Jewellery clarification

Stewart1874 · May 2018

This isn't Summerset related.

I'm using a build and for some reason I can't get the same spell damage as the screen shot shows so I wanted to know if having blue rings and neck rather than purple or gold matters? I have gold enchants on the rings and neck which seem to offer the same output as if they were gold so I'm a bit perplexed on what i'm missing.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I'm not massively clear on it.

Upgraded jewelry level will increase stats slightly. It depends on how far off your #'s are.

Is you food active, potions, set procs?

Other things, such as skill layout, can have an effect too. If you'd attack a screenshot of what you've got vs what you're going for, it would help.

Some people like to post pics when in stealth and with continuous attack (Cyro resource buff) to inflate their numbers, might be that.

On PS4, so Screenshots might be a little bit of a pain in the arse to figure out. Basically its Alcast's Pet Magsorc. His Screenshot shows Spell Damage at 2900.

Conversely my base damage is 2005 with buffs taking it up to circa 2400. My CP layout is similarity but only being 590 means Its not quite identical so stuff like Thuramage has been prioritised because based on the build (Liquid lighting, wall of elements) it seems the most important one to be up?

The reason I ask is because i'm trying to do Maelstrom on vet but have hit a wall on Sehts Flywheel (Which is like the easiest one on normal) so if there is something i'm missing to squeeze the extra 500 spell damage out I think that would help quite a bit.

Spell Damage enchant on weapon will increase it some more as well. Sometimes people post screenshots with spell power cure buff on as well.

Are you running gold spell damage enchants on the jewelry?

On a side note, you don't need high damage (dps) to beat vMA. It's more about learning what kills you and how to avoid it. Some classes have an easier time as well.

Mag Sorc for example you can beat it with Hardened Ward, Liquid Lighting, Elemental Blockade, Power Surge and mostly just heavy attack.
