I Cast Magic Missile! - Cantrip's Guide to Ethereal Knives

Leveled, updated gear, can do any map now, except Piety and such. How the hell are you supposed to tank her without Spell Block?!

I really need a well rolled Rapth. Globe + Tempest Shield + LL for that nonsense. That's the plan for later, anyway ;)

some more updates up.

What is your damage mate?

About 6500 Solo, about 7500 Party (Haste). Gems aren't 20/20, Wand could use an upgrade. It'll get much higher.

Lightning Thorns is funny :)

It's one of the things that can't kill EK since it casts relatively slowly, but just wiped the rest of my party in under a second.

This is what I will be using:

EK Arc Totem

Will be using Spell Totem + Arc + Elemental Proliferation + Faster Casting to apply shock charges and -50% fire / -50% cold for my EK :)

What to do vs Reflect? Granite flask or alt f4?

Interesting idea with the totem ,lemme know how it works. As for Reflect? What Reflect? I don't take damage from it at all with armor and Arctic Armor on.

Problem is that im running around with this:

78% block chance ( The Anvil, using Cybil's paw right now )
21k Evasion
0 Armor

Tempest Shield + Elemental Proliferation + Reduced Mana Costs ( in weapon )
Grace + Hatred + Reduced Mana Costs ( in shield )

Also for curses i'm using vulnerability on blue groups to stun the shit out of them and temporal chains / enfeeble on rares

I just cant seem to run Arctic Armor with hatred and grace...

Here is my 100 point build:

Scion


Also on the totem:
I use it on packs of blue and yellow enemies and bosses to apply shock charges and -50% resists. My Tempest shield serves for the same purpose ( btw tempest shield hurts some enemies really bad lol like those supression guys :D )

It has 3x 50% chance to shock on hit ( 20% arc ofcourse ) and spreads it around. If I shock the white mobs around a rare mob then it gets shocked for max duration as long as its near the corpse.

Elemenetal equilibrium has no downside as i oneshot packs of normal monsters so the +25% resists don't do shit.

Maybe this would be better:

Scion

PS: love the numbers on your lightning coil :D

Yeah, I was gonna reroll, but I found it too funny to change :)

You really, really need Armor and/or Arctic Armor to run EK. Either one might be enough, but you need at least one of those. Evasion should work rather well, actually, but Reflect will certainly be more of an issue.

I'd run Tempest on Life, and use the mana for Arctic Armor and Clarity, if you're going that way. Or Clarity on Life, depending on you. In any case, get more Life, lose Flask Life...

Problem is that it will soak up like 60% of my health with blood magic gem on it lol so no thanks :D

need to find a way to reserve 145% mana and ~200 mana and still have like 50 left...

31% Reduced from passives
25% From Reduced Mana Cost

and i'm guessing it would work like this: 145% * 0.75 * 0.69 instead of 145% * 0.44
