Your calculations are a bit off.. you are doing 12.077 phys dmg(2982*4.05) per crit and 2899 cold damage per crit(716*4.05).. i have no idea where you got 120k phys and 28k cold from O_O

You can see how its calculated herehttp://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Critical_Strike

Per knife. EK casts 10. DERP.

only 1 hits an enemy, they dont shotgun dude, i could one shot 77 map bosses if they shotgunned

I can hit an enemy with more then 1 knife, no idea what you are on about.

It does not do more damage than 1 knife per enemy, only 1 knife can hit 1 enemy, they do not shotgun.

have a qoute from mark in case you dont belive it, from the second page of the EK skill feedback

What's the spread on the spell like? Can you tag a guy with more than 1 projectile at close range with it?

No. Only one projectile can hit each target. For This skill, we specifically implemented the ability to turn off the 'shotgun' behaviour for some spell projectiles.

Super. Clearly can see my EK hit multiple enemies and on the same enemy, crit and they die. Not interested in carrying out this with someone butthurt for no reason over a few numbers posted.

Edit: It isn't even relevant how many knives hit 1 target, the damage is still all there. Quit attempting to be a know it all douche. Thanks.

Oh well, but he's right. EK behaves differently from other projectile spells in that only one projectile can hit an enemy, just like projectile attacks.

Cannot deny the mega damage it does none the less. I could put on 3 more dps supports but his head might explode from the numbers.

And your iiq iir? This is the only thing that matters to me. Not dps. Stop posting here too please, don't need anymore of this crap flooding this topic. This is here to help people, not for envious retards posting crap. PM me anymore responses, thanks.

Hey Guys,

you should just both calm down, rly.
I Think both of you have some valid points and both of you might have overacted in a different manner.

As said before i rly appreciate terrex's work here, it has helped me alot, so let's all be nice and enjoy this great game.
It's just sad that this mirrors standard D3-Chat behaviour, i allways check this thread once in a while and it had such a nice tone to it, let's just keep it this way.

A little progress update:

Ill hit lvl72 today, still all self-found i crafted some nice 508ES Chest today using only 2 Alchs and a scouring.
4,1k ES and 4,2k DPS now. I will refuse to spend any big amounts of currency as long as i can progress in this way because i can safe up lots of currency that way.
So, thx a bunch terrex :)

I think that not going for any castspeed nodes early was a very good decision, as it makes mana management much easier, you can just go for some more crit/dmg early on and increase the mana leeched while not spending to much in a short amount of time (i am 1-2 shotting stuff anyways even with my crappy gear while farming mostly docks/catacombs and lvl66 maps)

I also rly like the body and soul nodes as they also improve your granites, which is very helpfull against archers sometimes.

Keep it up terrex and thx alot, but id still suggest you to not call ppl retards, you seem to be more of a nice guy after all ;)

Cheers,

hey i want to start that build and want to ask you guys will this work with low life shavronne pain att. and wondertrap? i thought of using the ghost reaver tree so you have ES leech and 30% spell dmg with pain att. and replace the iir gem with wondertrap.
or is this 100 iir not worth it for loosing the chaos immune and frenzy charges? or better buy a high es 6l armor instead of shavr. to use ES leech and the iir gem cause i would prefer more surviabillity
