With 90 IAS eTomb and 80% gear IAS you can hit 3 frames. Which I didn’t see as possible but with the 60 IAS armor it makes more sense to go eTomb.

With my specific eTomb and Archon Staff (332% and 397%). My eTomb at 3 frames is doing 500 more DPS before all other multipliers (click back a few pages for my DPS calculations). I also can unsocket my eTomb and get better jewels and hit potentially 354% ED. Making it really no contest.

I even did some math assuming a 4/4/4/4/6 eBotD Archon and 4/4/4/4/5 as well and they still both lag behind my current eTomb setup.

If you add a Faith merc to this and hit 3/3/3/3/4 it becomes an ever bigger gap.

I guess eTomb is still king for PvM.


With the 60 IAS armor + laying on hands, we don't need highlords right? We can then use atma's scarab instead for amplify damage. We lose out on deadly strike but we're able to kill phys immunes. I dunno if that's really worth it tho.

Not worth it. DS is a huge multiplier.

Only deadly strike u have is:
35 highlord
15 gores
(maby 15 Guilaume)

So not using hl ur left with very low deadly strike.

If it stays active, maby some 40ias/2soc/4xx ed/eth/self rep/5ctc amp giant tresher comes on the realm.

I uses such at asgard.
With 70 ias it slayed. +4 range adder!

So effective that i did not even use rabies there like on eu nl.

540ed/70ias/250ar/self rep/eth/5ctc amp
15 off wep ias and ur at 3/3/3/3/5 frames.

Full str bug, 180frw/100fcr/+4range adder/4-4-4-4-5 frames/ctc amp/2 x same wep for inzane wsg strike.

This wolf slayed at asgard. People tried to flee, but they had no idea when i was in range or was jumping them or whatever. Necroes and such really had no chance lol, they even prisoned a lot xD and vs smiters i could wsg strike them and win plenty of duels, as i hit them mid charge/when they tried to smite with the epic range adder. People are also not used to +4 range adder. Its always a suprice for them xD

Do these new breakpoint shift the meta at all for melee classes? Or is this a minor improvement?
