max
echoing strike
blade warp
mirrored blades

1 into all of demon tree
enough points into demon mastery to have 2 demons (lvl10)

1 into hex bane

find a cursed demon to bind
summon a goatman and consume him. this will increase your base damage.

1 point into sigil of lethargy.

with remaining points i usually just max leviation mastery.

with a decent insight base you should be doing 15-20k

with might activated on merc you should be 30+ plus.

The biggest thing is having the cursed demon. i prefer hephasto w/ holy freeze. if u want more damage get a hephasto w/ fanta


Couple questions for you. First, should the bios be using hex: bane over hex: purge for higher dmg/clear speeds

Second, You use an act 2 nightmare merc for might? Or pride?

Third, the standard maxrolll WS build guide suggests maxing out hex purge then demonic mastery (after the big 3) but not Levitation mastery. I assume you just personally like having the lower weapon requirements vsz higher dmg from maxing hex purge/demonic mastery

The last hex gives -30%enemy damage

Use act 2 might merc with pride

Levitataion gives you damage and critic, you can level instead blood oath for damage reduced or consume for better damage when eating the goat.

Eth CV or CA. regular CV will do just fine and always get 4os. Most important is the critical strike roll, aim for +6. You also want to aim for atleast 79FCR preferably 125


I rolled a 204ed insight with +6 crit strike. Should I reroll? Not sure if dmg is more important than crit on this wep

I dont remember where i saw/heard is but crit stirke +1 is like 8%, and +6 crit strike is 46%, i think its better for +6 than high ed

the base damage on your weapon is insignificant next to the power of echoing strikes skill damage

i find your lack of faith in crit disturbing

You don’t need to overthink it any eth elite insight will wreck the game, but 6 crit strike is doing more for you than 50 ed anyway
