For the same points invested you can can pick up RT plus the Elementalist nodes in the Templar section which is 34% ED as well as +12 all res. At that point you're also close to Devotion life nodes so move a couple from the constitution nodes for better return. Then you also free up the Add Accuracy gem for a FA gem.
That all far out-weights going after EO

Hey, thanks a lot for the explanation. So point blank is indeed good for this skill.
But I see it's even better if you don't use increased aoe effect if I understood that correctly, huh?
Has anyone done some tests on whether using a socket on inc aoe is truly worth it, then? Would it perhaps be more worthwhile to always use conc effect or maybe switch that socket out to something else entirely? Maybe slower projectiles?

Something else (and maybe more for HC people), how do you guys feel about http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Red_Nightmare

The chaos damage conversion aside (avatar of fire), I find the effect to be pretty interesting.

Look at this spot:


I have circled the jewel slot and all nodes that would apply.

That would be a whopping 41% chance to get an endurance charge on kill if you took all of them. 29% without the 12% fire node to the left of diamond skin which is a bit annoying to get to. Especially considering we can't really fit an enduring cry in the build, that seems very strong.
I'm not sure we would get the block chance from the jewel, no idea if we'd be allowed to block with just a 2handed weapon. In that case we could just use the weaker http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Red_Dream

Thoughts?

I'm trying to get that unique jewel too, it's seems really good on paper!

Doesn't it also open option to invest into Catalyse node? 44% weapon elemental damage for 3 points.

I'm building a very similar build, though my guildmates call it Spicy Meatballs.


I don't have endgame gear yet, but unlike OP, I scale both cyclone and procs off the axe. I want to run arctic armor,

cant leave the feeling that we waste 7 points for pont blank only(plus Vitality Void as result). can we spend better 7 points with point b;nk support?
