Hey, just saw your reply. Thank you!!


"Darkscorn is more for defense. It's on par with a rare bow for damage, but a perfect roll rare can be more damage"

Are you sure? Can anyone help me and tell me if they actually get more DPS out of their build with a well rolled Darkscorn? The damage calculation is the most confusing thing for me.

My Bow:

Adds 58 to 128 Chaos Damage
+80 to Accuracy Rating
Curses Enemies With Level 10 Despair On Hit
25% Chance To Poison On Hit
40% Increased Damage with Poison
+35% To Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier
60% Chance for poisons inflicted with this weapon to deal 100% more damage

Darkscorn:

145% increased Physical Damage
Adds 16 to 28 Physical Damage
20% increased Attack Speed
25% increased Global Accuracy Rating
25% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage
25% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Chaos Damage
20% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 300% more Damage


Im at work now, can't check POB. But I can remember my total Poison DPS.
With my rare bow, I ended up at around 4,4 Million DPS.
With Darkscorn added in POB, my Poison damage drops by almost a million!


Also, technically its the same, right:

60% Chance for poisons inflicted with this weapon to deal 100% more damage
and
20% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 300% more Damage


In POB I replace these mods with "60% Increased Damage with poison".
How is it possible, that my Poison DPS drops this crazy?
I really want to try Darkscorn, but even the best defenses won't convince me to drop like 25% total DPS. Or am I doing something wrong with my calculation?
Everyone is saying, only the best rare bows can compete with Darkscorn DPS-wise.

Darkscorn is THE bow both for defense and offense. It's easily outperforming my near perfect rare bow:

While the rare bow has a lot of nice mods, You get a lot more from the high physical damage to chaos conversion on darkscorn. the flat chaos damage you get this way is higher than on any rare bow.

This is incorrect. Your rare bow is on pair with darkscorn offensively, yes, but it is far from perfect, because it lacks attack speed. Add attack speed to it in POB and you will see that it nets 700k more dps than darkscorn.

Just bought Darkscorn and divine flesh, I don't think I'm more tankier at all. I still get one shotted from some bosses I also lost tons of DPS. DPS lost is because my previous bow had increased poison damage, despair on hit, increased chaos damage over time. Darkscorn has none, now I have to despair monsters manually because of that I can't use blood rage so only positive thing on Darkscorn DPS wise, attack speed is not that important because I already could get attack speed from blood rage. I also lost a jewel socket, which I got tons of DPS from.

I mean if this is a glass cannon build why do we even bother with Darkscorn? Because it doesn't even help.

Have you capped your chaos resistance? I'm way tankier after I got Darkscorn and Divine Flesh.
