Hey All,

TLDR: What should I put in the IK Maul sockets for an Echoing Strike Build

I am running a echoing strike build and have the Full Splendor Set and the weapon I have been playing with recently is the IK Maul.

I think I am going to keep using it until I can get a BOTD or Fort weapon. (Im poor so im far off haha)

If my Numbers are right this is what I am doing per echo to targets (Before target def/res) Also Lehargry helps lower that by 38%

IK - 24-36k
%Bonus Demons = 48k - 72k
%Bonus Undead = 60k - 90k

I also have a Eth Executioner's Justice which as the damage of 27k - 46k, but it also has a -33% target defence, which means with Lethargy I have -70%ish lowered target def.

I have a Hephasto Hell demon with cursed and something I cant work out, as soon as he is next to a mob their immue to phyisical just vanishes, not sure what cuases that but ill take it :D

The IK feels like it destroys targets faster, if I take off my 5 set and put on a lay of hands the demon damage bonus jumps to 550% which is crazy, but I like the 5 set bonus for tankability.

So what I am asking is mainly what would you reccomend I put in the IK sockets? I have a couple of ED jews, one 37% the other only 27% but I am not sure if thats is pointless. Been off the game for years and came back so I am just getting my head around it all again.

Any infor would be great.

Cheers!

Defense/attack rating is not used with echoing strike.

I personally use 2x Eld rune for +100% damage against undead which is considered gm in pve.

Since IK is a temp, any cheap ed jewel just like the 37ed u mentioned will be the best.
Any elite insight such cryptic axe, even if non Eth, will be far better though. Glhf

Forget Fortitude, BotD and friends. Insight beats them all - and costs almost nothing.
