well, yes. EK, and spells in general, are extremely cost efficient. but if you're going low life, that means you have a shav...which means you're probably not strapped on currency

ele wanders don't need a crazy weapon. only phys wanders do

but the main thing for low life builds is attacks get massive ias and life leech from blood rage, and basically free frenzy charges. and crit attacks with wrath basically means the whole screen is instantly triple shock stacked


haste simply doesn't have a good return on investment. it's something you use when you have mana to spare and don't are out of useful alternatives. it's ok for EK since fcr is so hard to come by, but there's better mobility options than running...and there's speed rolled quicksilvers if running's your only option anyways

I desync far too much to use a movement ability... I leveled a lightning warp and half the time it wouldn't even teleport me. But I have 50% move speed from gear alone when I am in non-MF gear and 30% in MF. It gets the job done pretty well.

It would put EK on equal footing to melee dps, but for some reason GGG is violently against that.

Equal footing? No way man, EK is already way too easy to scale efficiently compared to mele, being able to scale it of physical damage, projectile damage, spell damage, cast speed and spell crit, as well as any of the +elem damage gems and the hatred aura... So many options... You can run EK as any class and always have passives available that scale it... I don't think the same can be said for any other spell/attack in the game.
