I think you're talking about different things. The mirrored blades synergyfor echoing strike gives extra echoes for hard points, but the mirrored blades provides the extra blades for itself with just soft points.


Ah yeah my bad. Correct, only had mirror blades in mind and not echoing strike.

No idea if it was changed or not. First time I've done a 1 point demon machine mirror build.

Edit: or sorry i am only refering to Mirrored and not echoing.


BTW mirrord blades + demon machine build with external sorc max enchant is absolutely busted. I played it last ladder and it's way better than even pre nerf es. And it basically didn't get any nerfs this patch except for weaker demons/no free conviction. But it shreds even without conviction.

Yes it was my plan for #1 ladder push this season. From my testing the exp/h was insane. Better than even pre-nerf echoing strike.
Sadly got sick the day before reset...

IMO this build is way better without a bound demon, so there's nothing missed by the patch. Some people go with bigger bows for physical damage, but they're missing the point in my opinion. The crux of the build is maxing out the magic damage, and delivering it as fast and effectively as possible. To that end, fanat can help, but it can't really come without losing magic damage. I've been testing out some other variants before I write something up, but I run 2 defilers with one consumed and absolutely melt everything in sight. I even do it without any pierce sometimes to see how it goes, and I don't really miss it except during the hardest of t5 herald fights.
