Description

Brainstorming here.

Your merc probably has might aura and wields Pride.

You saw everyone flock to Breath of the Dying
Thunder Maul
(big number go bigger).
Then everyone was like we should all go for Doom instead (freeze + crit + 2 skills). Also in
Thunder Maul
.

The above needs to get all the FCR it can get to reach 75 FCR.
People realized Fortitude might be ok instead with 25 base fcr and damage still big enough to stomp in p8. But wait, you are spending mana like a choo-choo train on steroids.

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but is the BiS actually ye olde Insight? 35 FCR, whoppping +6 crit which gets upped by all + All skills gear and solves any and all mana problems.
For your bound demon, cursed is a no-brainer,
Fanaticism
helps your merc and gives you 118% off-weapon ED.

Did we go in a circle in terms of rarity of the weapon only for bagholders to hold their own bags? Sell into the feeding frenzy is my take. Buy Insight.

My warlock is currently level 42 rocking an

Halberd
Insight 17/249/4 that I use to put on merc when leveling new chars.

Skill points not optimal, spent all in demon tree before level 25, no respec yet, but now have 1.4k damage with 2 echoes and he obliterates everything

Can you imagine
Eth
. CV Insight becoming BIS mainhand weapon? What a time to be alive

If you offer what I ask for, you can add me on bnet for faster trade.

I have all the 2hander quee mentioned, those provide about 7-10K more damage to my
Eth
col
Voulge
Insight, but lacking the 75fcr does slow down my farming abit, after all, all mobs die instantly so that 7-10k extra dmg for echoing strike doesnt really mattet atm…

Until i get a 2/20 ammy, 2/20
Helm
, i will stick with Insight for echoing strike for sure :)

Can trade on PC or SWITCH

Does Echoing Strike scale with FCR rather than IAS? That would be rather unexpected, but I suppose is is obvious it "attacks" at a different rate than a plain Attack does...

That's exactly it, it's physical damage based on FCR. The word on the street is it should be changed, somehow. To be less OP.
Also why the biggest baddest weapon trumps all other fast bases.

I would have expected it to be based on IAS, as Mirrored Blades seems to be. That really does seem to cram a little too much into Echoing Strike's favor, considering the handful of high-profile 1.10 runewords that casually toss IAS onto gear otherwise targeted at melee combatants...

Also, I assume this complete disregard for attack speed would make an Ethereal Death
Decapitator
a solid choice for a Echoing Strike 'lock.

Crushing blow doesn't apply to Echoing Strike, so no Death decaps, no Last Wish mauls. Only Crit/Deadly Strike does.

That is very surprising to learn! Do we know if Deadly Strike, Open Wounds, or even Levitation Mastery's
Critical Strike
chance apply?

Levitation does get added to whatever crit+deadly you already have.
Open wounds, crushing blow, slows target, knockback, nothing applies.

Physical FCR based attack with no AR tied to it.

Crushing blow should be applying to mirrored blades though. That one is for ubers.
