youre missing a big chunk of damage by not getting the 1996 or 2100 energy breakpoint. block shouldnt come before the damage.
str for gear, energy for at least 1996, dex, then leftover vit if any remain

can you explain what you mean re: breakpoints? i thought spell focus was just flat % now after the rework? i respecced and went from 1887 energy to 2115 energy, but it only took me from 99k to 100k damage (i have 992 spell focus). it feels more worth to have 50% block with 99k damage than to have 39% block with 100k damage -- what am I missing?


my understanding of it based on the wiki is that it just provides a flat bonus regardless of your energy:
the wiki wrote:The spell focus bonus provides an additional benefit regardless of your energy, and does not have diminishing returns. For every 10 spell focus, the base damage of your spells is increased by 1%, up to a maximum of 100%.

Thanks for showing the Scosglen clear. It does look pretty nice and easy for the build. I know that you mentioned it's not the best for labs so I wanted to ask which tier would you say it can comfortably clear.

Up to like, 5 or 6 should be pretty easy if you have the correct resistances. I have gone up to 8 or so but it gets to be dicey because the HP pool is not large enough to deal with rounding a corner and getting gibbed randomly. It's doable but it feels kinda random as you climb to around 7 or 8. Lab is a very different game than basically everything else because of the way it checks survival sustain so much harder (and weirder, because of the affixes).

Yea, that is for the spell focus bonus, but energy values also give a synergy to total spell damage, the highest two levels being at minimum 1996 energy or 2100 energy.

I was referring to your miniguide where you say you only have about 1100 energy

our gear has slight differences (like you use indigon and i use griffon's, etc, i use an honorific project and you use Visioon), but most is the same yet i have almost 30-40k more damage on askari. this is why i was checking in to see your videos and what might differ
