Grand spectrum ele Jewel build - opinions?

Grand Spectrum Viridian Jewel
5% increased Elemental Damage per Grand Spectrum

So I was thinking about making a Grand Spectrum Jewel character, abusing the "overrated" 980% increased ele damage from 14 jewel sockets seems like a fun idea.

Scion tree:



When it comes to gem choice I'm thinking about something like the spark gem

When @ lvl 20 it does a quite good amount of base dmg

Average coming to about 438 lightning damage.



So using 14 grand spectrum jewels with a 5% increased ele damage each. the math would go something like this..

5*14*14=980 (% increased elemental damage)

438*(1+9.8)=4730.4

4730.4 being the base average damage of the spark jewel, that of course being just the spark gem + 14 grand spectrum ele damage jewels.

Gem final:


Of course the jewels go at a price 1ex~ (in prophecy league) considering their drop conditions are yet to be revealed, but there are some already out on the market, so another question is... Does anybody know where or how they drop?

Cost of jewels with normal gear included = 25ex~ (could probably go much lower, all depends on what gear you'd use. Minimum cost 16ex~? (1ex~ per jewel)


Apologies for anything I've missed, this kinda is my first serious forum post ~ Be gentle :D

It's 980% not multiplied by 980. Divide your numbers by 100.

Still a great base damage which then gets support gems multipliers.

already better xD thx m8. felt like it was a bit too good for thoughts. Will fix that in the post then :)

This gem is tailor made for burning builds. Burning double dips in elemental damage, so something like flameblast is the best option for it.

Flameblast could be a good idea, ye. Don't really know the math that would go into it tho, the stage calculations is beyond me :P

Just multiply base damage by 12

It's 110% more spell damage per stage, but how many stages are there?

Don't you think the extra damage that shock would provide could be good enough to make a choice for lightning gems tho? or would it be better to use fire spells solely for the burn damage?

A 50% boost of damage would be better for bursting right?
Or would the burning damage outdo the 20k extra dps that shock could provide on something like spark?

The formula is still wrong.. If you have 100% increased damage, you have to multiply your base dmg by 2, not 1...

So its 438*(1+9,8)=4730

I am officially bad @ maths.
