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

So, I've been playing this for awhile. EDIT: (Before the 1.0.5 patch)
So far it's been the most fun build I've played thus far. Though I can't transition right to Cyclone just yet. I'm still leveling/fixing some gear an items before I can jump right into cyclone.

Right now using Blood magic to keep me from blowing all my mana. I will move to mana at some point once I feel I can drop the blood magic gem use that flask, or use the flask I've rolled for my self.


Gear thus far~

Chest an Flask I will be using.

Passive tree as of right now.

Edit: This is my highest character so far(Got about like 4-5 40's 2 50's), so gear's been mostly self found, or traded for with little currency I've made.

Hey guys, I think this passive makes alot more sense, how do you guys feel about it?

Have you tried the build yet? Honestly it doesn't really make sense to me. Going all the way up to templar, just for a few more life nodes and 'amplify'. You miss quite a few crit nodes/doomcast/influence. It just seems a bit wasted to me.

I also currently run without Blood Magic and tested some flasks. That flask though didn't work so well. Most of the time you will be using your flask after killing a pack or close to killing a pack. The seconds that you dont use mana kinda go to waste. It also recovers to slowly for me. I went back to using a mana flask with charges on crit, works a lot better. But I want to switch to Blood Magic as soon as I craft my chest armor for it, because IMO I've wasted a lot of points on mana regen nodes that I could use on crit and life nodes instead.

I tried the non blood magic, with a flask i got on crit refills, It was working quite nice until I ran out of mobs to crit (Still abit low on the crit end until I pick some more nodes. I think I'm at 55%) I guess I'll toss the flask then for the build. I'll keep it though was from a friend so I won't be selling it by any means. I really do like the VP / Blood magic. I haven't had much problems, aside from party play when the mobs die an I can't leech an we move onto another pack an I have like 50% hp it's abit risky to move in on to the room. I'll be grabbing alot more crit nodes, aswell as maybe drop afew points at the poison dagger route I had taken to pick some more crit nodes. Yeah mana regen nodes are abit of a trade off for crit / hp. I did see this tree though somewhere here which interested me.

I'm still not sure 100% which route is best but I'm sure ill be trying alot of different things to get my playstyle down.

What is the big advantage of using Vaal Pact with Blood Magic?

I'm currently using 2 HP pots, dont think I can get rid of those.
Does the instant leech make up for this and the life regen?

SO! im thinking of going for vaal pact so i could do reflect maps.. what do you guys thinks :)?


Wanna start this build on my witch!

So, can any veteran player following this Danmaku build tell me whether two EKs or 1EK with Added Fire Damage does more DPS?

I think you can't use dual EK anymore ;)

For Vaal Pact you need VERY high armour and overcapped resis and high CC so, that you defenitly do enough dmg to leech
