I have a question concerning Skill points...is it really worthwhile to get the 5% spell damage nodes as well as the 8% increased projectile damage nodes? The DPS increase for me was rather miniscule (~20dps on a 1000 dps EK).

edit: another question, is the unique Dagger Hearbreaker useful for this build? It looks pretty nice..

Well it depend on your DPS. I take 6% cast speed node last level and my DPS rise with almost 300 points. My EK deal 5600 DPS right now. So, at higher levels every cast speed/spell dmg/projectile dmg node worth to be taken.

Sorry if I made some mistakes, it's not my native language.

How to run all auras...
need haste/hatred/anger/purity/determination/wrath.

Impossible. Haste/hatred/purity=total of 110% mana reserved. Even with reduced mana gem it will be quite impossible to run 6 auras.

It is possible to run Determination/Hatred/Purity/Haste on your mana by using reduced mana gem and picking up the 4x Reduced Mana Reserved nodes - but it would be too many points invested and too impractical for this kind of build.

hi

does mana leech work on gloves for EK ?

If you are referring to the "% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched Back as Mana" mod, then no - it won't work. This is because the leech only applies to attacks, while EK is a spell.

God I am lvl 51 in Solaris Temple Cruel right now and I get absolutely destroyed by those small ribbon thingies and the big Fireball guys, even though I have 75 fire res.

The problem is that evasion absolutely sucks against a lot of small critters.

I sit around 2k life, 400ES and 2k evasion right now, but I have absolutely not armor whatsoever (need evasion equipment because of socket requirements).

How do you guys survive?

My gear as a reference:

Wouldn't this build be better suited with more hp nodes?

thx

I have to say is not so easy to equip yourserlf with armor - armor/es when you need a 4L with 3 green 1 red for bear trap setup, and a 5L with 4 green e 1 red or 3G2R for EK setup... I found out you don't even have the dex to max bear trap and you need to rely on gears for that...

How do you heal yourself with this build? Only flasks?

What is ur opinion on 4L Ek+Fork+Life leech+Blood Magic?

That would allow me to run many auras (determination+hatred+vitality+grace on bm+some other)

Hey, does quil rain + broadstroke quiver work till mid level or its just early level ? Also , why do u use iron will ? Sorry but was too lazy to go through 50+ pages for an anwser :)

Iron Will can just be viewed as an increased spell damage gem with a cast speed penalty. Since Inva's old build had over 250 Strength, he was getting about 50+ increased spell damage (even more if it was a quality gem). Once you start levelling it up, you start to reduce the penalty - completely negating it once the gem is maxed out. Note: Not to be confused with Iron Grip.
