Hey, now this weapon looks like the perfect match to the cakewalk glasscannon wanders will get to enjoy with reflect gone. Sling off countless attacks and spells without a care in the world about retaliation. How nice.

" Any projectile spell can/will double dip a lot too. I'm thinking of doing added fire and herald of ash for the attack, take Elemental Equilibrium, and throw in Ball Lightning and Frostbolt into a DW set up. Fun with projectiles. Throw it on a Gladiator for free charges, attack speed, and defense plus tree proximity to proj damage nodes and lots of attack speed. |

" In the league perhaps a sum total of 2 or so will drop. Always from the overtuned end boss only the money can touch. Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive. Patch Notes 3.19: Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment. |

This looks like it has a lot of potential. Too much, maybe.
I could see this work well with frenzy. Neat. Well, maybe. Zaanus:

So not trying to be efficient in any way, what's the most memetastic build you could do with two of these? I'm thinking use KB with GMP and Volley for maximum memes in a chest socket, with Freezing Pulse, Frostbolt, EK, and Spark (along with their threshold gems) and Volley in each wand. The damage to mobs would probably be laughable, but the damage to my GPU would be sad.

Anyway, an easy calculation shows how broken this item is.
Let's say you have 4 atks/s (not even remotely hard with Frenzy+faster attack). This item: -Naturally 3L a spell. -Adds a lvl 4 empower on top of that (So 4L) -And the cast every 0,25s can be compared to a better CWC + channeled spell (so 6L). Much better actually since you get a spell every 0,25s instead of 0,35s (+40% more casts, almost like another support) Better, you can DW that. So, basically, a fucking lvl 12 item allows you to run a 6L AUTOMATICALLY (more or less) and without any manacost, can be used twice (so 2 6L used at the same time), without any investment and without any restriction (except being a wand, true). Guys, even a bloody blade vortex can be max stacked without any investment. Last edited by Keyen#4575 on Dec 2, 2017, 5:35:59 PM

So, given that apparently a lot of people think this is way op:
How do you actually attack that fast, for still meaningful damage? I mean, I read "when you attack" as on the actual attack. Or is it actually per hit? Zaanus:

" With absolutly 0 nodes: -Frenzy used as the attack skill (X/20) -3 frenzy charges -Faster attack (20/20) -Dual wield You have 10% more AS, 91% increased AS for a total of 3,5 Atks/S. I mean, it's really, really easy to get the cap. The most important thing is avoiding being a bit above (for instance 4,05 atks/S). "Yeah, I was a bit quick on this part, but in my head, CWC is something like "sacrifice 2 supports, set the cast speed of the spell to 0,35s with a +10% more damage in it and the manacost removed". It's not quite the same, but close enough. Last edited by Keyen#4575 on Dec 2, 2017, 7:32:02 PM
