im not sure how this would scale with 21lvl EK, atm im getting gear for my EK to reroll it :) i wanna make tree most effective and i will try this for sure:) i need my gear back on sc to test it, will do it later today:)

Cool, let me know if it works! It gives me more dps in my EK build, which is why I suggest it.

20lvl ek.
OK, GOT GEAR BACK :P was lucky to catch friend with it hehe

Master of Force dps:

15 747

Thickery + casts:

15 659


a bit lower :) might scale better with added chaos now, but still it wouldnt be better than faster casting gem i think. need sell some items on sc, i will buy like 100 regrets and few items for better tests, im open for suggestions :P

edit...//:
19lvl added chaos has around 14k dps. dont think its any good w/o Cherubbim to begin with. maybe luckily corrupted 21lvl add.ch

edit...//:
i have 58/57 ratpith on BEYOND, dont think it will land on SC very soon but im rly curious how this 10spelldmg would work, and i have yet better wand to get, 85/20 is what i would aim for, i think i could get around 19k dps with better upgrades, i wouldnt rly recommend Thickery for HC bcoz of its crit chance, i wanna keep my crit possibly at lowest chance to be safe at reflects, so slight upgrade on dps wouldnt from crit chance wouldnt be good for HC :) its only 20% but still :P

Interesting. I guess Trickery is better for my build because its elemental damage gives Hatred a nice boost thanks to all the aura nodes I take.

I would forget about replacing Faster Casting with Added Chaos. Added Chaos gives less damage and reflect... Have you had any issues with reflect? The only time I've been worried (never killed, but worried) is when I hit a double physical reflect mob (physical reflect rolled on map + "allies reflect physical damage" monster surrounded by mooks). However, I run a lvl 22 Arctic Armour, so that helps to mitigate damage.

i can run physical reflect modded maps, spellblocks and spelldodges helps with it and allow to hit it (ofc its a bit slower in clear) :) i NEVER had any problems with reflects, hit few times yolo on double reflect (map mod + mob) and no reep. i have 2 guys in my guild and 1 from friend list running this build and i didnt hear about any problems with reflects :)
rolled once vulner + phys ref map. thats only problem for this build beacuse of almost no armour, but once again, most of reflected hits are dodged or blocked :)

we have 45% to dodge, which makes 55% of hits to reflect, if dodge wont work we have 65% chance(around) to spellblock... that would make around 20% of hits to reflect, we can easy leech life back in time we dodge/block most of hits and u cant rly get 1hit reep on reflect.

Would the unique Mortem Morsu be nice with EK? It converts 10-20% physical damage to chaos damage, but I don't know if he would suffer from mana...
Another thing, what about tempest shield-reduced mana-blind as a 2nd aura?

this claw is garbage :) conversion wont boost dmg... its still conversion. no sense to drop 80spell dmg and cast speed from regular caster weapon for small conversion.
tempest shield is optional for this build. blind is 0% mana multiplier so it would work for sure. was using it like this on nemesis and was ok :p

how are you doing with mana management? I'm only level 22 and run a lvl1 clarity which helps a bit but 2 mana pots feel mandatory so far.

edit: i mean before adding BM... (which is when btw? around lvl 60 or before?)

yeah something around it :P or when u get 5Link... Dark seer gives alot mana and u dont need potions tbh while lvling.
add BM into 5Link
or add BM while upgrading from Dark seer.

edit..//

charisma aura node is very important. u need it before adding BM gem. so u can run herald hatred and grace at once
