How to Use the DPS Calculator

Using this Path of Exile DPS calculator is straightforward and intuitive. Follow these steps to get accurate damage calculations for your build:

The calculator uses the exact damage formula from Path of Exile: (Base + Added) × (1 + Increased) × More × Critical × Resistance

POE Damage Optimization Tips

Maximize your Path of Exile build's damage potential with these expert optimization strategies:

• Balance Your Scaling: Diversify between increased damage, more damage, critical strikes, and attack/cast speed for optimal DPS growth
• Understand Diminishing Returns: Increased damage sources are additive, so stacking one type becomes less effective over time
• Prioritize More Multipliers: More damage modifiers are multiplicative and generally provide better scaling than increased damage
• Critical Strike Investment: High critical chance with good multiplier can dramatically increase your DPS
• Enemy Resistance Matters: Use penetration or resistance reduction against high-tier content for maximum effectiveness
• Damage Effectiveness: Skills with low damage effectiveness benefit less from flat added damage sources
• Attack Speed vs Damage: Find the right balance - sometimes faster attacks with lower damage per hit are more effective
• Elemental vs Physical: Consider conversion mechanics and available scaling options for your chosen damage type
• Support Gem Synergy: Choose support gems that work well together and complement your skill's mechanics
• Aura Optimization: Factor in aura effects when planning your damage scaling strategy

Remember that effective DPS against actual enemies includes factors like accuracy, enemy resistances, and practical combat scenarios. This calculator provides the theoretical maximum to help you compare different scaling approaches and make informed decisions about your build.
