Not as much as you already have

theamazingjojo you suck at trolling. *yawn*

Hey, great post, but quick question.. i'm at level 61 and i'm doing 1.3k dps buffed, I am really unsure on what stats I really need to boost the EK damages? I currently have a 5l 6s armor, I just dont have the Added fire damage gems linked, but its just +300 dps added, soo thats not the problem, any idea?

here is my gear

Try switch out your wand for one with very similar stats, but with some Cast Speed %. Shouldn't be too expensive in Domination (Not sure how things cost over there) and try get your hands on a Saffell's. Saffell's boosted my dps quite a bit, and the +Max% for Resists is priceless.

Try and get a nice cast spd+ spell dmg necklace if you can.
Don't sacrifice res though.

Also! When your EK level's up, you'll notice a big difference. Each time my EK ding's, I'm blown away by the extra DPS that comes from a single level.

It also looks like you're not running Hatred. Jump on that asap, it adds a nice boost of dps for you, and since you/we are Blood Magic, we don't need the mana.

Take all that with a grain of salt, I'm not Realyyn :P But I'd like to think what I've said is solid info

Don't worry, you are spot on. ;)

@Ghost, you are asking why your damage is low, but at the same time you are saying that added fire "only" adds 300 dps to your 1300. That would be 25% of your damage output!

If you can't find any better gear you could spec into the crit nodes or run Hatred with Haste.

Dont know if its has been said but using Cast when stunned + Immortal Call + Molten Shell + Increased Duration makes you more tanky :) . Found it my self and i'm pretty proud about it i play for only 2 weeks and my last character was unwering stance so never thought about this combo .

This build has a lot of HP nodes (6k+ easily) and high defense (armor + grace aura). You rarely get stunned and that gem don't work against spells. I don't think cast when stunned will be better.

Hey realyn, what flasks do you use?

How many seething/bubbling or any sanctified?

Also, I can't seem to find any granite flasks, but I have jade. Will they be ok to use or are they really sub-par?

And what are map mods to stay away from?

I find temp chains hard because of the cast speed reduction. I also find 50% regen kinda hard when I get down to just a rare or just the boss because I don't leech back enough and I dare not try no regen.

But what did you find easy/best for the quantity and what did you find not worth at all and to stay away from?

Like if I roll a map, what are easy mods with high quantity to hope for and ones that are ok and ones that you should never leave on a map?

And when to chisel/alch? only 70+?

I am beginning to move up the map ladder (all solo, like you I think?), right now on 68 maps and this would really help me out :)
