What is the value from the calculation in-game?

Test setup: Level 20 Ball Lightning of Static gem with no equipped gear and no passive skill points allocated. A cooldown was added to make PoB display exactly 1 cast per second.

According to the PoE Wiki, Ball Lightning of Static can hit the same target 13 times over its fixed 2-second lifetime.

PoB shows an Average Hit of 255.2.

Therefore:

255.2 × 13 = 3,317.6 total damage over the full 2-second lifetime

Since PoB displays Hit DPS (damage per second), I would expect the damage from those 13 hits to be divided by the 2-second duration:

3,317.6 / 2 = 1,658.8 DPS

However, PoB appears to use all 13 hits for its DPS calculation, effectively treating the damage dealt over the full 2-second lifetime as if it were dealt within 1 second.

Inizia con il codice della build PoE1 all’indirizzo https://pobb.in/6bd23JAGArgD e traccia come vengono combinati il numero di colpi, la durata fissa di 2 secondi e il Hit DPS di Ball Lightning of Static. Riproduci la configurazione di livello 20 senza equipaggiamento con un lancio al secondo, quindi verifica che i 13 colpi siano distribuiti lungo l’intera durata invece di essere trattati come un secondo di danno.
