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

Im in 61 with this build (ST version) and its incredible, i thought about charges too but i thought about power or frenzy. My question is, how works discharge without spell damage? we can use charges and discharge in a cwdt slot with life leech and maybe is better than cwdt+EK, i want to try it but i need some things before.
I'm a newbie and I got some question about using ST.

Do I need to use different(better) passive skill tree for ST or the same as Cyclone one?

Thanks!
You use the same skilltree of course zipperzzzzzz.
Both ST as well as Desync (Cyclone, if you haven't read the whole thread) will do little to no damage and are only used to crit thus triggering the EKs linked to the CoC ... linked to ST or Desync.

Desync is just so much better damage wise because it hits more often. So it has a higher chance to crit resulting in an incredible dps. From the EKs, not from Desync itself.

And ByR. Well, there are many possibilities to use CwDT. As mentioned earlier I'm trying to figure something good out, gonna test on now. Let's see and discuss. I really hope we all can figure the best solution for the remaining gem slots out.

Edit: Typo, probably not the only one, but this one was too obvious.

Thanks! Now I got it, It's the EK, that is a primary dmg dealing source. :)
ill ask again...
What about Nemesis? Does someone try it there?
I havent't tried it in Nemesis so I can't tell. What I do can tell you is that I have died 12 times. I wish I could say all deaths were because of desync, but that would be a lie.

And yw zipperzZz.

Additional stuff some of us found out the expensive way: Mana or Life Leech from gear does not effect EK so it's useless, Minddrinker too. Local +phys damage (on weapons), added elemental damage, +%ele dam and so on; all useless. I'll repeat myself: Spelldamage, Spellcrit, Spellcrit Multi, Crit, Global Crit Multi - that's the important stuff.
Good for bossruns, but kinda a pain in the ass, is to fight to the boss with ST and switch to Desync to kill it. You will want to carry your Desync gems in your x-hand.

Best of luck if you try this build out, it's pretty cool.
What about Point blank with this build? You go pretty close to it in the tree and its only a 2 point investment for 50% increased dmg?

I don't think Point Blank will benefit EK, because EK is projectile spell, not projectile attack.
So... Is this build dead? Or is it still viable?..

im lvl 70 and im still using the EK variation of this build. It is definitely still viable. the only reason why i dont play it as often atm is because if i crit into a pack of mobs i disconnect from the massive amount of EK on the screen.
