currently got this ^

61k zeal dmg with fools at 3,21 hits per sec (or just 2.5 hits per sec with normal attack if dont wanna use suicide skill)
61k throw damage at 2,08 hits per sec
38k guided arrow damage at 2,08 hits per sec

javelins are nice as they have +2 range adder, imo better than phaseblade or kris, and can be thrown ofcourse.

but damn im not gonna play some char that has to precast both ES and enchant

anyone that has been theorycrafting a bit with this? theres like endless posibilities with this build, beast war axe, passion, fools javelins, kris, fools phase blade, 50/50, pure es, maxblock with twitchthroe, no block

just cant figure out a build thats solid that doesnt require 1 minute precast before every fight.

Warshrike?
Is a knife with -20wsm.
Has 50% pierce.
Ar can be a issue though.

i think the javelins is better tbh^^ -10 wsm, fools, +2 range adder on melee, i do have 1 frame lower but fools and +2 more range adder is worth it imo

plus i could get zeal charges on it even tho its super rare

Ye should be nice

How about:
3zeal/fools/40ias/adds winged knife(-20 wsm).
Bad range adder though.

Yes it’s nice too I think the extra ias frame should be worth the range adder loss maybe, I do have one of those atm but no zeal charges

Also why 3 zeal over 4 zeal? Shouldn’t the middle hits be the fastest ones?

While war jav has better range adder, pb with 1 or 2 os makes reaching ias bp significantly easier and potentially opens up a socket slot for an Um, which is a nice damage boost.

Then you don’t need to use that terrible armor that does little for your build, and can swap in enigma or v magi or g bane

I guess so, I don’t think it’s a terrible armor though, the 49% evade will make you dodge quite a lot vs casters, and it also has rly nice frw that scales with blaze efrw, and ias

I used to always use a phase blade in legacy with a viper 63 fcr setup

I picked up a 5os staff base w +3 enchant/+3 energy shield for a CTA. On swap I just buff everything.

I also like guardian angel and maxing res. And w no jewelers or treachery/hustle, you have to find ias elsewhere. I went w an ias jewel in chest and ik 2 piece - gloves boots. But then you lose frostburns, a massive mana chunk for ES. I think hybrid favoring life is the best route. I’m level 91 currently and siitting at 1100/700 or unbuffed. I get up to 1700/1000 after CTA. Maxed telekinesis, 1 point in ES and then my +3 ES CTA. Fire Mastery is done at like lvl 96 or 97 and you can you last remaining points into ES. When it’s all said and done I think ES will be at like 80% absorb. I plan on putting the rest of my points in energy, putting the base at 140. My AR w passion zeal and accuracy merc is 15500 or so. 87% to hit Baal minion. But that doesn’t account for the 270 or so demon AR on the guardian angel. Personally feel like fast passion and 2x dream, the chest piece basically dictates your direction. But yah I like a lot of what guardian
Angel brings to the table.
