a near 9% increase damage for each spear is nothing huh?

as an es lock , u are spreading the spear to as big aoe as possible and each spear with a 9% increase is consider low for you . Very cool bro

u can remain HL + trang as your best , no problem

bro idk what are those numbers, probably not counting DS and bad build to begin with, nice try tho

it is included ds and the build is standard es gear , stop being ignorant

or u can paste whatever char planner link here, where u get better damage with HL + trang , let's see

bro i dont need run to anything lol

its simply not possible to have +9% global phys dmg with rends and +1 skill compared to 37 DS, even with factoring crit in

Aaa nice, right you don’t realy need fcr gloves when going insight with meph…. steelrend ain’t it though, for me at least.

But running trires gloves with mana leech sounds awesome. Solves basicly everything you are missing on the build without dropping gores.
Nice dude !!! Now it looks realy good.

In the end it is still 45 skills and 78 crit vs Ariocs 47 with 90 crit.
So it IS less damage. But the gap is super small and at this point the QOL from the aura will be worth it for sure. I realy like insight with res/leech gloves.

Just not sure if gloves are the slot where I would drop fcr. If you realy want more ed you can go with fcr gloves 1 fcr ring instead of 1 bk (would give you your mana leech + much needed res) and go phoenix instead of meph.

But what bout ondal ? 125 fcr with 44 skills 80 crit AND phoenix sounds realy good

okay bro lol

bro tell us how 60ed and 20 str gives you +9% global phys dmg i'll wait here

in any case loh > rends bro

deal with it

If you realy want to go the more ed route with insight I would probably run fcr gloves, 1 fcr ring (all res single res, mana leech) instead of 1 bk and then phoenix instead of meph. Will give 3 less skills though.
Overall highlord might still be best just because we already have sooooo much ed and crit is just the best damage stat.

The only build that 100% shouldn’t consider highlord is arioc since it can hit 90%+ crit without it.

this is with eth ondal + protector stone jewel where u wont bug the protector jewel.

and yes this is actually higher damage compare to u socketing a Lo as u can fully take advantage of 2x 40ed 9str jewel in your circlet

lots of people using this as well during leveling and start shifting to other once they hit 99

I agree there bro

either way it doesn't matter much, just use whatever weapon you prefer at the end, the difference is just too small to even notice

they should really patch eth weapons and durability loss with ES anyways
