    Correction: Vulnerable damage is additive with itself, not multiplicative (I was misinformed from a conversation yesterday). This makes it slightly less powerful than I show in the video but still the single strongest scalar we have. Correct formula is (20% + Vulnerable Effectiveness) as its own multiplier.

    I was of the impression that +all dmg% is it's own dmg bucket multiplier, separate from the big general dmg bucket and in most instances (excluding vulnarable, overpower etc) the way to tell which bucket a bonus goes into is to look for the [+] or [x] when advanced details are enabled. + is the large general damage bucket. x is the all dmg% bucket. It's good to scale up your x since + is so easy to get, as a general rule. Another tip is to be careful to check your stats outside of town. In town certain effects get disabled so the stat page can be inaccurate.

    The breakpoints means that every tier in item power, the item can have higher level stats on it. So let's say a 149 item power weapon gives a range of critical strike damage between 10 to 20%. The 150 item power weapon (either found or upgraded into) if it has critical damage too, will have a range of 15-25%(not actual numbers just an example). So keep an eye out while lower level before finding 725+ item power gear. If you find something right before a breakpoint, you can upgrade it, get the higher tier range of the same stats the item has

    This is the best D4 Video on how it all work that I have seen so far. Everything you said about looking to your skills in your build and what makes your builds life easier is 100% on point. Never build then same numbers on a build tree as another unless the dmg is the same, ie overpower, crt, ect. {not element that is something that does not matter like D2 even though the dmg in D4 is close to D2 they are not so much element based for resistance popping. May change in future keep eyes peeled.} The only thing I could even add to this is make sure you increase the size of your Cursor (to others not you.) and go into accessibility to turn on Hero Highlights and NPC Highlights to make it easier to see the important people on your screen (highlights you even in the dark pools everyone is crying about). And since you sound like your from the old school of gaming let me help you set a bit and close your ears. You can turn off most of the sounds for drops and turn on the sound of when you mouse over some things to give a Q for when you can not see the thing. For what seems like the only person online still playing games and not trying to just break them I just want to say, "Great job on staying true to the video game and not the bugs". There is a correction on the video for everyone that reads this. Was corrected 7days before my post.

And I got a really nice 2H sword early on, much as you got a really good weapon early. It has a LOT of strength. My question is, and I know you addressed this in your spreadsheet but I think I just am missing a detail- since everything is based off my main stat, at what point is it numerically worth it to lose main stat for things like crit or status damage? I know you literally answer this but I am just really struggling to process it for some reason. Thank you!

    I can only speak for Barb, but you get Vuln, Crit Damage, over Strength, which is third on priority. Weapon Damage is only important for the weapon you use to do your main skill. Otherwise, you want to use the weapon slots to accumulate high crit and vuln. Strength and then additives. Damage to close enemies, unfortunately, has the issue suppressor does. If you start WW far away and on the same channel get close, you get no benefit until starting close to the mob.

    One thing channels seem to leave out of the discussion, is your characters primary stat along with the "all" stats line. If you have a piece of gear with all things the same, except one piece has 70 INT on it and the other piece has 60 to all stats... which is better? Obviously even for a sorcerer, increase to armor, critical, etc gets covered with all stats...but is it more important to just focus on the extra 10 INT over all of that? and what is the gap point that you look for?

    That's what is kind of misleading. I got a new staff that had higher attack power, showing 50+ green. But I was doing less damage. That's because the staff itself only had elemental bonuses to each element. Like: Lightning, fire, cold. My old staff with less attack power having 14+ core skill damage, 20% vulnerable, 20% crowd controlled etc. Casting a basic cast the "new" staff with just basic damage would do more. But that doesn't mean anything when actually doing crit damage and taking advantage of enemy states like vulnerable and crowd controlled etc. Give a much higher damage dump. I noticed it immediately I wasn't doing much damage and I felt under levelled. So the sub bonus stats are highly important. Especially aimed at what your build is based on. If it's a frost nova, Ice shard build. Vulnerable damage is highly meaningful and crit+crit chance etc.

