lightning and moondancer inferno). He also hits 37k dps in the vid.

Im using 5 piece julianos (both staves gold julianos and the rest epic divines), 5 piece bsw with spell damage enchant on jewels and ilambris pauldron. 2 of the armor pieces arent divines yet. With this setup and before spell pot im at 2600 spell dmg and dps of 21k on target dummy, with ele drain. Does the pots make a huge difference? Im basically following his rotation, short some animation cancelling. Any other general pointers?

    Glyphs? The power glyph is also a way to get extra spell dmg.

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Says right under the character sheet image in Alcast's build:
    Spellpower Potion, Spelldmg Enchantment was active when I took the screenshot. Gearsetup 1.

    Gear setup 1, as listed in the build, is 5 Mechanical Acuity + 5 Master Architect + 1 Molag Kena.

    So if your spell damage is 2600 ... add the Berserker enchant (+348), then multiply by 1.2 to account for Major Sorcery = 3537.
