X build does 2.4m damage, how is that calculated?

I put my own build into Path of Building and it only shows the dps of my skill. Doesn't show any insane numbers like that. Even when ticking off stuff I don't even have. So, what exactly would I be doing wrong?

For those that may wonder, currently level 71 doing tier 5 maps without breaking a sweat and everything melts like its butter.

its all calculated with path of building. if you don't get those numbers then you're not doing that damage.

it can get a little messy calculating it, however. it won't always straight up show you 2,400,000 dps vs shaper. things like molten strike are only calculated per ball etc.

this is more important than some numbers


couple of things:

* some people are possessed with PoB numbers. For epeen purposes they sometimes max up everything in PoB including stuff they cant reliably count with (for example you cant expect to have all the damage flasks up all of the time during Shaper fight).. or they have unrealistically good items in PoB..

* the game is full of multipliers. when there are many of them then slightly increasing all of them will lead to big difference. The difference between fully min-maxed level 100 character (top tier gear, 21/20 gems etc) and solid geared lvl 75 char will be huge..

PoB is extremely accurate, essentially perfect as far as in game output goes for the vast majority of skill with consistent hit output as long as you make an effort to not check every temp buff in the game in the configs tab.

Not sure what you mean, are you saying you're doing well despite pob reporting modest figures?

Yes I am saying I'm doing well. I think it could be the skill I'm using, perhaps the dps is per hit, I don't know. I'm using cyclone, so I'm going to look into how that's calculated. Most enemies die from the first hit of my cyclone, which does half damage.

Well keep in mind you're at tier 5 which don't have as much health as t15+ and event bosses. Boss health scales extremely high at higher tiers though non boss mobs tend to not scale as much as you may find that you still stomp most mobs.

pob does calculate cyclone as per hit damage, and it also gives you your attack speed so its dps is pretty accurate.

i dunno i've never had pob correctly display my attack speed, but maybe its just my builds/skills that end up being different for whatever reason.

anyway, cyclone is not a skill which will probably ever showcase millions of dps in tooltip. very high cyclone damage in pob is like 800k dps, just to give you something to shoot for i guess
