I am not noticing a huge increase when it should be

for example, I had like 1,5k DPS multiplyier to use and from 1,39e111 dps y just raised to 3,46e111

That doesnt sound to me like 1 x1,5k plus DPS increase...

How many times have you used it before that? It's additive, not multiplicative...

Since the skill is additive, you'll see decreasing returns each time you use it. The formula works as...

(DPS) x (1 + Base Storm Rider buff x number of times used)

So let's use small numbers to make this easy to read. Assuming your base DPS is 100 and you Storm Rider buffs 50% per use...

If you use it once: (100) x (1 + 0.5 x 1) ---> 100 x (1.5) = 150

If you use it twice: (100) x (1 + 0.5 x 2) ---> 100 x (2) = 200

If you use it thrice: (100) x (1 + 0.5 x 3) ---> 100 x (2.5) = 250

Notice how 150, 200, 250 is not adding 50% of the previous number each time (150 + 50% would be 225). After so many uses, the visible change in your DPS becomes less and less impressive.

or using his numbers 1.39 and 3.46 he got a 150% increase (2.5x)
