The gameplay videos discredited you severely in my eyes.

What are you on about?

I don't know about discrediting him however I cant really see myself playing this build based on those videos since they are from an older patch and most of the information is based on having Phasewalk which is no longer in the game.

you mean Phase Run? I haven't even watched the gameplay videos but the guide itself has absolutely nothing to do with that skill. This is a solid build (especially with strong gear of course)

Actually I think the strong part about it is, that you don't need the gear.

I just happen to play another EK char (not this approach but similar) and a LA spammer (which is considered op) simultaneously. And I really got to say, EK shines when having low gear. Basically most important is handling your defense, EK alone scales incredibly well in terms of damage. As a LA spammer you'll have to gather way better stuff to come even close to the output (while still keeping your survivability).

EK is really awesome and very much beginners-friendly.

The downside is that you won't feel as happy while equipping. There's nothing like finding a new sick piece of gear or even a weapon and doubling your char's power. That's not so much happening with a build like this (imo). But I prefer gear-independency, since I love playing various characters and therefore don't want to heavily invest into some specific items.

To cut all the crap:

EK yay!

^^

What skills did you use while leveling? I'm using fire trap x2 and poison arrow until my mana can sustain it.

so which is better now
chain or fork?
and why?

I too am having a hard time distinguising

I just got the quillrain/heavy quiver combo - (5L on quill ilvl67) but im having a hard time determining which is better chain or fork...chain takes too much mana imho

Would this be a good EK dagger?



I'm thinking about creating an EK shadow...but if not I might sell it, not sure yet.

you need a kris, they have 80% crit chance, along with spell dmg, knives and daggers only have 40%, and wands dont some fixed with crit chance unless rolled with it but wont be 80% unless its $$$ with high spell dmg

also, how does this guy manage to get 130 hp per second and 64 mana per second with only vitality and 63 regen per minute gloves which is really only 1 life per second

Well, he has a lot of life, the regeneration node from the templar area and Inner Force for Vitality. That will net you some nice hp regen.

EB leads to huge amounts of mana which leads to big regeneration.

It's that simple, really.
