Commented on How to Optimize Your DPS by Balancing Stats page

The question on everyones mind may be, if I gear for shadow towers can I still do U10? Short Answer - Yes if you use dmg emblems at this time of writing.

Let's pretend we want to farm U10 on a 5/7 15/9 Gunslinger (formally 3/6 13/5), our Base Light should be ~3800L rating fully augmented/gear/pearls, and you'll be doing about 22.6% of your normal damage.

I'll compare damage numbers from Overcharged (in millions, dmg emblem), taking boosts out of MD or CD.

Our Base with no Light boosts: 160.971 x 0.226, 36.38m

-2800MD|+200L: 158.196 x 0.255, 40.34m

-40CD|+200L: 158.219 x 0.255, 40.34m

In this case, is a 1.7% dmg ST reduction worth a 3.9~4% dmg increase in u10? Is it even necessary? (3) 36 or 40 million dmg shots don't change any outcomes to wether a U10 mob dies in less hits.

 

You want the NN? Haxstar below

Same layout No Light boosts: 496.667 x 0.266, 132.11m, still overkills

No emblem: 198.666 x 0.266, 52.84m, could oneshot most 1*'s

-2800PD|+200L: 195.241 x 0.255, 49.78m, uh oh we're worse off

-40CD|+200L: 195.179 x 0.255, 49.77m, not good

 

Things could change but that's how they are at this time. Not having a fully agumented NN myself, I hit for 97m and if I can only get around ~68% of that in the least likely of cases, 65m? dmg emblems are here to stay for farming.
