Cyclone or Spectral Throw.

From his initial post, cyclone is tied to cast on crit strike, and all EK are either tied to crit strike or when damage is taken. Can you actually use abilities that are tied to 'cast on crit'? I haven't actually used the gem yet.

You can cast cyclone while it's tied to cast on crit.

The way it works is that supported ATTACKS have a chance to cast supported SPELLS. So when you use ST and it crits, it has a chance to cast EK. You can change ST for Cyclone, Reave, Lightning Arrow or whatever attack you want. The spells will be uncastable.

Alright, thanks for that. I guess spectral would be safer (despite no leap slam escape), although the longer distance would mean procing too early.

could someone explain how 4L
CwDT(Lv1) - Immortal Call(Lv3) - Enduring Cry(Lv5) - Increased Duration(High Lv)

works?

im using that combo right now, but im not really sure what it does


Is it better than CWDT, Warlords Mark, Enfeeble which my friend recommends?

I think your friend should know that you can only have one curse without additional passives/uniques which don't fit this build. For this build, critical weakness is the superior curse for offense. You could certainly add that to a link if you didn't want to cast it yourself.

I actually switched to Enfeeble as my main curse instead of Critical Weakness. The offensive side of this build is so strong, when I'm in trouble I feel Enfeeble is better. Can't kill faster than very fast.

@qpoo: Are you sure your chest is 6*linked* and not just 6*socketed*?

And to the guy who said running maps with Cyclone is no problem, well, in theory it is. But for many of us, myself included, desync is just too bad. 1 sreen desync is not seldom, so I feel the risk/reward is not good enough.

Same for Dominus. When I kill him it does look like it does in Donalds first video as someone asked, except I die 50% (if not more, actually) of the time to his lighning stuff because I just can't do anything about it when desynced. Topaz flasks should help a lot though, was stupid enough to never actually try this. But will :).

Man, I wish they could fix desync... who doesn't love to whirl across 2 screens when you hold Cyclone on Piety and she teleports away? Not doing anything and taking hit after hit, ya, awesome.

I would recommend an /oos macro.

I still desync a ton, but kill fast enough it usually isn't an issue unless I'm against double reflect. It also helps to pick up the defensive nodes like Dervish and using Grace.

Enfeeble is a good option also.

Current gear

It completely wrecks face but if anyone sees any easy upgrades i would love to hear them I was thinking about getting new daggers, rings and possibly amulet but that 49% crit is insane.

may post a vid later of me playing this build if so ill post a link

Hi guys! I have good dagger for sale
