you lose the global crit from another dagger (say 80) and the dual wielding crit nodes (lower right of the tree) which give you 125. That's a whopping 205% less crit chance. You can expect your char screen cyclone crit chance to go down by roughly 20%. You also lose the 10% multiplicative attack speed bonus that comes with dual wielding. Lastly, if you are not using rathpith's globe you will also lose the spell dmg you could've had from a dagger (say 50), which is quite significant because this build doesnt have a lot of damage modifiers (a bit of projectile, spell and plain physical and thats it).

Personally, i just use ungil's gauche + stone of lazhwar when i feel a need a bit more tankage. I do that for 76+ maps only, and i very rarely die while doing those. I feel a shield would be overkill. IMO ungil's is the best compromise, because when you think about it 20% block almost makes it a shield, but without losing most of the aforementioned dual wielding goodies. The skill stree also has that very cost efficient 10% block node which is right in your path, unlike the shield block nodes which you have to stretch for.

IMO there's only two reasons you should use a shield:

1. You hate reflect/thorns but hate vaal pact, in which case you get a rathpith's globe + stone of lazhwar for massive spell block = anti reflect (rathpith also has spell dmg which is very nice). I think this arctic armour stuff is a terrible idea since phys reflect is easier to deal with than ele reflect, especially with the new patch which made us use some kind of ele dmg instead of a 2nd/3rd EK. Also, what about the non hatred ele auras that some players provide in groups?

2. You absolutely want to do all the bosses in the game, and since the tougher ones are all hard hitting spell casters you again want rathpith's globe + stone of lazhwar for the big spell block (and spell dmg). I'm talking about residence dominus, crematorium, shrine piety, etc. here. Personally i chose skipping them and retaining a much higher DPS for everything else...

I FUCKING DID IT!!! YESSSSSS! NO MROE NIGHTMARES I CAN SLEEP AGAIN :D

4K~ CHROMES FFS!

WOOHOOO

BYE TABULA <3333

i use a lvl 1 Q AA only for ground ice. this is the same thing as a lvl 11 temporal chains. free curse....
since u use cyclone mostly u are right at the mobs feet. this is probly one of the most underutilized defensive capabilities a cyclone toon can use!!

it has no hp check it chills everything in ur path. ^^

Sir, you are so wrong, i've been into cocs since the very start spend tons of exalts into it and tried every possible setup, I'm sure of what i'm doing :)




And dafuk, flameblast or stormcall XD? You are trolling or wut?

And anyway, can't you just say hey cool im happy for you or someting?

Damn nice... gz on that 3R3G I'm so jealous now.

I transitionned to 1h + shield yesterday... it feels weird I still don't know if i revert back or not. Attack speed especially is much lower :s




Btw i just yolo-exalted the gloves and got the hybrid armor% roll, not too bad i guess

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?

added fire. faster attacks adds roughly as much dmg as added fire (good vs ele reflect).

best dps though is another spell: fireball. Ice nova doesnt do as much but the DPS is pretty solid (huge AOE) and it freezes the crap out of everything (better than freezing pulse imo). Arc is pretty good vs bosses in groups (shock stacks). You can always use item rarity for the easier stuff as well. Notice these are all blue gems so you can switch around even if you have some 6L non tabula armor.

But wouldn't FA be best if you run hatred? Since it is the only gem among the 3 (FA vs AF vs FB) that scales with the aforementioned aura.
