[3.1] Raider - The Poet's Pen theory/plan

If I understand correctly there is a 250ms cooldown for The Poet's Pen skills. So with 1 spell gem (2 supports) in each Pen you would want an attack rate as close to 4attacks/sec as possible, without going over and with 2 spell gems (1 support) in each you would want an attack rate as close to 8attacks/sec as possible, without going over.

I've designed a Ranger (Raider) with a 7.82 attack rate, for 2 spells per Pen (duel wielding), using Frenzy as base wand attack, most of the passive tree damage coming from +% projectile damage (all 4 Pen spells being projectiles).

Plan (depending on cost) is to try for 4 Pens so I can just weapon swap skill combos from GMP to Controlled Destruction for clearing vs boss fights.

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be appreciated. Hoping I have the understanding of The Poet's Pen correct.

I think I should be able to get off an average of just over 15 spells / second.

nvm. I didnt read properly

An interesting take on the poet's pen that might be more worthwhile is Socketing 2 SRS gems into it and using a curse on hit setup with punishment or something, see how many SRS you can get!

might be cool :D
