and where will the AR that you need come from ?
you know under 20 000 attack rating is joke and will miss 50%


mastery
purge
echoing strike
dul mephs
also u can add on circ/rings..

u only need much ar if ur char lvl is significant under the monster lvl

10k ar is more than enough and you won't miss 50%. Why are you spreading lies? Hit chance depends on ar and level. At level 90+, you'd need even less ar.

% Chance to hit = 100 * 2 * (alvl / (alvl+dlvl) ) * (AR / (AR+DR) )

Topic, isn’t ES a SPELL and SPELLS don’t require AR??!!!!?????????????????

Another shortsighted post. Would you like ES to become completely melee like zeal?

People forget this is basically blade sentinel that scales (very well)... even with ar, lol. You guys missed the ar bonus in tooltip? It was always suppposed to have it, people that beta tested the early builds confirmed it. Blizzard made no effort to fix it for launch cause it would benefit their bottom line, as always.
All in all, the design direction is good even with the 2h & book offhand limitation (I actually prefer it cause it will make itemization interesting).

I am only sad about the lethargy change. Having useful charges on rings for once was gg.

Luckily you don’t need skillers for es to perform well, so you can fill them with max/ar/lifers or ar/lifers

The changes to warlock aren’t as bad as everyone is making them out to be, it’s still an S tier class

Use an insight bro, 35 fcr, good damage, never run out of mana, 6 crit strike, MASSIVE 180-250% AR boost, and it’s a friggin ral tir tal sol… and since durability will be taken from weapons now, a non eth 4 soc polearm will cost nothing

Might get annoying swapping it out for a game but the set bonus does grant a lvl 30 enchant right? That's a 290% AR bonus that lasts 864 seconds. So at least there's that or demon limb for a free bonus to AR that's pretty massive.
