Here's the Skill Gem information for the new Charged Dash!

Probably trickster with new swift killer and free attack spd/casting can be a thing.

or

Pillar of Caged God Zerker XD

or

Gladiator with new Shield and MoM

actually you don't get more distance with more MS. the max distance is fixed, more MS just gets you there faster and thus less time to generate attacks while moving.

Oh I misunderstood then. So it's almost certainly better to maximize Attack Speed primarily. And I guess casually having a ton of MS wouldn't hurt (Because of the bonus for reaching max distance) but depending on numbers might be awful (E.g. you move Ghudda-Sonic-fast and generate a total of two attacks across the dsitance) or incredible (You move really goddamn fast and generate just enough aoes to actually hit everything in the way)

Does Charged Dash deal attack damage per cluster or DPS per cluster?

Let's say I have 1000 attack damage and 5 aps.
Do I deal 1000 damage per CD cluster or 5000?

Doesn't this logic lock you into an ever-increasing spiral of infinite DPS? So if that does 25,000 damage over 5 clusters then your dps is really 25,000 and it should do 125,000 damage so it should do 625,000 damage etc.

Why would you think it deals damage based on "DPS"? LIke everything else it will use your attack damage. It already scales your APS into the skill.

Is this skill going to use main hand only or alternate when dual wielding?

ya it seems like you'll most likely be trying to maximum attack speed while balancing movement speed. too much movement speed will space out the attacks and overcome your attack speed so that you have minimal aoe coverage of the explosions, but too slow MS will mean you're a snail and that always sucks, lol.

i know i'll first be trying with as much movement speed as i can muster. should be able to hit around 250% pretty easily.

The issue with this is that the explosions overlap a lot... like a lot. So when you move that fast you only get 5 explosions but the maximum number with okay attack speed and just boots you get 12+ explosions that are mostly all overlapping while with 250% move speed you just do the base DPS with no over lap so you completely lose the benefit of the multiple explosions (other than for damage over the whole line). So if you increase it even more than 250% you start to lose full coverage and will leave gaps of full HP dudes

you're basing this off that one website thing which supposedly calculates it, which who knows how accurate that is.

but again, its about movement. yes if you want to walk the speed of a lvl 1 marauder wearing armor then by all means with high attack speed you can get upwards of 12 overlapping explosions which is a lot of damage but extremely little speed.
great for single target.

or you can move fast and get less overlapping explosions. as i said in my post, it will be about balancing the movement speed with your attack speed - to your liking.
clearly you'll want faster movement speed to clear maps, as you won't need as much dps/overlapping explosions and you want to go through it pretty quickly. single target you'll want to move slower. this is just obvious stuff.

this skill attack with both weapon when dual ????

Hey, quick question and maybe I'm reading this wrongly. It says with lower movement speed with faster attack speed gives more attacks per cast essentially. I thought you wanted lots of movement speed and lots of attack speed to maximize the potential of this skill? So are you either getting faster movement speed to obtain the MORE damage faster or move slower to get more attacks in for mobs? I'm just confused here.

The way it works is that the secondary mirages, which do AoE damage, are placed as you move along the teleport path at your movement speed, while attacking at your attack speed, and each attack places one AoE. So faster attack speed means they're closer together. (Less "travel time" between each one). Faster movement speed means they're further apart. (You travel further in the time between each "attack".)

Since the second mirage moves along the path and attacks at each location, does that mean cast on crit will trigger at each location?( and if so is crit rolled for the whole dash or each individual locations? )
