I’m not sure those crit chances seem way off

I heard if u use Alibaba it will multiply the MF by the number of echo. So it's x5 effect !

If it is way off, why is ETH Arioc so very sought after now?

Many have tested on various weapons and concluded it IS the BIS weapon, including me.

But to each, his or her own.

I’m not saying airoc doesnt deal the most damage, I’m saying those crit numbers seem weird / not calculated correctly

Also weird that insight isn’t on the list but fortitude is, even tho forti gives you only 56% total crit while insight alone gives you 61% without counting any other crit sources

why can't you use your brain and simply search for the answer yourself as it has been answered 90000 times over the past few days. Need your hand held constantly? and eth arioc was a based merc weapon for trav barbs before all these lgbtqi+++++++++++ warlocks started wanting one because their favourite online autist or guide told them it was BiS. Maybe those warlocks should just stick to wirt's leg.

ariocs sucks fortitude mega sucks

its not exactly rocket science, echoing strike adds vastly more damage from +skills than it does from base damage on weapons
insight is +0 skills / 35% fcr and takes you from 30% -> ~74% crit on its own, + meditation aura not from merc
ondals is +4 skills / 45% fcr and adds much more damage than fortitude
obsession is +4 skills / 65% fcr / 70% all resists / 25% life / 30% mf / 60% fhr

they're all better options than ariocs or fortitude or wirts leg with 2 chipped gems in it

I have been using Death on Ladder an EBOTD off ladder. I really like Death and think it's underrated.

Wirts third leg….

Used eth botd war pike
Used eth forti thunder maul
Now using insight eth cv and its best so far

Been running Death because I had everything needed in the stash and it melts everything. Any of the higher end options will make it a cakewalk, it comes down to personal preference in QoL. Want the FCR breakpoint, more res, meditation, bang for your buck, etc.
