1.1UPDATED- ETHEREAL KNIVES CRIT & MAP GUIDE - ES TANK w/ CHAOS INOC- LVLING INFO + PASSIVES + VIDS

I don't know if this is in any of the videos, but I would like to see what happens when you crit on a medium sized reflect pack, with and without granites up. I don't see how you could survive that sort of thing, and a build that gets one-shot by reflect isn't a viable build to me.

I tried to add you in-game to thank but I never saw you online xD, just wanted to thank you for the guide, I'm using it as first char and so char im doing good, the only problema is that I get excited and forgot about reflect and end up dead cause I spammed EK xD. Right now I'm level 68, I would like to know what do you think about my gear and how do you manage to keep those str and dex gems, cause I need onyx pendant to keep it ><. Saving points for CI now xD

^^^Ditto. How do you match Str reqs on gems? I'm at 154 str WITH Deshret's Vise (+100 str) but obviously I'd like to replace those. Without them I won't even have enough for reduced mana gems. My build variant is very tight on points and picking up +30s kinda hurts.

Do all of those regular crit nodes even do anything for this build? If you're using EK as your main source of damage those 45% increased crit chance nodes do literally nothing, don't they? Since EK is a spell and not an attack, it shouldn't have any effect on the ability's chance to crit.

So do those crit nodes actually do anything for EK or are they just wasted points in the end?

Global crit nodes will affect everything. :)

This is anarchy or normal build right? Because on ur leveling builds, there no single hp nodes.

Normal, only league I play.

Hey there. Checking out the gear it looks not bad. A bit more ES on the gear would be helpful I think. It can be tough to obtain though... The res looks pretty good spread throughout so it just looks like you gotta work on a some upgrades / hopefully some RNG in drops will turn out.

I got 27 str from my amulet and the rest passives.

If you crit a medium sized reflect pack you will die. Use spark. Might as well run into a bunch of enemies til you die. Use your judgement on when to cast in this situation or really don't cast on a lot of phys reflect monsters... That would be silly.

Yo,

First of all thanks for the guide/details,

I'm actually lvl 60 and it's been pretty funny to play this.

I got a question/hesitation. I'm thinking of getting both
+3 Power charges
AND Ghostreaver + life leech.

So it would basically be a 5L : EK + Faster Proj + Pcoc + Life leech + Mana leech. Do you think it's gonna be enough DPS, as I will drop Fork & Added fire I'm using right now (~2K dps lvl 60 with hatres) ?

For the record, I got a 20% EK, 18% fast. proj.

I'm also lvling a Blood rage gem (20% too), is this "cocktail" gonna be good ?

-Sorry for the noobish questions, not an expert yet- :P

Hey there :) ANd np at all. I think it is definitely enough dps. EK crushes without that many DPS supports. Your base damage should be enough and when you crit it should drop most enemies. Since you are using pcoc though I think your crit should be pretty high and most enemies shouldn't take more then a few casts. :)

Cool, thanks for the reply.

And what about Blood rage ?

To be fair, if you don't take a lot of Critical Damage nodes/gear (I'm at 285%), walk around with Molten Shell and possibly 3-4 Endurance Charges, you can shoot Reflect Packs all you like without dying. Immortal Call if you're worried.

edit: nevermind i'm dumb

Yess, this would help a ton with physical reflect. Very nice. :D

Always blood rage once you get CI. Free awesome buff / 3x frenzy for cast. :)
