When choosing between + damage and intelligence (necro) am I better off going with intelligence every time?
Also, my critical strike bonus is 1,258 and my crit is 55 percent. How would you raise you damage from this point. I am stuck between T2 and T3. I steam roll T2 but I struggle in T3, I just don’t do enough damage. So what would give me the most bang for my buck?
I have read all the really good mathematical post and the formulas. But I am quit stoopid when it come to all that ;(.
I guess it probably depends on the actual values. But in general, from what I understand, boosting your primary stat will be preferred because it provides a multiplicative damage boost, whereas the +damage is additive.
Sounds like you’ve invested in crit stuff, if you’re finding it’s not significantly boosting your damage, then I guess take a look at the thing that you’re trying to boost (e.g. what skills are you using, where is the damage coming from?) and try to boost that damage before crit is factored in. (And remember that Damage Over Time stuff doesn’t crit.)
What kind of build are you doing? I know very little about Necro. But for certain builds (Blood Lance for instance?) you want to focus on Overpower stuff, but I guess that’d be obvious if you were doing that.
And of course, check the class forums if you didn’t already, you’re more likely to get specific/good advice there.
Minion or bone necro you want int, crit chance and crit damage.
Blood necros are typically overpower builds. You want life and overpower damage. If you can work in high crit chance and crit damage it is a big plus.
If you can get the Heir of Perdition mythic with a few MW rolls on crit chance and a few pieces of gear with crit chance on it you can get it to 100%.
just a FYI I have a Blood Surge build, 100% crit chance, 800% crit damage and 9000% overpower damage and it struggles on T4. It can kill just fine but even with max resists and armor it dies alot unless I am real careful. It shreds T3. My Spiritborn with junk gear slaughters everything in T4 without issue. So don’t think you are doing something wrong if you aren’t doing the damage you think you should.

Yes.

Crit Rate > Crit Damage since consistency > burst due to downtime between strikes.
Core of the game is to stack multipliers and to concentrate stacks as able keeping whatever you’re using as active as possible. Take [ x ] > [ + ] every time you can everywhere you can.
I recommend YouTube.
Strange. My blood Surge build is basically immortal and I am not even completely capped in resistances. I favoured damage nodes in my Paragon boards over resistance nodes. T4 is super easy. Found my limit in the Pit due to the lack of damage.
For the OP. Maybe you just don’t have yet good enough gear. If you are comfortable in T2, stay in that difficulty and try to find Ancestrals with the stats you need. Masterwork them. If you managed to get to T3, that means you completed Pit 50. Try to level your Glyphs to Legendary (46). Running the Pit will give you XP and additional Paragon points. See if you can pick nodes that boost your damage.
