Yes, the +20% adds on top of your FoT base damage, hence in you eg, the FoT damage will be 130%.

In short yes. +% elemental damage will stack. However, FoT bonus (via helm/amulet/ring) i.e say..you get 30% I think how its computed its a 30% add on to 110% FoT base attack, thus giving you 140% weapon damage. The + % elemental damage works differently,.say the eg above FoT 140% damage x5% extra = you get 147.5% and not 145%.

Therefore, +% elemental damage gives better boost. Anyone care to correct me on this?
*
bro, you are almost correct.

The WKL "Lightning skills deal 20% more damage" add to the skill itself, not the Weapon Damage, so your FoT should be 132%. If just add, your SW: Cyclone that deal 20% weapon damage will become 40% (crazy). So, with additional 20% damage, your Cyclone just deal 24% damage.

About the %element attacks, it is added to the Physical damage as +Min and +Max. Then only other skill add to it, much like +30 damage from ring. That is also why you can see the immediate DPS boost in inventory.

PS: just got home, FARMING TIME!

another video recording software is Dxtory, no limit in time. better quality and more control than bandicam and gameplay is smoother during recording. here is a video recorded with dxtory, 15 elites, 5 minutes (view in 720p brows.gif ):

just 2.9ls + 700 loh

feel like changing weapon already

Hey, that is a good LS+LoH. I recommend you keep it that way. Before you spend any Gold, do note that there are currently 2 identified bugs:

1. RD on minions is WAY high.
2. LS on Health Link is wrongly calculated only on 1 mob.

About Resolve Passive, if not mistaken, whatever you cannot dodge, you cannot resolved; this including desecrator, arcane, plague, molten and RD (no blue on this, just what i managed to gather from community).

EF is generally not good, make them run away from you...

Fish of Fury is gud (meow~)... but 1k DPS + socket is veli the expensive..

for cost concious consumer, i'd recommend high DPS (1.1k) 1-hand with socket + cri damage...

Shenlong set consist of 2 fist weapons:

- Shenlong's Fist of Legend
- Shenlong's Relentless Assault

Only when you found these 2, put them on your both Main and Off hand, you will master the secret technique of Master Shenlong:

"Your blows must flow from one to the next in an endless succession to overwhelm a superior foe"

I never do any Tempest Rush farming. But I want to try everything.

So, I try perma-tempest run. I can do this if I use MoH (Circular Breathing) and Northen Winds, but damage is too low, I think my farming is even slower.

Then I opt for semi Tempest Rush; Farm like usual, but only use TailWind to get to another point. Seem pretty fun, very fast. biggrin.gif

So I try this on MP1, can clear Core of Arreat (MP1) in 1 minute.

Just for fun...

You are right! Test on MP0, actually kind of fun.... wonder if can use this in PVP... can run real fast...



ps: somehow, i gota feeling i m not doing it right coz i m dual wield... ? i tried Skorn, but damage still not enough to kill most mob in 1 run... have to circle a bit... and when i stop, ohhh... the attack speeeeeed is unacceptable...

master waklu comment? user posted image

While you're doing the tempest rush build, you don't attack stuff, just run through them with tempest rush, and depending on how much crit you have, you either go for fire storm rune or cyclone. Also dual wielding means you need to have more spirit regeneration cause it drains much faster if you have higher attack speed, aka if you have 1.34 attack speed it will drain about 12/13 spirit per second.

What I do now is use Deadly Reach : Foresight rune to get the damage buff, then cast blind and then use the sweeping winds snapshot, most mobs die when I run through them, and use seven sided strike on elites to 1 shot them.

... just run thru them to kill them? ok. Thanks!

have you read the "Kitab Wajib Baca" my young apprentice?  flex.gif

4 piece Innas, 6SR regen from eqs, Foresight/Blind/SW:Cyclone/MoC:Submission/SSS are the most recomended setup for this to work.

Ask along my young ones, latuk will try to help hahahhaa

dafuq..i laugh myself out writing this..
*
already read... but not willing to spend any gold for this build coz i just wanna try it biggrin.gif

i only got like 2 spirit regen, so, in order to sustain perma-tempest, need to use "MoH: Circular Breathing"... =/ which making me weak, so need to run 2 round to kill mobs...

anyway, i get the idea biggrin.gif will figure something out without spending a dime! tongue.gif

thank you sifu!


Added on December 19, 2012, 12:17 amPoor-man Perma-Tempest... Mantra of Healing (Circular Breathing) + Sweeping Wind (Inner Storm)

Finally, I settle with this build, which I think most suitable for me:

Mantra of Healing - Circular Breathing
Sweeping Wind - Cyclone

Gimme more damage, higher chance to kill by just rushing thru... just need to find the next Elite before spirit slowly draining away. Although I have 9.25 spirit generation after buff.



Sorry too many post... thumbup.gif I just level up! This build is really fast in XP.... no kidding.

Basically u get the concept already, if u cant get 6SR from eqs, compensate it through skills. Actually 4SR should be enough. But use all 3 SR passives skill that generating spirit, Chant,Exalt and Path of the Guardian. And don't forget to use Templar for its passive regen.

Actually you can build TR set for less then 20M bro biggrin.gif
rightttt?? good timing ahahahhaha
*
Thanks! I was using Fleet Footed passive, I should change to Chant now. Give me another 2 spirit per seconds! Fleet Footed + Tailwind is too fast!

guys, here is some serious stuff. there are a couple of reason i want to try Tempest Rush build, and 1 of the reason is, i want to stop using OWE for awhile, at least until 1.07. I am doing it for the Jedi Monk Academy... read the story of "*The Nerf Hammer and The Wilson’s Anvil"

As promised. As away if you have any questions

Tempest Rush: Northern Breeze?

Tailwind too fast to pick up gold? I should try it too.

Your pickup radius is incredible.

Health Link Elites is bug at the moment...

Thanks for the video...

I got something idea to improve my Tempest Rush now...

131k DPS with WKL??? That's crazy!

Normally I would say 2.7 LS without LoH is not enough... but with that damage.... you tell me!

Other Tempest Run is getting 100M XP/hour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IexN0noGWcg&feature=plcp

My Poor-man version of Tempest Run is getting 56M XP/hour. Mainly because I don't have complete Inna set, so I need some pit stop to re-cast SW, actually I am getting a hang on it. tongue.gif

Thank you all, especially the master of Tempest Rush; Master waklu notworthy.gif



PS: no change in any gear, except to Skorn (got from drop long time ago). most spirit generator is from Skill. nod.gif
PSS: Total gold needed to do Tempest Run? 0. Muahahah! You guys should try it. Drop OWE for awhile.
