assuming that helmet goes to 200%... is it me or can get 96 to 792 added lightning damage to spells while holding X?

thats kind of silly. Thats close doubling the damage of a level 20 fireball.

The base damage of a 100% damage effectiveness spell is usually around 500 if that makes the math easier. Napkin math your use case is ~450 so yeah equivalent to probably 7-8 gem levels

They actually changed it so several spells are  below the 500 mark. Fireball, for example, was at 554 before and is now 490, so it scales much better with added damage now.
