DonaldF's EK DANMAKU Ranger Extremely High DPS /Jan.14 little update [Videos]
Hi, i play the same build just more tanky.
I use block atm. 69% and 50% spellblock.Now this build is very strong and i dont die ... current hp is about 3,3k and ek dmg ist 1,8k.Critchance is about 51% but its enouth.I use enfeeble instead of critical weakness, its much better for bossmobs.
I am wondering how i should get vitality + grace + hatred running and still have enough mana for the curse. Maybe my math is wrong, but even with two lv20 reduced mana you need a high amount of max mana.
Grace + hatred will have 48% mana reserved without support gems (60% * 0.8) and vitality 32% (40%*0.8).
Lv20 reduced mana has a 0.71 multiplier and the values will be rounded to the upper whole number.
48%*0.71 = 34.08% => 35%
32%*0.71 = 22.72% => 23%
So even with lv20 reduced mana we will have a total of 93% of our max mana reserved.
Lv 20 Critical Weakness mana cost is (for some reason) rounded down.
70*0.71 = 49.7 => 49 mana (44 mana with q20)
So overall we would need a pool of at least 700 mana (628 mana with q20) which is far more than i currently have. Gear with +mana/+int would be mandatory.
The other option would be using a lower level curse.

I am playing this specc since a few days and I am very fond of it buuuuut I got a question since I couldnt test it myself that much.
What are the best for 4-link combos for this specc?
I am running:
1. CwDt(high lvl)-lifeleech-EK-EK
2. CwDt(low lvl)-Enduring Cry-Immortal call-Increased Duration (high lvl) and I quiet like it since it saves the day against chargers
but whats the "best" 3rd 4 link? I dont really know since everybody is using something else and if ppl want to suggest their 4-links with pros and cons I would greatly appreciate it and we would have a new drop-in post for new "this specc players" (lol)
I am greatly appreciating any input regarding my inquiry.
Thx in advance!

i have a shit ton of daggers but i dont know whats better
Please, i need some advice, currently i have capped all my resistances except fire (70 not 75)
i have 2600 hp with 1 life node left to take....
I get SMASHED by casters, specially the lighting casters on ebony barracks, like literraly, SMASHED THE HELL OUT PUM PUM PUM dead
also when i do custom maps, every now and then, casters will instantly kill me or even worse, reflect will almost instantly kill me
I am AVOIDING using cyclone most of the time, since i get killed like nothing everytime i use it. Basicly im a slow ethereal throw into crit user.
I can kill lots of stuff like nothing, but when it comes to any monster with casting skills or high hp, i am completelly and utterrly useless.
Has some one try this build into this levels? i talk to the guy itself and im getting convinced a little bit that this is extremely poor build, if i need to be lvl 80 just to start playing it actually makes no sense, also insanly gear depended.
I hope i am wrong and someone can help me :f
Also i leveled every gem needed in case i have to swtich, but i seriously doubt vitality is really needed.
Armour wise i have 7800 with grace on, and still, get INSANLY SMASHED.
I have to spam the life pots, and still, have to run away as fast as i can with whirling blades just to save my life from most high lvl maps.
Well...
You're missing another set of life nodes around Gymnastics. You're missing 34% and 20 str from your build. Most people prefer to take life nodes before they start filling in dmg ones.
Gravius is fire, so not being fire capped is going to make him more difficult.
None of your jewelry has +life on it. Along with Maligaros and your missing life nodes, that explains why you're 1-1.5k short of life compared to most others with this build. Your amulet in particular is pretty bad.
Dervish should help some with defense.
Ideally you would have went for Nightstalker first before you filled in around Spell Power and Assassination. It's not a big deal, but it would have been a net gain of dmg and crit. You certainly should have taken the life and Nightstalker nodes before you took the projectile nodes to the left of Ballistic Mastery.
You have an extra dex node above Point Blank that is wasted.
Your point in Mind Drinker is wasted and not sure why you took Primal Spirit. Those points are also wasted if you're using Blood Magic.
It's not insanely gear dependant. Much less so than other end game builds, but you still have to be smart about the gear choices you make and not make the passive tree mistakes you did. There's a ton of info in this thread. I recommend reading it.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
The thing is that, my rings have to had a lot of ressitance, and having that + life it gets really expensive.
Unless you have something i could buy :f

Add resists to your amulet and gloves. Work on getting better daggers with resits as well until you can make/afford a 6L chest.

Trying to salvage my first toon and luckily I can respec a bit to mimic this build.
I calculated it to have 68% chance to block and 180% global crit increase with both daggers. Only weakness is the base crit and low dps of the dagger. With the build and dagger should have 720% increase in crit or rounded off to 50% crit chance. I'm thinking if I get 5 power charges from the tree and bandit quest. The charges will increase to 970% increase in crit, so about 66% chance to crit from passives, charges, and the daggers alone.
With those daggers, using a block chance build, isn't the base crit not enough to sustain constant dmg? How do you guys feel about the dmg output using this block version?
