Hi guys!

Just a PSA: I highly recommend using Tabula Rasa until about level 70 with this build. You do not need MoM until then and the 6L is incredibly invaluable.

I'm doing over 3,000 DPS with my 6L EK with EK+FP+FC+AFD+BM+LL at level 60 and just demolishing everything. I used ST+LMP+LGOH+FA+FP+BM up until 55. I haven't had any close calls as you just kill things so fast.

I really recommend grabbing a Tabula Rasa until you plan on doing maps. The only crappy part is you're going to lose DPS when you get higher level and switch to a 4L or 5L =P

I don't really like casting totem so I'll only use one linked with cast on dmg taken and I'm wondering should I go for lvl 10 decoy or lvl 6 devouring? Also on a 4L with AA-curse-faster casting what should I use as the last gem other than empower?

Unfortunately since the nerf the Decoy is the only viable option on the CoDT. Pre-nerf I had devouring on it and it worked so well for this build... life + mana leech!!

I'll go with decoy then. Regarding my 2nd question which you didn't answer, would it be a good choice to use detonate dead then for those annoying necromancers since it will be linked with faster casting? Also whats this nerf u talk about devouring, checked all patch notes since 1.0.0 and didnt find anything about it.

I'm still leveling, in early cruel, just about to get EB and then move to IR. Am I correct to think that I need to wear armor/es or evasion/es pieces?

D:, What if you're new & poor

Anyways, my scion is currently lvl49 and goes through content pretty well. How much dps should you have on EK before doing maps?

I was wrong when I thought I could afford a 6L for this build so I'm gonna end up with a 5L for a while. What content can I do with only a 5L and how bad is my dps gonna be?
