Searching for the Secret Elemental Hit Build

Hmm, dual Dyadus, EE, and as many Ele damage and status nodes as you can get?

Nice, but what if it hits the same element consecutively?

What about using Soul Taker to deal w/ mana once and for all?

Mana cost isn't even the worst of it.
You can solve that by the reduced mana cost of skills or Blood Magic.
But then you need to scale attack speed. Run elemental auras.

Oh what the hell, you may as well run Ele Buzzsaw instead.

had a pretty op build , but then ranged attack totem,ele hit , crit weakness was hit in the same patch :( , might try it out again now that harbringers are in the game

best i could come up with was something like this using double doryani's

then u get crit rings or tamings depending on wealth, and crit crit multi ami, standard crit set up

should net you 300% increased ele off page, 90 off rings and belt 100% off doryani's, probably could hit 400% crit multi

links would be WED faster atks multi strike blood magic, crit multi i guess maybe melee splash though a 4link static with phys to light would be superior aoe. mana draw shouldnt be too bad but there is no elemental mana leech or what not. paper dps still suks, even if you take into EE it leaves alot to be desired...

auras would be haste grace, no ele auras cause then u cant use EE, aka u lose massive dmg. i dont know, if you ran ele auras might be better but still.

and lets not get started on the no defences.

EE's Base Damage is not good enough to warrant going without Elemental Auras. EE does not triple your Damage, Anger/Wrath/Heralds will. You could go Physical + EHit + EE, but then why not use a stronger Attack instead and scale your Phys Damage way higher.

It might serve as single-target for an Elemental Attacker. *shrug*

your 300 tooltip dps against monsters with 75% resistance is 75 effective dps.
while 100 tooltip dps with EE against monsters with 75% resistance is 75 effective dps.

now you understand what the trouble ele hit + EE?

Little correction: it is (1/3)*25+(2/3)*75=58 effective dps because if elements are switched randomly (which is what I believe; if it is wrong, please correct me) then there is 1/3 chance that the next hit will use the same element so EE will not increase its damage. Anyway it is obvious that EH is better with EE than without it.
