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

" shooting wrote: @Dharmatrooper others have seemed to pull it off, as shown in the videos on first post by the creator himself. Im only level 61 and my damage output is insane, but yes I am very glassy. in regards to the multistrike, you're right and wrong. multistrike for me is bad because of only one thing... the desync. the desync is managable if you dont spam your attack key... unfortunately feels to unco for me. a nice way to use multistrike is to use mouse1 to move and mouse2 to cyclone you can hold mouse1 and then ontop of, use mouse2 to attack only holding or clicking once that will help with MS desync. if you use cyclone with MS on mouse1 you're asking for trouble. losing your multistrike isnt a problem for crits near lv65+ because you should be over 75% crit chance... or nicely at end game ...95% crit chance + 95% chance to hit - without multistrike other options are.... Cyclone - CoC - EK - EK - EK - Mana Leech - Increased Crit Strike Chance Cyclone - CoC - EK - EK - EK - Mana Leech - Cast on Melee Cyclone - CoC - EK - EK - EK - Mana Leech - Faster Attacks (havn't tested) the first two will save you MASSIVE amount of mana. as for physical reflect... yep as mentioned.. it is the downside to this build not sure anyway around it apart from checking enemy magic before you yolo Yeah, you right bro. Yesturday I've managed my gear a little and get 79% critchance. Of course i have cyclin on right button, left is only for walking in all my chars. And i think i understood why cyclone crit not so often. Its..tadaa.. fckin desync. When servers not so busy and latency not much than 100ms then i crit very often. But the problem is when you crit with cyclone your EK absolutely untargeted and hit mob you cycling one of three times maybe. And yes, i have Cyclone - coc - ek - ek - mana leech - inc crit chance. Its best way to balance mana issue and crit chances. And today i remembered about EMPOWER gem... Will try it instead mana lech and see what happens. ʕ•̫͡•ʕ̫͡ʕ•͓͡•ʔ-̫͡-ʕ•̫͡•ʔ̫͡*ʔ	Posted by Dharmatrooper on Nov 11, 2013, 4:28:26 AM Quote this Post
@soulpoetry I believe the CD is per CoDT, not global or they do not stack. plus 250ms is very minimal and I dont think is much of a concern anyway. we will find out on the next update how they nerf this even more @hyper_cd Im not even at act3 merciless yet and im having some problems with elemental enemies I dont know how you can have such low res and survive that well. I use hatred on non ele maps and grace on all other maps. @Dharmatrooper the best way to fix your mana issue is to have your cyclone deal enough dps to leech enough back, id suggest if you are sitting below 300dps on cyclone, you may want to look at this other method. put mana leech on your CoDT's and remove mana leech from CoC setup and put life on hit.. I havnt tested it, but in theory it should work - providing you had taking attack speed multipliers I have 550dps on cyclone and have no mana problem at all. I've replaced Tabula rasa with a spare GGGGG 5L evasion chest, so I'm running without inc crit chance gem. But I have most/all the crit nodes on the passive tree that I want. Now I just need to do some life nodes to bulk up abit atm 4.8k armour, 1.4k hp (lol), res = 43fire, -31cold , 36lightning, -60chaos with no auras	Posted by shooting on Nov 11, 2013, 4:58:23 AM Quote this Post

And of course ive tried to put life leech to main attack and mana leech to cwdt but it wont helped at all mainly because of fkin cooldowns. Also i have descent 5L 1700+ eva chest dualres+life waiting for my 68 level. Cant wait to try it! :) ʕ•̫͡•ʕ̫͡ʕ•͓͡•ʔ-̫͡-ʕ•̫͡•ʔ̫͡ʔ Last edited by Dharmatrooper on Nov 11, 2013, 6:19:53 AM	Posted by Dharmatrooper on Nov 11, 2013, 6:19:06 AM Quote this Post

Of course I die... but it's not that bad... e.g. chamber of sins I died 3-4 times in total.. with all ele damage down there it's not bad... not playing hardcore though :) Right now I use one Mightflay and one Ungil's Gauche, Tabula Rasa, Worm's Molt and some amulet with Mana Leech	Posted by hyper_ch on Nov 11, 2013, 8:06:29 AM Banned Quote this Post

I prefer IMO multistrike + EK + EK + EK + Cyclone + CoC, 2 kris golds with spell combo dmg and dual wielding ndoes + dagger nodes of shadow / ranger area + hp, shoul work it. But not on ele ref.... i guess. IGNs: eternal_nina, eternal_madira, eternal_reaper, getmyshadow, eternal_ihgheart, eternal_darkess.	Posted by Dhoros on Nov 11, 2013, 9:02:47 AM Banned Quote this Post
Im taking my bad words back partly. After wearing good chest my survability jumped over the skies. But reflects still very big problem for this build :( ʕ•̫͡•ʕ̫͡ʕ•͓͡•ʔ-̫͡-ʕ•̫͡•ʔ̫͡ʔ	Posted by Dharmatrooper on Nov 11, 2013, 10:49:40 AM Quote this Post
Sorry if I missed the comment but when do you switch to this out of ST and double Strike? I am lvl 47 currently but i just started :(	Posted by viper9494 on Nov 11, 2013, 6:39:21 PM Quote this Post
@Dharmatrooper sorry, yes.. mana leech does work on the CoC-EK-EK, but it was to mention if your crits are low, you wont be leeching alot. providing your EK knives are ~lv12+ more than 500 cyclone dps, low crits = enough mana less than 400 cyclone dps, high crits = enough mana less than 400 cyclone dps, low crits = not enough mana more than 500 cyclone dps, high crits = alot of mana in regards to your "5L 1700+ eva chest dualres+life" that will help you alot.. and by that time you should have 55+ crit chance per dagger so you can remove ICC gem and use your 5L, should be good. I have a 5L eva chest with dual res+life but mine is only 600eva This is my current gear now Spoiler I avoid all reflect mobs :( @viper9494 some people use ST right through to end game with this build, some use cyclone from as early as level 45. I guess its really dependent on your crit chance and ethereal knives gem levels	Posted by shooting on Nov 11, 2013, 7:42:11 PM Quote this Post
I dont have any of the on hit or on crit gems so i guess i should get those first before anything else can be done correct?	Posted by viper9494 on Nov 11, 2013, 8:13:04 PM Quote this Post
