im on my way to twin terror to increase my crit

- should i get more life nodes or just focus on crit until i got them all?

@donaldF for the Super Tanky Shield with Decent DPS version, i think lmp on your tabula rasa setting is almost useless. it just increase area covered by each of your EK proc by a little 20% and adds a very bad 0.7 multiplier to ALL your dmg.
area of 3 Ek procs is already very large, just use an added fire dmg support instead, it works with phys dmg from ek.
culling strike can be also good with quality if you miss some attack speed for your main attack and if party need a cull/mf support.

LMP also multiply the number of proc than can happen.
meaning you loose 30%of final damage on EK, but you can proc it trice as much (so in the end, you double the damage {70% * 3 = 210%}). can't really say it's a DPS loss, at least against mobs.

for bosses though, you'll want to change it for something else (probably another EK, or faster attack, since the socket will be green if you're not using tabula rasa).


edit : had to rewrite the second half of my post, seems the forum doesnt like things being put between "[" and "]".

Both wrong

maybe you want to elaborate on that blackreap.

Atm I am using Ice spear instead of EK.
And it works great combined with ST + LMP + COCS.

It some kind of "safe" mode.
The casting distance of the Ice spear is greater then that of the EK.
It freezes enemies and does decent amount of damage.

When leveling and want to go into this build and when you reach around 25/30% crit chance I recommend it.

(Carefull of desync though)

-----------
On the tanky build

LMP + ST = hitting more enemies = increasing the chance to crit = Increased Damage.

-----------
@Ravers

I would go for the life nodes near mind drinker
And then continue down the twin terror and maby pick up pressure points.
And then go into the physique line

I currently have a helmet with: CWDT - Increased Duration - Enduring Cry - Immortal Call

The Immortal Call should blow up the end charges, but I never see the charges up. Do they immediately blow up because CWDT activates them simultaniously?

Second question, can I level all support gems in the CWDT combinations to max level? Like Increased area of effect on CWDT + Critical Weakness?

Yes the charges immediately blow up and no you have to keep any cashable spells under the cwdt gem, read it.

Actually yes, you can level any SUPPORT gem linked in a cwdt combo.

look at that for example

Cashable = Castable I think he got it dude

Any idea what the latest change to Cast on Critical Strike gem will have on this build?
There is a 10ms cooldown on it now, but they boosted the base proc rate. Will this prevent both EK from casting at the same time?

Well after doing a lunaris run, the 10ms nerf did alot more damage than i thought. took roughly 3x the time to kill piety, kill speed on groups headed to peity also noticeably slower.
GG GGG thanks for waiting till i find a build i love, spend well over half my net worth on currency orbs on then nerf it.
