isn't EK is phy dmg skill? why not using some weapon that has a high attk dmg?
That seems to be the popular misconception for EK. EK is a spell, so spell damage and cast speed are what applies, not attack speed or weapon damage. Also, wands are the only weapons that can roll the projectile speed modifiers which is a pretty important stat for this build as the more projectile speed, the further out the knives reach(EK is pretty short range with no modifiers).
Edit: Accidentally a word.

I have a question I'm currently progressing a Chin Sol Point blank Tank Shadow and I was planning on getting Eldrich with Inner force but I have almost no ES and unless I either get ES nodes or ES Gear I don't think Eldrich is worth it. Let me know what you think please.

One piece of ES gear with EB can give you enough mana to run 2 additional auras in game (so from anger + wrath to anger + wrath + clarity + discipline + determination) - discipline is also "free" in that it adds more mana than you spend on it.

So using a wand with 97% spell dmg increase works perfectly?
are you 100% sure?

Of course, it's a spell, just like Fireball, Freezing Pulse or whatever. The only difference (and that's what makes EK so special) is that it's not fire, ice, lightning or chaos dmg but physical dmg.

Spells dont cale off of your weapon damage thats why you should use a wand.

maybe a dumb question. so anything that would grant +physical dmg wouldn't benefit this because it's a spell and only benefits from + spell dmg, am i right? :)

Technically, it should benefit from BOTH Spell and Physical- much as a Lightning spell would benefit from +Lightning Damage & +Spell Damage
