DonaldF's EK DANMAKU Ranger Extremely High DPS /Jan.14 little update [Videos]

Is Bino's Kitchen Knife good for this build?

i thought about Bino's kitchen knife too, but :
- the regeneration effect is directly based on the poison effect from adder's touch. atm that's the only thing that works i'm aware of.
- adder's touch notable passive requires to spend at least 7 more passive points.
- the poison effect is directly based on your dagger crit damage (it's 10% of it to be precise), and we don't take any passive to increase that.

which means -> our dagger crit damage is low -> the poison is low -> the regeneration from Bino's is low.
and for that, you drop a dagger with spell damage and possible resistance/mana regen.

i don't think it's worth it.

How do you cancel outta cyclone?
Following piety across the room (when you are in lock on mode) is annoying.

I don't believe you can cancel out of cyclone. As others have stated have you tried not having cyclone on either mouse buttons? Also don't target her. Put your cursor a litle past her to avoid locking on. This is the root of most cyclone desync issues... Your client is locked onto a target and the server doesn't agree with the location of the target your locked onto. So basically you end up hitting nothing, not leeching life or mama, and probably dying.

Also was curious if anyone has taken this build as far as 75+maps yet. Mine is not my main toon in domination so I stopped at 65 for the challenge. But am picking it back up again as luck has been on my side: = its still a work in progress and have it eternaled before the dex and regen rolls.

Edit: yup still a work in progress. Still eternaled again, rolled regen again :-(

Wanted to get info about 75maps too :)

And FredroA, I just switched from ST spec to DANMAKU, I got 75% crit and I feel the same
Maybe if was a bad choice, but I linked CCWDT/PCoC with ice-spear and I cant stack more than 1PC...
and 80% of the time, I have none :|


Considering that, to me, there are no other efficient way to stack PC, i'll give up on it
Meph talked about a 2nd Cyclone with PCoC but well, starting with 2/3 cyclones just to stack PCs is a huge waste of time for 98% ofthe situations cause PCs will fade between packs most of the time :(

Don't focus on power charges. It's only a nice addition to have and for starting with the build.
Later it just doesn't matter anymore when you sit on 85%+ basecrit, as I do.

I'm lvl 84 now and I clear lvl 75+ maps in minutes with this build

Here's a short video of me doing a Dominus run.

Please notice that unlike OP's footage, I'm running with only 2 EK gems instead of OP's 3 EK's, because I think it's more comfortable to play (Mana pot spamming).

Passives

Is it normal not to take any damage at all whatsoever from a physical reflect pack? I know I used to, now I can't figure out what's saving my ass. Perhaps my leech and regen are high enough? (Not using VP)

thx for sharing this quinor

but don't you have any problem in any map ?
Piety in Temple-map isnt a problem for example ?

for tricky Bosses I either replace one EK for blind, or switch my daggers with these

+ the 50% spellblock unique amu

Results in 70% block and around 30% spellblock.


Another option is since I'm using only 2 auras of 3: to add lightning resist aura.

Temple boss in particular can be tricky.

Looks like you beat me to it. But still piety ain't got shit on shock and horror. Then again I've had only tried that one with dual bosses. Was enough for me to choose avoiding that map.
