How ghost bomb will be better than acid rain?
Casting 1 ghost bomb takes exactly same amount of time as casting acid rain.
Except you are doing 8y 110% damage with ghost bomb and 24 yards of 115% with acid rain.
And 30% damage aoe if doesn't crit needs multiple shots with ghost bomb to kill some trash at mp1 anyway.
I tested it quite a lot, and really I don't see how ghost bomb can be better, it is about same skill, just weaker.
Well, it won't be a lot faster, I may have exaggerated a bit. But it holds up to the standard mana regen build. They have more attack speed and less mana regen, so you will actually be able to use about 2 ghost bombs before acid rain will go down, and at over 300k dps everything at mp0/1 should die from 1 hit, so chuck 2 ghost bombs out and you are doing what acid rain does, except that
you don't have to aim it. Not having to aim it really cuts your timing down, just throwing shit randomly as you run. Also, another important thing is that with 300k dps your zombie bears are going to kill elites so much faster, despite going oom. They'll die, you get health globes and get your mana back.
Overall, if you have the best of the best gear, I think going the pure dps build will yield slightly better results, although that's mostly speculation because I don't know anyone who has good enough gear with both mana regen build and the pure dps build to test it further.
Either way, I'd say if you want to build like a retard and go pure dps, it won't be the end of the world for farming lower mp's.
