I had alot of high mana/ES gear so I mad a bline to Elritch battery a little bit faster (playing default atm - I've had so many deaths in HC due to my character desyncing that I'm not playing it right now). I'm wondering: I recently got this 5L chest: What second blue gem would you use? (I burned over 200 chroms trying to get RRGGB - to no avail - it actually took me those 200 to even get 1 GGRBB so I took it) Right now, I'm leaning towards using Siphon > Weapon Elemental Damage > Chain > GMP > +Chaos or +Lighting Damage Any one have any suggestions? I of course wan't Life Leech or Accuracy, but like I said, the Chrom gods won't smile on this pure ES chest for a lucky roll. EDIT* Maybe Critical Strike Chance? Or Crit Damage? Thoughts? Never chaos damage, you have a ton of elemental damage increase. I'd say either added lightning or +crit damage. You have power charges to give you lots of crit, you also hopefully have crit on your wand. I use crit damage on my single target power siphon. Not having a second red slot for life leech should be okay. You'll do more damage but have less sustain/survivability. Not a bad trade-off if you're playing Softcore. Also, want doesn't have an apostrophe. IGN: xBilldozerx	Posted by xBilldozerx#6283 on Feb 20, 2013, 8:27:22 PM Quote this Post

additional accuracy is just awesome for PS aoe. Keep in mind when using chains and lmp, each of your attacks is rolling 9 separate rolls of your %hit accuracy. Also I believe the bounces from chain have some accuracy penalty, so it actually helps you get regularly 8-9 hits per PS instead of only 4-6 without it? Also, the quality bonus on the gem is very good. Here's my 6L link for any wandar hesitating with his 6L setup (warning it took 360 chromatics to get these colours on pure armour base) (U can see I also replaced life leech by Item quantity cause dont need it for SC anymore, 8300 armor 2k8 evasion 29% block shield 3k5 Life and most importantly a +95% evasion or armor granite flask that reloads before its even finished when you have 55% + critchance and 1.85 attacks per second that can each crit 9 times) I'd say others 6Ls possitibilities are faster attacks (if ur wand has a base slow speed u can prolly sustain it, mine is 1.64 so I can't) and of course critdmg blue gem.

I would definitely agree with your choice of Additional Accuracy, if I ever get a 6L I would also use that. Now, give me that chest. :P	Posted by Caimath#2097 on Feb 21, 2013, 4:03:36 AM Quote this Post
can someone explain to me how to obtain such high crit chance? i am lvl 61 and with 5 power charges i am sitting at 28.4% how do u guys reach 50+?? Last edited by Analia_#3070 on Feb 21, 2013, 4:38:30 AM	Posted by Analia_#3070 on Feb 21, 2013, 4:37:29 AM Quote this Post

Crit chance on gear, 2 more power charges (that is 100% extra additive crit chance), crit talents in the shadow tree. I'm not all that into the formulas and mechanics behind it, but that is about the only things I can think of. ------- On another note, I finally managed to roll near perfect flasks, only took me about 200 alterations! Felt nice when I got my Surgeons Granite of Ironskin with only 1 alteration though. :P	Posted by Caimath#2097 on Feb 21, 2013, 4:54:39 AM Quote this Post
