Is PoE Ninja showing incorrect stats or does it not take into account certain things? It states my Maul only does 87k when it actually has almost 200k dps when standing in hideout and the actual physical damage of my Maul is over 90k

It’s the first time I’ve used it. I just linked it a few minutes ago so it’s a fresh pull of the character info

Edit: I’ve noticed it doesn’t show my proper Armour values or Spirt or Armor as Ele (It doesn’t show this one at all)

I've been stacking freeze buildup but the stat "chance to inflict ailments" caught my eye. Is it worth investing some points into "chance to inflict ailments" to freeze easier?

I am using COC lvl 17 at 20% quality, it still uses 100 spirit though.
I do not use any support gems that cause extra spirit.

Why? And what can I do about it? I tried to unequip, put it in different skill slots etc, but it doesnt update. Any ideas?

I Corrupted my 3x Grand Spectrum Ruby with Omen of Corruption All of them rolled nothing. Per my understanding "Omen of Corruption" will negate the outcome where nothing happens. My question is if vaal with Omen of Corruption is used to the RUBY is it possible to roll increase or decrease values ?

So ist it worth corrupting all t15 maps with ~110 rarity to get (random) t16 maps? or do i just stick with t15?

I know maps are right now only to fill vaal crystals probably....

Hi, why do higher level tiers of sapphire ring have lower resistance ranges? Would expect them to improve as they go rarer

For example, lightning res goes from +(41-45)% on tier 1 to +(6-10)% on tier 8:
