Understanding stats on items?

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

So, first 110 now. Looking over some items I got a long the way.

I know a lot of people like a lot of stats in ARPG’s, but I find it a bit clunky/confusing, so I would like some guidance :smiley:

Damage per sec on character sheet. IS IT ACCURATE? Can it be trusted?

First picture here for weapons. Kinda hard to tell what weapon is the best? Obviously the Panetti weapon seems insane with that much sheet damage, but then comes the other weapon with -resist stats…And if -resist is just close to being like Diablo 2, it would be very strong to stack

And then this off-hand is another hard one. The cataclysmic one gives 1.2k more sheet DPS

This game has so much stats it feels a bit bloated. It’s not that I want Diablo 3 like stats, but…Still! Not first time I wondered about these things, but I figured Id ask now in regards to 2 things here…Weapon’s and off-hand’s

Thanks for any help.

Panetti Missile can’t apply the RR in the Mindwarp. Unless you get weapon damage through Mythical Spellgaze and Arcanum Sigillis. Of course you can’t use the latter with Mindwarp and the former only gives 18% weapon damage (same for the Arcanum Sigillis). And you can’t apply the full RR because there’s no way to reach 100% weapon damage on Panetti.

Or can just use a secondary skill with 100% weapon damage to apply the RR.

It seems you are going elemental damage, so of course the panetti wand is better. Same for the Cataclysm Eye because Farrath’s Cube supports cold only.

Thanks ! Helpful, I was just thinking the -res or anything on items like it, would be a hidden thing the DPS sheet dosen’t count. I guess the DPS on the character sheet can be trusted then :slight_smile:
