Isn't Pain Enhancer kind of negligable at higher GRs or is the damage still substantial? I'm not sure if I'd want the attackspeed either, could potentially lead to fury shortage. Defensive gems seem to be unnecessary, I wonder if Bane of the Powerful / Toxic gem would lead to more DPS than Pain Enhancer.
Well, Pain enhancer deals a percentage of damage based on your weapon damage so it's scaling with your damage therefore there is no such thing as "kind of negligable at higher GRs".
It's doing physical damage so that gets boosted by your soj, bracers and amulet.
Dust devils now scale with attack speed so the ias from PE is probably really good. Might even be better than bott / taeguk but i doubt it. I think it's safe to say that PE is a solid 3rd gem. I need to test how attack speed scales with dust devils though so don't take my word for it.
BOP is good but in a perfect rift you don't even have elites so the bop uptime won't be that high in an ideal rift anyway so i don't know.
Also, more ias will not cause you to run out of fury if you are running the ancient's fury rune on cota.
Bane of the trapped and Taeguk because my hf amulet doesn't have a socket. I would probably go for Pain enhancer as third because the whole build revolves around physical damage.
have you teste 5xWW and 3x IK? if yes is it better or worse than the 5xIK 3xWW?
I'm not Mannercookie but i tested 6p WW with 4p IK and it's quite a powerful combo. I cleared solo 50 without dying once because i went for the life steal rune on rend and the life steal rune on ww. That, along with 40% dmg reduction from the WW set and full (81) taeguk stacks obviously with unity just gives you so much toughness. Perma wotb with the WW set dust devils is awesome.
Pretty sure i can go higher to like 55 (maybe even more) with some good rng. On 50 i could facetank blighter, including all of his ground aoe and melee attacks.
