the coral wand base is somehow doing much more damage than any other base when using spirit plague

i did tons of testing and this is 100% a bug

u r using the exalted version of a curse necrotic base with higher, better and more relevant affixes for your curse necrotic spell than the rare lower item level lower base dmg less affixes lightning dmg base while your gear, your passive and ur skill tree support necrotic without supporting any elemental or lightning dmg, and yet the rare lightning wand does more dmg than the exalted necrotic one …
if this is working as intended, i am 100% playing the wrong game
adding any amount of shock chance doesnt affect spirit plagues dps at all using coral wands
the same is true for spell crit multi, which makes the rare wand having only spell dmg + ignite compared to the exalted with higher base dmg, correct element, curse dmg, spell dmg, necrotic dmg and exalted damage over time
how is less lightning dmg better than more necrotic + curse + dot + extra necrotic dmg for a necrotic dot curse ?
