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

HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU BROKE THE GAME

(they are probably gonna make cast on crit only work with one spell)

except he's not

Hi. I'm rather new here, and as my first character, I follow your build (and i love Izayoi Sakuya LOL). I'm just wondering, how do you manage get EK so many? Are you trade or you play witch/shadow until breaking some eggs quest(as far as I know, this quest for witch/shadow can give EK)? How much is EK usually in trading?

@weiswy

you can usually pick up an EK for about 1 alc sometimes less.
If some experienced user has probably collected alot from over many characters, you may be able to buy in bulk, eg, 5 for 2 chaos or something

Hey Donald, why don't u use rustic sash, won't be the dmg bonus be better than block? Or is it just because you didn't get a good one.


Btw guys is there a way how to hide the lvlup anouncement of gem, if we keep them on low lvl..? The anouncement is rather disturbing...


ONE MORE QUESTION =)

CoDT must be one lvl higher than the gem it is supporting or can they be equal lvl and still triggers

Just I dont have good Rustic Sash.
Cloth Belt sucks. But, my one has good life and resi.

Probably I cant explain in English well...
You must adjast "Requires Level" for use CwDT.
eg. Lv1 CwDT Req Lv is 31. You can use Lv3 Immortal Call(Req Lv30). But, you cant use Lv4 Immortal Call(Req Lv33)


@rogergamer
Yes. CoCS is still OP. Probably will be nerfed.


@weiswy
Thank you :)
I'm glad you know Touhou.
As shooting said. EK is around 1alchemy. I bought them.

Is this build still viable?

should i waste my time in investing in it for first char with about 3 exalted orbs?

yes working great, i have been using spectral throw till lvl55 (Act1merciless) till i got decent gear for this build and since them i melt everything:) and btw as weapons get platinum kriss, those got highest base crit in-game so fat i know and its essential you crit:) and since you play cyclone with bloodmagic (getting at least 5L, but 6L is better is rly worth it) you have no mana problems:)


MY QUSTION

whats the reason not to lvlup the curses with codt too?

your new gem setup

3L
Reduced Mana - Vitality(Purity Ele if you need) - Crit Weakness

so u have to cast crit weakness manualy??

Hey Donald.

Thanks for updating your build, I was very worried that the new CoDT messed this build up. Still kinda does, casting the curse manually sucks. And Molten Shell.

Anyway, now we *have* to use Cyclone? I always used ST, since Cyclone is a desync monster and more often then not I find myself whirling next to mobs instead of actually hitting them. Plus we can't use Multistrike if we need BM and Life Leech, urgh.

A small story I always wanted to write: Before the patch, I levelled, checked vendors, the usual, got distracted, went back to running Piety. And only when Piety died in one hit I realized i was not in merciless but in normal difficulty. How funny is that? Normal felt the same as merciless, I had no chance to tell.
Since then I always doublecheck if I'm in the right difficulty.

Awesome build, won't give it up. CoC is the key here anyway, CoDT was just for convenience.

ST works fine for me still. Might not be as good as Cyclone, but just drop one of the EK's and use a life leech gem.

Hm, ye, I'll try this out.

Thought about ST - LMP - Life Leech - CoC - EK - EK since I should have enough mana leech from gear and passives.

You say you use ST, do you use it with LMP? I'd gladly switch it for another EK or Increased Rarity (yes, if I kill stuff it at least should drop something) because it lowers the damage of EK, and I think it doesn't matter if I throw 10 or 12 EKs. But I seem to crit way less, or hit anything at all, so I don't really know.

TL,DR: Do you use LMP with ST or not?
