Necro is good because he has Embalming (instant mana regen) and can make

RW - Punisher + Disco Inferno combo simply owns everything. Also necro has Burning Veil and can also have an access to Bloodlust.

because the necros have Embalming and barbarians have Eagle stance to regenerate mana very fast .

all other classes can use disco inferno ofc , but they will require mana on striking , lots of mana after kill and mana leech to be as viable as those 2 above . Mana tide totem is also good to get mana regen for the other classes ;) (

How high can apocalypse spell dmg go to ?

I've read some some people reaching over 30k, but so far I barely have 24k max, with high end gear.

It depends on the char you're playing. Pretty sure that barbarian can reach the highest damage from Apocalypse than any other char (ZodXis helm + 2x MotW axes + Bloodlust buff from minions).

Unholy paladin. Casting all the elements. Using apocalypse-Hailstorm-Mindflay-VoJ-Slayer and SoD.

I just expected slightly more from my items. Raising mainly + all spell damage. I'm at 450% all atm I think. -100 all res ofc.

Edit: I lack energy factor.

Zod crafted jewels with 5-6% fire spell damage make a lot of difference. Add here 11-15 Energy Factor modifier and you'll get a significant damage boost.

A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
450% spell damage is very far away from "high end gear" - superbeast alone gives 250%...

I should have said 450% without charms. Trying to build a monster with so much spell damage it can actually wipe everything up. Holds his promise for the moment.

Edit: Already using Zod Crafted jewels with 3% all spell damage ( 5-6% fire, light or poison.) in my whole gear. Was just wondering how far an oskill like apocalypse can go.
