I know the Hack debate has been ongoing since Invoker was reworked. I'm not sure about the specific's, but Hack doesn't have "perfect" synergies with everything, but a worthwhile weapon none the less.
However Hack is nowhere near mandatory.
Neanderthal or Nailbiter, while being slightly slower, will provide some extra Thorn damage.
The Steed charge flail could also be beneficial.
Always remember, any 1.50 attack speed weapon will serve you very well!
Don't stress over finding the "right" weapon.
Don't forget, playing Invoker, always reroll the flat damage into something useful.
On a sidenote, Doombringer is a pretty decent weapon for this build. Fast (1.40) and 20% Increase Physical damage.
What armor piece are you guys cubing?
Thanks
Thank you.
wondering why str is primary attribute, wouldnt you want to focus on vit more? both toughness and thorns dmg from heart of iron?
Str is still better than vit. It increases your dmg, including thorns, better than vit thorns increase from HoI. It also gives armor.
have you tried using ring or royal grandeur in cube and then replacing bracers with vambracers. i feel like the damage is bigger than convention of elements but i havent tried it in the higher grifts. Would like to know if you tried it out at all.
You can't enchant AR on boots. So... what else should we get? Movement speed?
I use them this way... and i do pretty clean runs in torment 11-12 even with not so godly gear... so its working forme at least now i the mean time i get better gear
