Is there a build that would use Ephemeral Edge unique?

Because my summoner witch that I haven't played in forever really likes the ES boost but it just looks a bit silly.



I mean imagine a caster weapon that had 45% ES boost, that would be so nice.

Right now she gets 450 ES from it with not all nodes taken and not very good gear.

I guess it seems like a mid-level normal item with this one feature that I need right now.

But really, does anyone ever use it?

I think they use it just for the ES boost honestly. And to get past the letter opener look, people just use reskins I suppose.

Seems like it might be good for an EK character with the global crit and mana leech? I dunno. The ES bonus is nice, though. One of the only weapons (if not the only one) that gives ES, so when paired with the rest of your gear, can give quite a big boost (although it's an increased modifier, not a more modifier, but still nice.

I'm considering it for an offhand CI Melee. Crit, accuracy, buncha es plus the speed and block of dual wield might be decent for a Double Strike build.

Still missing some pieces to go CI, but we'll see when we get there.

Can use it on a summoner if you don't have a heartbreaker I guess. Summoners don't really need anything on their weapon.

Could use it for an ES-based RF character. The extra ES is going to boost your RF damage output.

Isn't 45% on parr with taking between 7 or 8 6% nodes. That's a lot of nodes/ Still the weapon sucks offensively/

Exactly it doesn't seem like an advantage to any melee build after normal and at lower level most people aren't really looking at ES anyway.

And I didn't mean it looks physically silly, it just looks silly for a summoner to walk around with one. But right now, I'm still hybrid life and ES and every bit helps. And it does help quite a bit.

I wonder if corrupted weapons can roll this ES mod or something like, could be interesting.
I would ideally like 1-h weapon with a summoning bonus and %ES ha...I'm sure the penalty would be hurt.

Its a really good cheap ek weapon.. 100% damage + 50% crit with 45% es just begs for CI EK.. Although you will have to make up the cast speed with faster cast support etc.

I know it's physical but I am pretty sure that the physical damage from the weapon does not affect ek at all.
