didnt understande exactly.

how can i check this? its a weapon with no elemental dmg on stats or just with +physical dmg?

and how does triumvirate works for that?

Just started again. Can someone take a look at my current set up and suggest some upgrades to me?

I would also love some information on what I can improve with my current setup and skills, please

look at my weapon

a weapon that gives +min +max dmg or %damage ... not elemental, ex. 300-400 poison dmg, lightning dmg, etc..
triumvirate elemetal % will only apply to physical dmg from weapon, or min, max, ##-## dmg on rings and ammys.

buy rares with crit chance, attack speed, int, vit, res, crit dmg - in that order of importance
life on hit or life steal on weapon

get rid of your poopy magic items.

choose archon build (lower mp for fast leving/farming runs)
or cm/ww - get arcane power on crit(higher mps, key farming/ubers)

NEED critical mass passive when you add crit chance.

glass cannon will kill you mp2+ unless you have 500res/30k+life
blizzard/hydra sucks unless you want to kite everything.

crit chance = helm, ring, ammy, bracer, glove
attack speed = ring, ammy, glove, weapon (if you have gold: bracer-lacuni prowler, belt - witching hour, chest- tal rashas)

assuming your not very wealthy, immediate concerns would be:
off hand - rare with crit, 200+ avg dmg, int, apoc (or cheap triumvirate without apoc)
rings - crit chance, attack speed int

anything with resistances

i tought triumvirate added dmg just to fire/ice/light dmgs, no?

so it adds elemental dmg to dmg right?

edit: kinda confused, but what i meant is something like adds dmg to fire/ice/light skills instead of adding elemental dmg too all.

pure dps gain
same as my hat, my boots, tals amulet, other items like that...frost burns etc have the worthless mod (same as tals set bonus)

no your confusing 2 different mods...

"cold skills deal 6% more damage" => any skill that does cold dmg will now deal 6% more dmg than before
which is not near as good as
"adds 6% to cold damage" => takes your physical (non-elemental) damage and adds 6% damage to that, as Neutral said, pure dps gain - to every skill.

The wording is kinda weird and makes it confusing.. but thats the mechanics of it.

Is 20 apoc enough for cm build? Like, only wand and the source. I sacrifice too much defensive properties if I take the helm into the account as well.
