Info from the gem reveal changes a lot of things Updated PoB: . Black Cane vs Prism Guardian: If you want to go the Black Cane route, I calculate it to be about 1.47 mill dps vs the 1.63 mill of Prism Guardian version. Don't take the dps numbers too seriously as this was rough estimation in an excel. This doesn't include the phantasm DPS, which is about 385k dps assuming 0 frenzy charges (realistically they will get charges). In theory yes it's more DPS with the same eHP, though you pay for it with quality of life and the risk of phantasms dying. Furthermo
