Staff Knockbacker: Maximum knockback with hegemony's era (GS / SS)
" Needs a BM gem? ;) Costs about 90 per use in a 6L. I'm paying it off mana (2% leech, a bit regen). That's the good side of walking all the way on 10 int nodes. ;) With a couple of mana affixes...

...it's all fine. If you wanna be really safe, use Clarity instead of Ele Prolif. But that takes away this wonderful "whole screen is burning after crit" experience. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519 Last edited by Peterlerock#5171 on Nov 13, 2014, 10:20:01 AM

Hmmm, and arent monsters moved out of your range? I fix that problem/feature by using AoE and HoA, and getting up close with GS.
Anyway, I will just try it. Can just replace the accuracy gem ;) Last edited by siliconlife#3381 on Nov 13, 2014, 11:08:06 AM

Because of Conc Effect?
I swap it for increased AoE in easy maps (I carry that in my 6th slot in the staff), but because of Ele Prolif, not a lot of monsters manage to escape, even with Conc (48% inc AoE, 30% less, that's 103% of original radius, and enough to overkill some of the monsters and burn the rest). ;) 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519

If your goal is to go for max knockback, why don't you just use heavy strike + melee splash?

" Nope. I can't even sustain it with a 5l and 6% mana leech, and EE. Not even close. Probably the attack speed difference (1.37 vs 1.18). Ok i only got 12.8 mana/s. Last edited by siliconlife#3381 on Nov 13, 2014, 2:09:45 PM

" Because heavy strike and melee splash is the worst combination ever. Or, in general heavy strike, as you push away the target from the melee range, meaning i cant hit them after one hit. Completely unusable. |

" Adding more mana leech doesn't do shit. 12.5% of your mana pool per second is cap, and you'll easily get there with 2% mana leech. You need to build your gear around it a little bit, but it's not too complicated to get to mana pool/maana regen/mana leech to sustain cyclone. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519

I like GS more than cyclone. Cyclone is desync deluxe.
Traded my voll's for a carcass jack... wasted 2 ex to color it. Like 5 times times 3r, but never 3r2g, always 3r2b. Now completely broke. FML. |

Managed to 3R2B1G it AGAIN... (how unlucky can i be...)
The increased area is really makes a difference, clear speed is much higher. HoA kills things offscreen pretty reliably, and with IIQ :-). Maybe i do a video soon. Now i need to go from ES items (head (selffound), gloves, shoes) to EV based. because EV rocks :-) Last edited by siliconlife#3381 on Nov 15, 2014, 4:52:52 AM

" What colors do you want and how do you try? Still RRRGGB? I'd actually prefer your RRRGBB setup. But with Increased AoE/Conc Effect swap instead of increased critical strikes. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519 Last edited by Peterlerock#5171 on Nov 15, 2014, 5:55:27 AM