    What I'm really struggling with is knowing how my average damage output, dps and maximum hit all take into account all of this. There are times where my build feels like it's doing way more dps and average hits, but the max hit is reduced a lot. And the opposite. I really think Blizzard needs to add a Post-Dungeon stat page where you can analyze how your damage was and see where you're either lacking or overshooting. Currently I just have to go off "what item gives me the highest number once all my damage is stacked properly" instead of how well that item performs overall. Once I changed all my gear to have Crit and Vuln as the main factors I could notice a MASSIVE and drastic change in the dps I could put out. But I have no idea if Changing 1 Vuln stat to let's say Stunned enemy damage or Close enemy damage would be beneficial, especially once you take into account all the aspects also giving those types of stats and not being aware where in the damage formula those are taken into account. The most success I've had with my builds is just blindly following the Meta build with trying to mimic the stats of the "BiS gear" displayed on the meta build. It's pretty much a 95% resemblance and the only real things I'm missing are God-rolls for all my gear as I already have all the stats I think I want. Finding gear that's actually an upgrade is becoming borderline impossible which is fine because that's what endgame is. Grinding tiny upgrades just to achieve those higher numbers (even though they aren't a lot bigger). What I'm asking is; Is crit dmg, crit chance, vuln damage that strong in the formula that changing it out would plummet my damage? Or is it just plummeting my maximum hit and making my build overall have higher dps and average hit damage?

    It's gonna depend on too many factors to give you an answer without seeing your entire character. 300 on the weapon's dps stat is a significant difference, especially on a 1h weapon. If the 2 good stats on the new weapon are vuln and crit damage, then it's probably an upgrade, but if it's missing one or both of those, it's probably worse. Again, this is heavily dependent on your other gear and exactly how your character and build does damage. Without more concrete data or a damage calc, your best bet is to run a dungeon with each weapon to see if you can feel any difference.

    You absolutely do not *need* Raiment for Ice Shards to work. It's more a convenience item than anything since you never just stun a pack without using Frost Nova anyway, and the range on Frost Nova is as big as the pull on the Raiment. The best thing about it is that it lets you (for the most part) safely jump into a pack without being hit before using Frost Nova. It absolutely does nothing at all on bosses without adds, and you do need a better chest for them later on, especially if you plan on doing Uber Lilith. A -%dmg reduction from Burning enemies, -%dmg reduction, +15% damage, and either +10% armor or -20% damage reduction from close enemies chest is what you want.

    Against very specific bosses (literally the only end game boss in the game) yes, a pure defense chest is ideal. However, the QoL of playing the build with a Raiment cannot be overstated. I played for a few days without it and it's a night and day difference putting it back on. More than convenience, it activates the 35% more damage to stunned enemies aspect, giving me much more damage when I do hit that frost nova. Also it absolutely does do something to bosses without ads. It builds quite a bit of stagger meter, helping get to DPS phase sooner. There may be a world where I have to put a pure defense chest back on but I'm doing T45-T50 nightmare dungeons with the Raiment and it feels great.

    Great explanation, but I think Blizz has definitely over complicated this. A lot of these stats should be consolidated so it's not so much work to go through gear and figure out what's better. And while I love the idea of the aspects being what makes an item legendary, it also means we have to evaluate at LOT more gear now to determine if it's a potential upgrade. In D3 if it wasn't a legendary we just ignored it and sold/salvaged it. In D4 every yellow could potentially be an upgrade. It's just a lot more work and slow.

    ​@@subtractemsorry I should have added more to that statement😅 in your video you said these.,"Break point," are not end all be all. You can be under those numbers in that list and still kick out lots of damage. In your video you changed your gear and your power lv dropped but you forgot to show how many int points you lost when you changed it. I ran into the same thing but since int. Wis. Dex Plays a BIG part of how much damage you kick out you have to watch those numbers. I'm only lv 53 with my mother nature build. And I've never lost in PvP to a lv 60+.... Yet that is lmao. And I don't have all my slots and I only have my gear to lv 3. With stuff I found in the ground.. I tell everyone get the skills /aspect you want for your builds, make them work together then think about your stats as your Lving. People say druid is bad at the start and that's not true. Sink up your skills first. The damage builds up from them. Stats are that power creep people are looking for so they don't have to play the game at a normal pace.. it's not effective to rush the game to hit a wall that only the NEXT season can save you from.
