Grynwald's EK Build[Added Gameplay video][Outdated]

rly nice guide,
u linked your items and thats nice to see how awesome items can be.
i will try this build, but have some questions about the gear.
u got dropped it, u trade it or u craft it your self?

About mana/life leech on gear.
I see you have mana leech on one of your rings. It does have other good stats aswell, perhaps why you picked it.

I started this in the belief that the physical damage from EK would work with life/mana steal on gear and spells, but however it does not since it is a spell. The only thing that works is support mana/life leech :-)

I am trying to run a chain EK with high leech in order to maintain Rightous fire, I will put up my version of the build when I am done.

thanks for the quick reply! I've also been wondering about that. I've heard some people say IR is more effective, but don't really know how. Does same level gear come with more evasion than armor? I'm also worried about having no resists from passives in my build, something going armor + templar tree provides.

maybe it is best to avoid the duelist zone and go through the shadow side for IR =/

The thing about my build is that I pick up the hybrid nodes. ES/EV and ES/Arm,that's how I have high armor and a high ES buffer for Ghost Reaver. By picking pure armor and pure evasion you won't have high enough ES,therefore it's not as a effective.
You don't need that much resists from passive,even if you get the early on, you respec out of them eventually.Nothing to worry about.

Some of it dropped, some of it was crafted, some of it was traded. :)

how do u have 22k armour?

I see. Another question :D. I've seen a lot of EK shadows use the Quill Rain + Heavystroke combo. Are those items effective with your build? I found a perfect Quill Rain today and was wondering if I should invest in a Heavystroke.

Sounds interesting! :)

It's not as effective imo. You can use it early game, but late game...nah :)

What do you think of my slight variation

22k armour is just really surprising with such low EV on your gear. I suppose inner force+determination+grace just adds more then I had expected.

Hmmmm is that 22k with a potion buff? I don't see how your armour is over 10k without a buff.


molten shell must be active? I'm confused.

Did you switch out your gear to pure EV gear before taking the screen shot?

An explanation would be nice, "hmm :P" is not very satisfying. I'm either missing something huge or there is some serious funny business going on.

your using Astramentis right?

also without determination your build has like what 130% armour? that 22k number is pretty deceptive. I'm guessing you have what like 8-10k armour with a standard configuration?

The build looks good.

Well here's a screen shot, figure it out :)

Hey bro would u ever consider using summon skeletons with spell totem over your zombies? or are they just too stronk?

By my calculation you have 214% armor, 1747 evasion from grace and 320 base evasion.

Perhaps something is multiplicative and I'm not aware.

You have 433 armour and 1196 evasion that I can see from gear.

the 433 armour only gets multiplied by 100% of your 214% armour because the remaining 114% is only applied to evasion converted to armour by IR. And your items give only 1196 evasion.

So 433*2 = 866 and (1196+1747+320)3.14 = 10,245 + 866 = 11,111. This is odd because your armour is slightly double that.

Your total armour is 22,586 we can subtract 866(Shield) from this to make things simpler. = 21,700. This means you need 4843 evasion from gear, you have 1196, you are missing 3657 evasion.

Molten shell = 1154 armour * 2 * 1.3 = 3,000. This would give you 14,111 armour. What other shenanigans are you up to?

You must have switched shields/other gear out which is why your character is not in the screen shot.
