2.4 theorycrafting

Did again the simulation changing a few things that didn't make sense and still the numbers are very high compared to other classes:

I dunno, take a look at it and let me know if there's something wrong. It looks fine to me now, with the right APS. Just the numbers are VERY high compared to other classes. With this, a party of 3 DMO Wizards + Support Barb should do insane damage.

2nd best would be Roland Crusader with Sweep Attack with 2.2T:

3rd place is for M6 Chrakram DH with 1.4T damage:

I tried to simulate Invoker Crusader but I dont think d3planner is working fine with Thorns ... it's not considering bombardment damage from the belt and that's a lot of damage missing in the simulation:

Also noticed that d3planner doesn't consider any cooldown reduce items like ORotZ ring or Akarat's Awakening shield. It's just a straight simulation based on skills cooldown (considering sheet CDR only). Builds that rely on this items to reduce cooldowns will be off by quite some damage.

Didn't bother to simulate any of the LoN builds. That will take forever to gear.

Is the simulation calculating properly? 9 trillion DPS seems so utterly broken that it will get nerfed week 1, especially if the second best is 2.2 trillion.

Also darque's group planner sims at 32 trillion. http://www.d3planner.com/968930983 and 37 trillion http://www.d3planner.com/882367074

In this template you never hit with a resource-spending attack so the zodiac ring in the cube won't work as intended. Chakram is considered as resource-generating attack. Therefore Vengeance will only be up ~33% of time, etc.

U are absolutely right. d3planner is working fine with ORotZ. Need to test it ingame tho, see if it actually doesn't proc ORotZ but it makes sense that it doesn't. Added RRoG + Leoric Crown and damage went up 50b. Tho I don't think d3planner works with Akarat's Awakening shield which reduces cooldown based on successful blocks.

PS: Something very interesting to test is if Sentry Guardian Turrets stack the damage reduction. I know your own Turrents don't stack, but read a long time ago the ones from your party stack. If that's the case, that would be very nice for a multiboxing setup. Also, u can go with an Elusive Ring in cube and Shadow Power instead MotD or even Vengeance for a huge toughness boost.
