I don’t understand I have a nova sorc with end game gear and my damage only says around 4K

I see videos where their damage is like 10k or something crazy high


Self wield infinity
Griffins
Vipermagi
Eth treks
Arachnids
Trangs ouls
Maras
Soj
10fcr w/ mana/life

CTA 6/6/1 staff w/ 3es

Merc:
Cure
COH
Insight

Perf torch/Anni
38 Life skillers (5x)
@Sc


I don’t get it am I doing something wrong ?


try the 200 fcr build with merc infinity

echuta (jewel), viper (jewel), spirit, 2/20 ammy, griffon (jewel), arach, magefist, 10 FCR ring, soj, mana boots

your nova dmg will be much higher, u will tele faster. you also do more dps against all monsters not lightning immune. for the lightning immune monsters, u will sunder them and get some -LR from the mer conv and ur facets, but like in chaos that may be < 5 monsters.

you will need to prioritize mana because u wont have insight, but if ur gear can give u >3.5k mana, u will also not run out

it is even easier now with the new -10 LR facet and the new sunder

So game play isint the issue. And my clear speed isint the issue. I was just curious why my damage was so low when some videos show damn near same gear with higher dps otput

Don't do this. Unless you're tele'ing for baal runs or something like that, 105 is the superior build.

That’s what I’m currently running is 105. Feels the best with the gear I have.

I was wondering if my stats had a bug as to why it was only showing 4K. But I now understand that’s just what it is lol

what are you basing this on? the fact that every glue eater here does the self infinity build? do you understand how much faster and more dmg u do with 200 fcr build, especially if ur able to get ur hands on a -10 jewel and the new light sunder?

the math on what? use maxroll to calculate dps of the builds (like I have) where u can see u clearly do more dmg with my build. it's nice you know that "math, logic, reason (redundant to logic)" exist, but you don't actually use it
