Staff Knockbacker: Maximum knockback with hegemony's era (GS / SS)

"In addition, like mentioned previously, the ingame tooltip provides your character's accuracy as well as your chance to hit. The chance to hit usually changes every time you level up. So we can safely assume that the game calculates your chance to hit an average monster of the same level as you."

What if I wanted to make a Life-ES hybrid version using scion. Would something like this work?

I have no idea about es/life hybrid builds, but just looking at your build i can make it more tight, by taking juicy life and es nodes more close to your existing paths:

That build is weird.

Why Hired Killer? 4+4+6% life?
But not Athleticism 8+6+6%?
Or the 12% Health node at Shadow?

What's Holy Fire good for in this build?

@joyfulkilla
Why Scion? And what's the point of life/ES hybrid? How do you restore ES in Combat?

Templar update. I'm hyped.

How do you get 80% crit chance?

570% increased crit chance from tree, and 7 power charges which equals additional 350%.
570%+350% added together equals 920%.

8,61% from staff multiplied by (1+9.2) is 86.1%.

No need to get crit on gear, hurrai!

Because i'm bored, i tried CoC sweep. Pretty awesome, even with very low level gems.
I think sweep calculates chance to crit individually for each enemy, so it can crit quite a lot, and its not on/off.



- Sweep
- Multistrike
- Faster Attacks
- CoC
- Flame Surge
- Shock Nova

The knockback will push enemies into the Shock Nova kill zone. Shock nova shocks. Good AoE.
Herald of Ash ignites. Flame Surge good single target skill.
Very colorful, such wow.

Will test with Herald of Thunder instead of Haste sometimes in the future.

I also tried with SRS, but need to level gem first, they die too quickly.

Skill tree for 1.3, Lvl 86:

Without Acrobatics:


With Acrobatics:


Lost about 90% chance to crit (570 -> 485). Nothing I can do except 5 points for Heartseeker (Level 91) with the acrobatics tree. Therefore Chance to crit goes down from 86 to around 80, which sucks.

Smashing Strike will make add 16-20% physical mitigation, rawr! Such tankyness!

And:

Blood Rage Tree; 3% life regen (No Acrobatics):
