DonaldF's EK DANMAKU Ranger Extremely High DPS /Jan.14 little update [Videos]




Hi. I'm DonaldF.
I'm Japanese. Probably my English is strange. Sorry.
This is my DANMAKU EK Ranger build.
I hope you enjoy it ;)



Patch 1.0.5
Cast on Crit was changed......

Idea of new gem setup

100% Required Gems
BM version
Cyclone - Cast on Crit - Life Leech - Blood Magic - EK

EB AA veersion
Cyclone - Cast on Crit - Life Leech - EK



Support Gems
- Multistrike
Highest damage, but too much desync

- Faster Attacks
Stable, don't need to change socket color

- Added Fire Damage
Stable, good synergy with AA

- Increased Crit Chance
Increase proc chance and EK damage

- Increased Crit Damage
Increase EK damage, vulnerable to reflect

- PC on Crit
Increase proc chance and EK damage, need to change passive and bandit reward

- Added Chaos Damage
Not bad choice. But, high mana cost.

- Additional Accuracy
Increase proc chance

- Empower
4%attack speed and 20%more EK damage. But, probably other gem is better.


Spell Gems
- Extra EK

- Fireball

- Arc

- Ice Nova



I have to say "I'm really sorry".

Recently, I'm having an affair to another build.

Summoner is the most broken build at the moment.
I love OP build.
I fell in love with summoner.




What's the DANMAKU?

This is DANMAKU.

DANMAKU(弾幕) = bullet hell



There are 2 version of builds. Choose whichever you like :)

other idea

CwDT(Lv1) - PC on Crit(High Lv) - Ice Nova(Lv8) - Ice Nova(Lv8)

or

I didn't test yet.
It's hard to adjust socket color.
