However, it should deal a chunk more damage than a Starkiller, even if it's MO'd to 200%/+30 max due to higher weapon damage and boost to EWD/strength. The proc is also stil really good, and the more "on striking" WDM procs you have, the more potent they all become due to being able to proc each other on top of itself.

Aaaand we don't really have too many better places to put the points still. Rathma's can be capped for some Deadly strike or Death pact for some extra defense but that's about it.

So I should go Embalming, dragonfire, death ward, windowmaker, famine? as the MAX, 14 flametail, and rest in death pact? with skellies, rathma, and talon? being 1 pointers probably? Currently I have leftovers in famine, didn't seem like 5-10% was gonna make a big difference but it could now that my dmg has gone up drastically. It feels like having to put so many points into death ward as oppossed to before hurts the total skillpoint value we have leftover.

As you get more +max skill levels, you'll feel the loss of points even more. Once you get a decent weapon (Hwanin or better), you can prolly leave Famine at 1 point tho.

Choices for skill points include Talon's hold (25% slow cap for bosses), Rathma's chosen (1% deadly strike per point), Death pact (defense yo)

Yeah I'm getting there now, Still pretty much just Buriza and a solid craft beating Hwanin I'm guessing, I read you're using Advent currently for bossing, how's it feel compared to a good craft/Buriza? Ty for the advice Moasse, any clue when we'll get an end-game update? Patiently waiting just curious...

An amazing craft beats all other options.

If you got a high-roll Advent, I wouldn't bother with Buriza and if you got a high-roll Buriza, I wouldn't bother with Advent. They're not that far from each other when it comes to single target.

Also the endgame update should come today.

Fantastic another thing I noticed while playing around last night is that the physical dmg from death pact scales more per point kinda like barb wolves etc.. I was at almost 300% physical dmg and after reset and putting leftovers there (13 points as opposed to 26) I have only 120% I believe, so it goes up rather drastically @.@ would that be something worth visiting? It seems like I lost a sizeable chunk of damage for something we're just considering defensive. I had it maxed over widowmaker before, and it feels like I was doing quite a bit more dmg even losing the extra projectiles. I know a lot of those barb skills are max or 1 pointers if not. Just something I thought I'd throw out there and let people check on, I'm done for now though with my ramblings

Thanks for all the hard work!

Losing 180% EWD is no big deal due to us already having generally between 1.5k - 2k

However, if you're not using Hwanin, the points in Flametail don't have many other homes either so might as well dunk them to pact.

Any tips on sustaining mana singletarget? Everything is fine until there is just one enemey(boss).

Got 52% manaleech, 212% mana regen and decent dmg/gear already. I don't think even doubling the manaleech would fix it. Widowmaker costs 704 mana.
