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

hey guys, is the dual dagger build also working with a 5l armor with Cyclone - CoCS - BM - Life Leech - EK ? (so 1 EK gem is missing)

or would it be better to build dagger/shield, skill EB to sustain Cyclone and use Cyclone - CoCS - Life Leech - EK - EK?


Thanks alot :)

Hi new player here, this build caught my eye.
Why are you leaving Double Strike at lvl 5? Probably a stupid question but there's a lot in this game to figure out!

Because lvl 1-5 have the same mana cost. The damage increase is not worth the mana cost increase/needing to use blood magic instead of dps.

how much DPS loss do you get by going from the 2 daggers spell+ gear, to the 2 ungil gauche block build?

like what % less damage?

The most damage intense shield on his list has up to 60?% spell damage, it is however not the highest in block nor the best for the tanky side of the build.

So you'd loose the attack speed bonus from two weapons, at least 80 % crit multiplier, crit bonus from two weapon, any other stats your dagger might've had. Whirlwind is also rendered quite ineffective as an option or as a gem switch in the shield build with the far fewer attacks and far less triggering.

Your life steal will also be reduced consequent to the loss of crit and speed.

It does indeed provide a lot of survival, as 75 % block of any damage is a pretty big deal. But in my experience I generally take very little damage and nearly none worth mentioning now that my crit is maxed out and I don't get random ''junk attacks'' anymore.

I'd say good dual dagger gear > good dagger/shield gear. Even if you were to live longer in the shield gear, by the time you enjoy not dying that one time the dual dagger build will have finished many times the content and he has place for a ton of item rarity on gear.

how about using flicker strike - multi - cocd - ek - ek - ek

?

Are those Projectile Damage perks on Ranger's tree start worth picking? Or better to skip them, put one more in Stun recovery, and save 2 perks this way?

Does this even apply to all the reflect packs? Those were listed as a problem in the original post which I imagine is less of a problem for dagger/shield.

With a proper double dagger, what should I actually be worried about in terms of getting killed outside of desync?

hi , why are you using lvl 5 st only ? and not level it. my damage is so bad because i stay at lvl 5 st. why?

Mana cost.

You don't do damage with ST. You crit with ST and proc the EKs, which do the damage.
