How many surge buffs should I put on my legs in a sanguine alchemy wellock build?

[solemn sierra]

I heard that sanguine's marked target buff applies 2 surges, so does that mean I need to run 1 surge to get max surges? what about the matching subclass element damage? does that count as 3 surges?

[tardy robin]

the mark is separate from the surges, the surges given by sanguine are 4 surges, which you can't obtain via armor mods

not sure who told any of those things about sanguine but they have no idea what sanguine does

I may have taken a reddit post from 2 years ago as fact 😭

so I can 3 stack surges and get full usage from well buff, sanguine marked, and triple leg surges?

[tardy robin]

sanguine will override your surges (if the elements match), so while standing in a well/any rift you will get x4 surges that match your current super element and when you shoot an enemy they'll be marked

the mark adds an extra 10% received damage from the sanguine user only and applies to all forms of damage, not just weapon

outside of well and rifts you'll benefit from however many surges you have on your boots

remove the double space and you got yourself a spreadsheet with a lot of information about most things in d2

it gets constantly updated
