I decided to jump on the band wagon and my experience so far isn't all that great.

Shako
Enigma
Maras
Soj
Travs
Mage fist

Tried using both insight and hoto dmg is only at maybe 5k ish dps

I will admit im only lvl 70 something so that could be it I guess and I havnt gotten my haphisto yet.

Also im not sure if people are using the buff that gives you the green throwing wpns or the purple ones but wouldn't think that would matter much as im sure dmg is going to be based on gear and overall main skills? Lol im super confused and all over the damn place with this build

max
echoing strike
blade warp
mirrored blades

1 into all of demon tree
enough points into demon mastery to have 2 demons (lvl10)

1 into hex bane

find a cursed demon to bind
summon a goatman and consume him. this will increase your base damage.

1 point into sigil of lethargy.

with remaining points i usually just max leviation mastery.

with a decent insight base you should be doing 15-20k

with might activated on merc you should be 30+ plus.

The biggest thing is having the cursed demon. i prefer hephasto w/ holy freeze. if u want more damage get a hephasto w/ fanta

Thanks for the info. I'm planning on trying this build.

What's the best base for an insight for this char?

Eth CV or CA. regular CV will do just fine and always get 4os. Most important is the critical strike roll, aim for +6. You also want to aim for atleast 79FCR preferably 125

Thanks, and why eth? Does it improve the damage, or is it just to lower the requirements?

more damage. requirements are not really applicable because levitation mastery lowers your weapon requirements
