[2.6] LL PF Crit EK Nova (Probably the best EK Nova build out there)

Can you give me any advice about my character? I decied to go with Chayula amulet just so i dont have to bother with stuns. Just respecced my character into LL so my tree is kinda clunky. Iam kinda worried that i will loose a lot of ES if i ditch the middle ES tree up from Scion. Also do u really think that pierce is not worth it at all? I only got empower 3 so far and 20/20 EK so gonna have to try some more I always really liked EK, but kinda figured that i will have to go LL if i wanna kill bosses fast too.
Do you have any tips for me? Dont know if i can even run CWDT setup since iam not ditching shield charge as a movement skill :/.

Hey!

Your main issue right now is your crit chance being too low. (Even your crit chance gem is low level, that's a big problem.)
You need 66% with power charges, around 45-50% without. Using a diamind flask you'll always crit with charges that way.

So what you want to do next is buying:
a level 19+ inc crit strikes gem (preferably with quality)
and a
dagger with the following stats:
110+ crit for spells
40+ spell dmg (or room for crafted spell dmg)
25+ crit multiplier

shouldn't cost much


If you lack damage you can go pierce. It's not forbidden, i like chain better myself.
In what order did you take your acendancy ?

I hate lab with all my heart, so i did them all at once at like lvl 80 iirc.

Still, i'd take em in this order:
Master herbalist
Master surgeon
Nature's boon

U are right my crit is pretty low. I wil try to work on that. The problem is daggers with stats u mentioned + decent attack speed are freaking expensive :/. I also think i would like to essence craft gloves with ats to socketed gems to increase clear speed even further. Yesterday i managed to get 21/20 EK and i will work on leveling other gems. It shouldnt take long now just the shield and dagger. Anyway thanks for your help.

EDIT: do you think it is worth it to keep the 50% pierce chance on the tree even without running the gem or is it just kinda waste of passive points? Was wondering what could i respec without hurting my clearspeed - more liky trying to clear even faster and still be ok on bosses

But since u run elemental aura, I don't think master herbalist is good. I think veteran bowyer and master alchemist is much better

If you run Chain your projectiles won't pierce at all. The 2 mechanics don't work together as far as i know.

You don't need cast speed on dagger, it's just a bonus for min-maxing the build.

Choose one here with a free prefix and craft spell dmg on it.
Rune Bite Slaughter Knife is a decent option.
I don't use shield charge btw, my movement speed with Onslaught + Quicksilver flask is around 180.

Hello.

Poison gives much more DPS than Master Herbalist would.
