" Wouldnt Added fire damage be better than Added lighnting due to lower mana cost? Thats what I what I used while leveling. |

" Better because of mana cost and also better for damage. I had to scramble for some strength once I read that it worked. I was planning on leveling an Added Chaos Damage for the combo, but it's just too expensive for me to support effectively going the cast speed route. Here's my gear: Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Note that at one point my backup plan if the whole EK thing went south was to try a Discharge/Blood Rage build. That never really got anywhere, though with a different build and an Enduring Cry (never found one, and EK was working too well from pretty much the very start to bother buying one) it might have potential. It's always good to have a backup plan, even if it's not a great one. Urist McDwarfy has been happy lately. He admired an exceptional ARPG recently. He took joy in slaughter lately. He has been attacked by the dead recently.

" It works for some spells, Frozen Pulse (is that the right name?) is one of them. The logic is that the projectile flies for a set amount of time, not distance. So by it going faster, it goes further. |

Oh, the added lightning is simply because it's all I had at the time. It's also a semi-concept build, so that works too.
I've just hit Cruel, level 29. I find Vulnerability is a nice addition to the style, although again it's mostly just because it's all I have handy. With the passive skill reset next week, I'm loath to go much further, however. ;) If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |

So I take it plus 1 to melee gems socketed in this item won't help any? Was thinking if there was a way to increase its level by 1 it would be pretty potent.
Edit: not that it isn't, seems to be doing quite well. But it bothers me CI seems like a must right now for chaos, especially for those of us on hardcore. Last edited by SEOINAGE#6531 on May 31, 2012, 10:06:12 AM

Interesting build for sure. Just a quick question, what was the reason for grabbing the cold dmg nodes ? (especially the three at the top)
I can't see any cold dmg on your gear so was it purely to improve on the Ice Spear you have equipped ? |
|
" Nope. It also increases the added cold damage from Hatred, which is about 22% of my total damage on EK right now. It also increases chill/freeze duration by increasing the cold damage, which is always nice. During the passive skill reset I may try to redistribute enough points to reach the other projectile damage nodes, but it'll be a stretch. " I'm not certain if that works or not, but I would guess no, since it's a spell and not an attack. Urist McDwarfy has been happy lately. He admired an exceptional ARPG recently.

Great work here!!! I may be trying a variation of this out if the next patch doesn't ruin it. I always like the idea of EK, but it felt underwhelming to me.
