Great build btw, i went up to lv 65 on HC died to a reflect physical but i mean its kinda my fault ( didnt rly notice wasnt paying attention ) so got 1 hit by my own EK cuz i rly didnt have that good of armor but owatever great guide actualy very helpfull cheers !


ty :) ya reflect mob can kill you regardless of how high your HP or Armour is if you're not paying attention. Usually I like to bait the reflect mob rare out and just kill him with bear traps. Bear traps won't reflect damage back to you.

Does the Mind Drinker Node works with EK? I'm guessing not because it's a physical attack damage node, not a physical spell or physical dmg?


Nope it won't work

I notice I lose a lot of resists... should I hold off on better gear (which is sadly all self found atm) until respecing eldrich and up to the 71 talent tree?



i believe the idea in this is that you both have better gear at that time (or you must get) AND you get more life nodes than before (So EHP will be around the same)..i think


spot on billy

just wondering im lvl 54 right know having a little suviablity issue more or likly my armor and also culling strike is that the gems your using in this build cause im using power siphon and it goes really good with bear trap adds more damage and culling strike as well.


Just do whatever you feel suits you best :)
´

Yeah, I just started using power siphon after switching for dualwielding to a wand because the bear traps have a cooldown and running around doing nothing while fighting a boss is not really that fun. I guess I could just get more bear trap gems?
I heard Etheral Knives is going to get nerfed? I'm thinkin about starting this build but I don't want it nerfed.
A few questions:

1. Should i go for Armor / ES or Evasion / ES while levelling ?

2. Should i grab a Wand with Phys Dmg or any kind of weapon for levelling ?

3. Early levels it's ok for me to use only Freezing Pulse, right ? Because EK dmg is really low on Act 1 normal.

Thanks a lot!

I'm thinking of doing a similar build to this, except with CI instead of Eldritch Battery, and dipping more into the ranger tree. I was wondering if Point Blank works with Ethereal Knives?

EK is not exactly that powerfull...they might nerf the fork cause the extra projectile get a new timer (like a new projectile)...this wont' be a big hit tho...
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself
what do you think of my variation?

EHC: Wyvernborn
Is there any particular reason he picked Added fire over lightning/cold dmg on gem supports?
I'm having a really hard time getting this build off the ground as my first character. I'm floundering pretty hard in Act 3 normal. EK is only doing like 85DPS (I have Fork and Faster Projectiles). I had beat Oversoul but it took me like 15 mins by running in with Dual Strike, hitting 3-4 times then running away. I have Clarity and Vitality but I have mana problems and can only cast EK 3-4 times before having to flask. Is this normal? What should I be looking for in weapons to level up? What about armor? I've been picking up pure armor stuff with +Life when I can find it, but some of the pieces I've been using for like 20+ levels.

Can someone provide some insight as to how to get this build to work while leveling (90% of the time solo) for someone who has no backlog of currency/wealth and no high level friends to help out. I like the idea of this character but it just seems really clunky.

Use Mana leech, should probably drop clarity.

If I do this then I'd have to drop either Fork or Fast Projectiles from EK. I don't have any 4-link items and it took me a while to find a 3-link to use what I have now. If I get Mana Leech then which should I drop? Also, how much does mana leech usually go for?
