[1.1.X] The One-Shotter : AoF EK Witch (With Videos)
bump for this build.
the new changes buff to ek and introduction of echo AND this ring could make this build much more powerful. instead of using cold to fire gem, using this ring frees up a gem slot to use echo/fastercasting instead. of course this means less hp as the ring does not provide hp. and also that whole "no ignited corpse if ignited enemy is killed by hit",but that is moot since this is not a prolif build. in fact its useful aginst necro. after some simple calculations, considering a 5l option alternatively one can ditch both hrimsorrow and cold to fire gem and replace them with echo gem and pyre ring. per hit basis it is 14% less dmg but the MORE multiplier provided by echo not only makes up for it but boost damage even further. also allows u to use a yellow gloves, easier to get hp/resist than ring AND also provide ev/es which ring doesn't. i mean if you want, you can use hrimsorrow+chernobog+pyre but having way too many uniques on that doesn't give hp might be pretty bad |

Please excuse my noob question, but I don't see any advantage of using AoF. I mean, you basically convert 100% of your physical and 100% of your cold damage to fire damage. So effectivley you change your damage source from mixed cold and physical to fire, but you're using up a lot of passive points and a socket for it. Please help me out here :D

" added fire and hatred (which is also converted to fire) as bonus fire dmg, on top of the conversion. unlike physical ek u can ignite enemies and also use curses which can drop resist below 0 and hence do a lot more damage. |

" As I see it, it is the AOF that allows you to hit the magic 100% on both conversions to allow for all damage to become fire. Garrison - Closed beta Elemental Cleave DW Duelist

Hi,
Thanks for this build, The phase of leveling is possible with end spells? I used to ride for my character with Split arrow & Level 20-25 usually. but if it is possible to use EK quickly is always better. thanks. |

Tentative new build for the new patch. I'll probably need to tweak it though. Shadow : Covenant Pulser (504561)
