[1.2] Rathik's EK build +40k DPS/52.3%Crit/+375% Multiplier. Anti-Reflect. "The Immortal Shuriken"

Cast when damage taken nerfs.

What nerfs??? :D

At level 17 the gem will trigger on 2520 damage taken on the first monster that you will hit and will make you immune from 2-6 depending on how many endurance charges and the quality of immortal call.

Explanation on the first monster.

Ek fires 10 projectiles.
Lets assume that each projectile reflects 1000 damage back to you and you have 4000 life.
You attack 10 monsters with reflect physical and you hit them all.
You will take 10000 damage, you die.

With level 17 CWDT + IM + ED + ID combo the gem will trigger on the third monster, you will take 3000 damage and 6~ seconds of physical immunity. You live, life leech will heal you.

So basically you should level your CWDT gem according to your life.
A level 11 enduring cry, which requires character level 49, should give 3 endurance charges when 3 monsters are around (according to the wiki information).
So in theory you can stop leveling your CWDT gem at level 10.

Bring on the reflect maps.

Again, what nerfs.

The only real nerf to me is that now I have to go out and buy/beg/borrow/steal new lower level high quality skill gems, or all the damned Scours to fix my current gems... and the bank is nearly dry. LOL!

One question, I will also look elsewhere, are Support gems included under the CwDT level limits, or just active Skills?

The gem description seems pretty general to me and from what i tested so far it seems to be including all gems.

Just level your CWDT gem dude. No need to buy new ones.

What truly have me worried is that immortal call is activating before the enduring cry...

First of all thanks for all your guides, I've been following the summoner and leveling ones and they are awesome!!

My question is this: If you theoretically had perfect top-end gear, which one would clear end-maps faster, a powersiphon wander or EK build??

Regards

I wanted to ask this.

Will your gem build like in the guide still work.

I dont know how much level i should lvled my CWDT gem. Cuz my HP is not like yours . I have shitty gear also. No money !!!

Will do. Having to manually activate works, but is a pain for these older reflexes.
The Garden is "interesting" without auto-proccing defenses. :)

One issue, I am only L53 with ~1400 HP. If I level the gems to match my current skill gems, well, the CwDT will basically become Cast on Death. 1350 Damage to activate, giving only a ~50 HP margin.
edit: (actual HP 1387, a 37 HP margin)

My hp pool is about 3700, now maxing all cwdt gems without delvling any linked gems. Kamikadze mode on))
Now farming 67-68 maps without any cwdt triigers procks (cause linked gems are 18 lvl), dying sometimes only on hard mobs packs.

Immortal call is activating before enduring cry?! Fuck I gotta test.

Mapping 70+ with my 83. 4450 hp pool capped resists. I'll see how the immortal call is working after I level my CoDT. Should I just max my cast when damage taken gems?
