How are the DPS calculated ??

Hi everyone,

I play a stormweaver with spark as main spell. I wonder if the amount of DPS shown on the right of the spell when you type "G" includes the "gain #% as extra cold/lightning/fire damage".

In my case, i bought a staff with :

- +6 lvl of all spells
- gain 59% of dmg as extra lightning dmg
- gain 55% of dmg as extra cold dmg
- 52% increased cast speed
- 2 other affix irrelevant for this post

and i have a staff with :

- +5 lvl of all spells
- gain 45% of dmg as extra fire dmg
- 267% increased spell dmg
- 52% increased cast speed
- 2 other affix irrelevant for this post

After watching videos of how calculation works in poe2, i found out that "#% increased spell dmg" only scales on "flat" dmg of the spell, which are not so high.

I thought the "extra lightning damages" and "extra cold damages" would add much more damages because i have many things that scale on these types + 1 lvl of all spell on the new staff.

However when i equipped the new one i droped from 21900 DPS to 20147 DPS.
So before i sell the staff i just bought, can someone tell me if the "extra cold/lightning damages" are considered in the calculation of the DPS ?

Thanks to whoever helps me,

dps shown in game is never right as so many other things are effecting you in battle. you'll need to use a tool like POB if you want actual numbers that takes everything into account. https://pathofbuilding.community/
