would you prefer 12% attack speed enchantment on boots or 0.5% leech?

What about skipping EK for Empower?.. higher lvl spark and pulse will give huge dmg boost?

Think about this: 33% of damage is FP, 33% of damage is SPARK and 33% of damage is EK.

Now, if you remove EK, and put allmost any support gem, even empower lvl 4, you will get 40% max ore damage for FP and SPARK, so math say that one more spell is more damage then any support gem.

The three spells doesnt do equal damage, so it is not quite correct to simply split the total damage we do into 33% for each spell.
It just feels like EK does far less damage than FP and spark.

Alright, here's a video. Please don't laugh at the seditionist part, I thought I had my curse flask on me at the time, haha. It's just a gorge, but figured it would be fine just to see how it goes. I'd show a higher level map, but I've been running in a group of friends and don't really have many of my own at the moment.

Sorry about the occasional freezes, my game's been doing that a lot lately when loading new assets. More than it used to, anyway. Also not usually quite this careless around high damage map mods.

Technically I could get knockback with blast rain as well if I took king of the hill, I just didn't feel it was worth the points and it may actually be counter productive if it knocks them out of the blast radius. That is a good point for barrage if you're going in that direction.

Single target wise, I have to disagree. You're probably losing on average at least two of the barrage hits due to the CoC cooldown, and the delay between hits is the only difference between the two skills for single targets unless you're running GMP, which would only exacerbate the cooldown problem. The main (and it can in some circumstances be quite noticeable) problem with blast rain's single target is the bit of delay if you're fighting a very mobile target (like the Gorge boss, although in the video I didn't actually see him until he was dead due to all the ridiculous Perandus mob junk.)

There's also a bit of an opportunity cost involved with the barrage setup in that the volley fire gems are taking the place of what could be another 7% life and mana on hit/crit multi etc, although I suppose that's not too big of a deal. Barrage is just fun, you get to leave arrows everywhere. Honestly that was one of the main draws for me when originally planning the character. I wanted to leave arrows all over the place.

Here's a graph I dug up from a guy who did some testing on barrage's cooldown problem. This was done with GMP socketed so your setup shouldn't be affected as much as this, but you are attacking faster as well. Blast rain also suffers a bit from the cooldown, but it's definitely far more spread out on average.
