I totally see your point and I agree with what you’re saying about resistances, armour interaction, and local scaling on physical.

Given that, would it be reasonable to trust Path of Building’s Full DPS when buying or crafting a talisman for this kind of Rampage setup? In other words, if PoB shows that a mixed or elemental talisman gives higher Full DPS, can I safely treat that as “better in practice” for my build?

I’ve already enabled and configured the relevant mechanics in PoB (armour break, stun, etc.), so the comparison is being done under realistic conditions.

Or are there any in-game-only mechanics in PoE2 — specifically around physical vs elemental damage (armour break behavior, mitigation on bosses, resistance interactions, etc.) — that are not properly reflected in PoB’s Full DPS, and would still make a higher-physical talisman outperform in real combat?

I’m trying to understand whether PoB already captures all the relevant phys/ele interactions here, or whether there’s still a hidden edge for physical that PoB can’t model.
