DonaldF's EK DANMAKU Ranger Extremely High DPS /Jan.14 little update [Videos]
" Crit chance > Spell Damage > Attack speed > Crit chance for spells > Global crit multiplier You need at least a 8.5 crit dagger, it's way more important than spell damage. A 9.2 is ideal, more is just wasted due to the 95% cap. TheBigNasty is right, you need (at least) to change your 2nd dagger, and a 2nd EK on your armor. And you're probably too low level for Dominus right now, but don't worry you'll get there ! (Lvl 82, at this point it's just ridiculous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBgKG4NeJsU, sorry for just uploading the P4, it would take about 2 hours to upload the entire run, so maybe later !) Imo: You could go Tabula, not worth that much and Belly is pretty meh ; Artic Armour lvl 1 is useless ; I would definitely run Hatred over Determination ; EK lvl 8 on CwDT lvl 1 is useless. |

" You don't get 4 EK's "all the time", your damage already got high and low spikes, you forgot to include in your calculation the square of your chance to hit (once to see if you hit, and a 2nd time to see if you crit or if you just get a normal hit), and the Cast on Crit chance. So with a standard 90% chance to hit and a level 20 CoC gem, you have .95 * .90² * .68 = 52.3% chance to cast both EK. That's not "all the time", you're getting spikes already. Just one more thing: You wont get 4 EK in the same time than you will get 4.5 EK with Soul Taker. ST have more than 1.8 attack speed (while a Platinum Kris got 1.5~ max), you'll actually be casting more than 4.5 EK in the same time. This is only due to the fact that the cyclone is running at your weapons average speed, not at the lowest one (which would be more logical imo). |

Would 2x CoCs + 1x EK provide more CONSISTENT damage/EK procs than 1x CoCs + 2x EK?

" I'm not sure how CoC gems work, I don't know if the proc is calculated once per EK or once for both EK. I'm also pretty sure 2xCoC doesn't work, as 2xCwDT would be too powerfull. Assuming 2xCoC would work, and CoC procs were calculated once for both EK (if linked to 2), it would just be 68% chance to cast 2 EK vs 46.2% to cast 2 | 43.5% to cast one. I guess 2 CoC would be more consistent, as you get 90% chance to cast at least 1 EK. |

" It's not very good, and I'm trying some new stuff atm, but I think I'm gonna run those until I manage to 6L my chest (I just need to find a 70+HP/23 FRes/17LRes/200+ acurracy ring:

Need some better daggers too. And as you can see, I linked Critical Weakness to Blood Magic as I can't cast it with my ~40 mana lol. Last edited by NotToBragButImHungry#5870 on Dec 10, 2013, 1:07:27 PM

" it's true, I didn't take those into account because accuracy and CoC chance are the same for both setups. I was thinking of it as "4 chances to cast EK". The main point was that with a low crit chance offhand 50% of the time you'll be casting less EK's than before, and 50% of the time you'll be casting more EK's than before. On average you'll come out ahead with ST, but if you consider that most of the damage spikes are overkill you won't notice them, you'll only notice the periods when your offhand is not critting and you'll have more "bad streaks" consistant crits = consistant leeching/killing = better survivability and clear speed in my experience if you use a different support gem instead of a 3rd EK then it might have other advantages that would make it better depending on the situation IGN: OldManBalls (Warbands) Last edited by demivion#2965 on Dec 10, 2013, 1:19:58 PM

i think the most important things to consider are base aps on the weapon. crit chance of ur weapon being minimum 8.5 crit. if u are running low aps u are loosing x EK's that could be cast because of the loss of a chance to crit per cyclone.
i wouldnt run anything lower than 1.4 aps crit weapon. period btw i came to a revelation last night...Berek's Grip Two-Stone Ring frees up ur life leech gem ^^ [quote="Mark_GGG"]damage modifiers don't can currently can't apply to degen.[/quote] "Getting all life nods on passive tree should give additional survival, not the mandatory basic survival." .\1.2/ ..\3/ [img]http://ertaislament.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/pentavus.jpg[/img] Last edited by leighferon#0786 on Dec 10, 2013, 5:00:48 PM

" Someone brought up berek's maybe about 10 pages ago but I'm not sure how it works out in the end especially because the leech is way lower than a LL gem. experiment and let us know. |
