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

I was using Vaal Pact already, and I still will. I'm just unsure as to whether or not I even need to use life flasks. The 60% reduced leech is a lot, but we can still leech A LOT of lp so not sure if it's necesarry.

Btw, did anyone else get a boost in health pool from the new patch? Went from 4,3k to 4,8k getting the same stuff in tree as before.

so u should just use 1 EK with CoC cuz all other wont work anyways after the change?
or did i missunderstand this

and is someone using a version of this build atm at invasion league? if yes could u maybe link me your passives and gear? ty

Yes, just one EK now. Extra ones will be almost entirely lost, you`re better off with other spells.

I'd like to see someone's passives on this new tree too.

Has anyone tried incorporating Acrobatics? Would like to know if Acrobatics (30% from Hyrri's Ire) + Evasion + Dual wield block (31%) - Armor (50%) would improve survivability.

but you will lose armor and phys reflect will hurt much more

To spec into Acrobatics, we would have to remove Iron Reflexes allowing us to use evasion. The current spec only allows us to Block reflect damage. Means we can Evade/Dodge/Block reflect damage. Theoretically, we will have more time to recover health from life leech.

I think we can't block/dodge/evade ek reflect dmg. It's spell. We can spell block ek dmg though. Too many gear and points must be sacrificed to do so. Phase acrobatics can be useful too, but it only gives 30% dodge. Any regular guy using danmaku build will have like 60% phys dmg reduction most of the time just spamming granites, a much better mitigation. The difference is the dmg reflection. If you can manage to not one shot yourself, then it's worth trying dodge. I can't manage this, sometimes reflected ek leaves me with 10% hp.

did it got updated?

Reflect has proven to be a problem after the Vaal Pact nerf. Life flasks are close to useless, and even if I take out Fireball and Hatred and use only EK, for some reason I'm still not leeching very efficiently. Not sure why.

I'm leeching enough with ek+fireball but now i'm dying to lightning thorns. don't know how to fix it
