I Cast Magic Missile! - Cantrip's guide to Ethereal Knives 2.0
" I've done Atziri, and I've done Uber once with a friend (quite a bit of gear+gem swaps, obviously). I don't find it interesting, though. And it involves a whole lot of running for my life :D Both of these (Uber even more so) are about player skill more than DPS or HP. You have a minimum, but I know people with 4K Life doing Uber. Can't say I'm any good at it, but I don't practice Atziri.

Level 91. DPS: 35K.
On a side note:
Spoiler
Found this today:
With master Crafting, this is a 395 PDPS mace. With a few divines, this is over 400 PDPS... I'm sorely tempted to start a new char to use it :D 402 PDPS atm, pretty sure it can reach 428 with perfect Divine/Master. Not that I can afford it. :D Awesome new boots: DPS: 35.5K Spell Dodge +15% [3.22] 💀The Grim Reaper💀 - Hexblast Poison Mines Assassin https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3347191 [3.22] ❄️⚡CantripN's Hadoken! - Lightning Conduit / Crackling Lance / Arc Permafreeze⚡❄️ www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3229590 Last edited by CantripN on Sep 27, 2014, 8:24:17 AM

Wheeee I made this, 21/20 :D any idea of price? I made a new char but kept lvling all of my EK build gems <3 | |
" Nice! I had to spend all my savings to buy one after 2 failed corruption attempts (luckily the attempts didn't decrease the quality of the gems). On Standard they're around 15 Ex, but that doesn't really help you. Cantrip will know about Rampage. Dreamfeather Elemental Cleave Ranger: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1087616

I might know, and I might also want that :D
Anyhow, level 92. 40% Chance to Pierce is VERY noticeable, especially in parties and high-level maps/packs/fracturing. [3.22] 💀The Grim Reaper💀 - Hexblast Poison Mines Assassin

" What made you go with pierce? Think you'll stick with that? I've been freezing for funsies lately with Frostbite + Herald of Ice + Increased Area of Effect + Reduced Mana. I found that when I use Herald of Ice, I actually get more damage with a fully leveled Added Cold Damage than I do with Faster Projectiles, plus Added Cold gives 10% chance to freeze at 20% qual. I've been thinking about taking Freeze on the skill tree for an additional 5% chance to freeze. I don't know if Herald of Ice ultimately does more damage than Herald of Ash with this setup (the tooltip dps is slightly lower but I do get explosion damage that Ash doesn't give), I just like seeing enemies turn into snowballs.

Chance to Pierce is proving GREAT. And I get to use Haste 21, which makes it feel less like wasted currency.
EDIT: To clarify, not using the gem. That one SUCKS. I use the points on the tree. EDIT2: EK 21/20 is in my possession. DPS = 37780.

" Right, you needed more dex, which could be avoided by using Alpha's Howl to boost auras, except that would throw off your mana and life. I am jelly of your high life. I can't get much more than 5k without more levels. On the other hand, I have enough mana for a level 24 AA (and enough to give Herald of Ice one support gem). The more I play, the more impressed I am with how well balanced these builds are. " Welcome to the club! Dreamfeather Elemental Cleave Ranger: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1087616

Hey guys, I've been talking to Cantrip for a bit now and we talk a lot about EK and things that would work, we play pretty much opposite ends of EK as crit and non-crit, therefore I'm going to post my thoughts and setup for crit EK.
I currently use pledge of hands with EB/AA/MoM/IR with dual curse, vaal pact and herald of ice. I'm using a 5l pledge of hands with EK/Faster Casting/Added Fire Damage/Increased Critical Damage/Faster Projectiles, for the 6th link I would add empower. This build is really strong not only because of the damage output, its actually fairly tanky too, with best in slot pieces I imagine it would be incredible. I currently have 65k dps with charges up, 77k with charges and flask. I use curses (warlords mark/assassins mark) for leech and power/endurance charges as I believe you're able to get higher dps this way. I prefer to grab MoM on the tree rather than using a cloak of defiance as the life on this character isn't great and a lot of the items used have no life on them, I'm also around the area on the tree and it feels wasted to not do it. I run a level 15AA at the moment but I'm sure with the right gear and stuff you could run a higher one. Reflect is an issue with the build straight up, either phys or elemental, vaal pact and MoM help a lot with this but it is still pretty sketchy without the right items.
