DD does physical damage based on 20% of the corpses HP pool.

Does Spell damage scale with this damage?



Or is the spell damage irrelevent?



Reddit seems to give varying answers.. maybe someone here knows?

I am/was a bit confused on this too. ds lily and this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdSeTXTxdy8&ab_channel=DDIM both recommend threaded light(all it does is give big spell damage) so it must

then they are prioritizing phys dmg on the tree and in jewels so idk which is better. maybe phys dmg on tree is easier to get and jewels are cheaper with phys than spell dmg

for enezuns charge specifically its %consume > crit> spell dmg. heavily weighted to chance to consume. like id pay twice as much for #2

I'm assuming phys and spell damage effect it equally. the real question is how important minion life is. I suspect very.

POB2 doesn't work with DD currently and I'm not doing tests so this where we are at until it works

Minion life, cast speed, and crit bonus damage (assuming you have crit) are all going to be more important than spell damage. Minion life is the base damage. The second wand is better because it’s more build enabling and has more crit. I played the build briefly and equipping Doedre’s Tenure did not add a noticable amount of damage. What’s important is crit and cast speed (which doedre’s actually removes)

I definitely notice a difference when using threaded light. most people are using archemage so fewer minions often makes cast speed worse. I think we agree tho overall
