[Outdated] Ultimate EDTrickster [2M dps - UNKILLABLE]
" I just went online to look up rounding in PoE and you are 100% correct. I've been playing since the beginning and never knew numbers don't round up. My apologies to everyone on this. " I use a level 10 Arcane Surge which procs at 64 mana, with my current setup (which I now need to rethink since Enhance is no good) it cost 70 mana. With Arcane Surge socketed to Contagion 1st cast of ED; +15% more spell damage 2nd cast of ED; +15% more spell damage (provided we cast Contagion before ED each time) etc... Without Arcane Surge on Contagion 1st cast of ED; no bonus 2nd cast of ED; 10% more spell damage (I'm pretty sure the bow only gives you a level 1 Arcane Surge) I had never depended on the damage of a 6 link Bane, I just didn't know what to do with a 6 link chest in a meaningful way, but since I do have it, I may as well do something with it. I think being able to get 15% more damage for ED with every single cast is meaningful. now to find a replacement for Enhance. Edit: Even though the bow doesn't state the word "recently" with Arcane Surge on Kill, I'm pretty sure there is a time limit on that. Perhaps someone with knowledge of this can chime in.

You guys are gonna make me cry :(

Sorry about beating a dead horse, but since my last post concerning Enhance, I thought quite a bit about it. But first a little background.
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for ideas for skills to socket into my 6 link Hyrri, I wasn't expecting to find anything different but I did come across one guy that 6 linked his Contagion. My first reaction was same as yours, why? Then I got to thinking about it and decided to give it a try. After my above post I thought again as to why he included Enhance and that's when I realized that that wasn't the only "increase AoE" linked together. In fact we get 49% from a 20/20 AoE gem, 54% from a level 20 Intensify gem, 12% from a level 4 enhance, and 10% for 20 quality Contagion. This adds up to 125% increase AoE, and if you multiply it by the 4 base radius you get exactly a "9" radius. So yes, having a level 4 Enhance will increase your Contagion radius by 1 Edit: This will be the last time that I'll be talking about this. I had never said that this is the best setup. This is just something I use that I like. If you think this is the stupidest idea in the history of the world, well fine, you are entitle to your opinion. I'm just presenting an idea.

" pretty sure the crafted suffix procs a level 1 arcane surge, doesnt care about what you have socketed |
|
I can confirm, arcane surge on kill is always level 1. Besides, you actually have to spend mana to proc arcane surge, the gem straight up doesn't work with eldritch battery.
@rhapsodieinblue If you were levelling with soulrend, I hope you were using GMP ^^' I don't use it in my current setup because I barely even use soulrend at all tho. |

I leveled with both Soulrend and ED :) Since they use same supports, a +2 duration tabula makes clearing to end game cake. ED is great once you can use increased aoe/intensify with contagion.
Just wondering what will be best for my secondary single target. I hit level 21 ED in temple yesterday, so that's going to be a good boost. My biggest obstacle is going to be killing Fenumus now. I might grab a level 20 bane and despair off of trade today to give it a try. Even though soulrend slightly homes while dodging my aim can suck. With the short duration have to fire it a lot more than ED so frantic aiming can be my downfall. *edit* Switched out to Bane...the white links on my Hyrri's let me do 5 off color lul :) Bane (21) Despair (20/20) Swift Affliction Efficacy Controlled Destruction Empower So level 23 bane, 22 despair (36% increased chaos damage/-30% resist) I like this a lot better than soulrend so far.

" I did a Karui/Eternal emblem fight, with horrible, horrible loot. It went too fast to get a clear picture of what I did wrong, but I must have killed too few loot-carrying enemies and/or bad luck. The build does great with Legion areas in maps. What goes wrong in timeless domain? | |
" mobs too spread out, hp difference big between stuff, staggered spawn. Everything that sucks for a dot spec | |
Thanks, I was considering an additional melee build this season. Either that or get a Carry for 5 emblems. Otherwise it's going to be a huge loss, On the other hand, my almost complete Maraketh emblem is good value to sell.

" With current prices, 5 way emblem farming is actually not worth it RN. Emblem prices are inflated by people farming it for XP. If you don't care about XP, you aren't making much/loosing money by doing 5 way fights. |
