[3.4] Vaal Double Strike Champion

"

vvamic a écrit :

Sure it might do same damage when used without an offhand but when combined with an offhands extra phys to ele damage it gets a huge boost, hence the requirement of a high DPS foil to take advantage of both weapons. That being said I used a 220pds foil until mid 80's, so its in no way necessary but good to have.

My calculations above are for the following sources of extra ele damage:
35% offhand
hatred
HoA
20% atziri flask

You are right that high pdps on weapon is important, however it's less important when it comes to double strike than it is for other skills, since DS has a great flat phys damage added. That is precisely why attack speed becomes MORE important for double strike and should be prioritized/balanced with PDPS when on a budget. A 5c foil with an empty suffix will easily net out >1 mil DPS @lvl 90 - which gets quadrupled (quintoupled?) when vaal goes off.

this is a fun build shaper just gets deleted

I like how y'all are talking about foils with these stats, saying they're cheap 1-5c foils when in reality none of them go for below 80c-1ex.

5c foil, capable of 1m ethical shaper dps (no vaal) with mediocre gear.

Literally none of those have a combination of stats similar to the Foil you posted, check my link again.

Any tips where to go from here? Capped resists finally, plowing through t8 maps at 85 but I still occasionally die here and there. Got lucky and chanced a Kaoms Heart early so I have a tiny bit of currency to use.

it's the same pdps, same aps and same free suffix for same crit chance. Do you really care about 15% increased damage? :)))

the ones in your link are crazy 300+ pdps foils

I'm not sure what to upgrade for my build. I've got 7ex to spend, but no idea what to upgrade.

Here's my current gear: ~ 320pdps weapon, 1mod shaper stat stick, few good flasks
