 Hi there, I am 7Car This is my first post to share my build After released, EK became a popular build for map farming As like other EK build, my build is similar to others. So I just want to share my build (My build is tend to maximize the tooltip) to all of you and give some suggestion during boss fight ProS +As stated by other EK build. Fast, Faster, Fastest! Cons -Expensive if similar gear with me, around 60-70ex My solo full buff DPS : 460K (Original Gem Setting) Passive Tree Ascendant passive

WeaponI love this very much, it dropped in Shaped Vault when I am doing a public party. The mod socketed movement skills have no mana cost is great! Shield Good Crit chance for spell, reasonable life and spell damage, worth 30-40c only HelmetThe most decent league specific item in this league. The Spirit Burst is just like another nova EK. Damage not really high but for clear small mob is enough. And as VP is serious Nerfed, life recovery of this helmet can compensate part of instant leech of VP ChestMy RNG is shit throughout past league, but in this league i got 2 +1tabula out of three. So, i can get lv26 EK easily GlovesThe only gloves you can use if u want 100% conversion to elemental damage(Anyway Hrimsorrow is enough). By the way I suggest to have 'Trigger XXX of light when you take a critical strike', cause its grant you 6% life regen when u take a crit strike, mainly for life saving BootsAround 30c(in early league, similar boots now around 2-3ex!?). Only focus on life, ms, resist. Or you can use Voidwalker for phasing and pierce more targets AmuletPrevious Amulet before Bisco, focus on damage Ummm...needless to say Ring Focus on resist and life, only 30-40c per ring BeltFor maximize the number of Spirit Charges. JewelIf you do not have Voidwalker, this jewel is the best replacement for Pierce Support Gem. This jewel is f__king expensive, but it can replace the Increase Critical Strike Support, so that U can use Empower4 without worrying about the critical chance. Ah, yes. One thing, Ring of Blades is also a must! Abyssal Jewel I use 6 abyssal jewel. Mainly focus on Life, Physical Damage to Spell, Physical Damage to Spell While holding A Shield. And Two of them have mod of % chance to get phasing and onslaught on kill. Flask Original Gem Linkage

1) Ethereal Knives-Spell Echo-Controlled Destruction-Physical to Lightning-Hypothermia-Empower
2) Shield Charge-Faster Attack-Fortify 3)Herald of Ice-Curse On Hit-Assassin's Mark(Most of the build will use Ice bite as well, but the efficiency of getting frenzy is shit, so I use Blood Rage to get Frenzy consistently) 4) Blood Rage-Vaal Clarity-Portal-Leap Slam 5) Cast When Damage Taken-Warlord's Mark-Hatred-Summon Lightning Golem 6) (Spirit Burst)-Physical to Lightning-Greater Multiple Projectiles-Controlled Destruction Budgeting Set-up
Spoiler
Just change Empower4 to Increased Critical Strike
Boss Fight
Spoiler
There are two ways to deal with boss
1) Replace BV directly with EK (GC/Bladefall also good, but if you can sustain 20 layer, BV is the best) 2) Using Vaal Breach For Leveling
Spoiler
I use Sparks-Pierce-elemental proliferation-Controlled Destruction-Arcane Surge to level my char (I use +1 Tabula for leveling). For sure, you need to add faster casting for low lv and spell echo when you reach act4
Karui Ward amulet is also highly recommend When you reach 53lv, you can consider to use EK Extreme DPS Setting - 1mil DPS up (Only for tooltip lover, anyway also map farming viable. But you need GOTTA GO FAST!)

Ethereal Knives-Spell Echo-Controlled Destruction-Physical to Lightning-Elemental Focus-Empower
Use Righteous Fire and Vaal Haste And someone remind me that i can also use Arcane Surge, Sulphur flask, Herald of Ash and Rallying Cry for maximum DPS as well Última edição por carcarhin em 20 de jan de 2018 22:08:01 Último bump em 3 de fev de 2018 17:50:25

Ascendancy order please, and can we use dying sun flask with this build?
|
|
" Added :) I think dying sun isn't worth, cause just add 2 projectile if you need to added one more flask, I will choose Sin's Rebirth, cause you can leech more with chaos damage. |

This setup is so terrible and not min-maxed at all. Money wasted basically. I'd ignore this guide if I were you...

Well do you have a link to a 3.1 EK with the person that created it being active? Because I haven't found one... I almost did but then the dude hasn't responded and there were obvious mistakes in his as well. So I'd prefer to stick to a guide where the person that created it is actually talking/responding(at least he was but its only been a few days since the last one).
I am also curious on what you'd think is the best Pantheon setup and when/if we ever get a fucking Divine Vessel to drop which ones we should shoot for first/second/third/etc to upgrade. Edit: ... oh... not even a few days, literally one day since his last response so I am certain he's still active in here... :P Última edição por arokace em 22 de jan de 2018 02:45:31

Well proved my first point about there being any other 3.1 EK Nova build guides but disproved my other point about the author being active sadly, :( ...

Not only is the Author letting us(well just me really) but also the guy that 'claimed' this guide is shitty is also letting me down. Why say something is bad and then not give info or links or whatever to something that should obviously be an improvement over this... Damn, once again the Exiles of Wraeclast are also letting me down... like always.
