using cast on crit with fireball and lmp. I am over 60% crit on both gem and freezing pulse but I haven't seen one fireball come out. I ran docks 3 times as a test.

Well, what attack skill are you using as the Critter to activate the Spells Fireball and Freezing Pulse?

Anyone know why i can't use Leap Slam to proc the criticals to cast the spells?

Leap Slam description leads me to believe this should work.

Edit: My bad i'm an idiot
Requires Axe, Mace, Sword, Staff >.>

LOL at all the wanna be devs in this thread, in the begining people are saying Cast on Crit is underpowered and then someone cracks the code and now everyones screaming nerf and they have to put their 2 cents in on how things should be. Is that hater I smell? You watch the videos and all you see is the end result of hours of hard work and planning. Coming from someone who has actually tried putting one of these builds together, getting to the end result is a lot harder than it looks. All these builds are incredably mana intensive,(I have a Dual Dagger Cyclone EK/Arc Shadow) painful to level untill you get just the right daggers and some levels on your gems, basicly require you to have a 6L to make them be totally effective and also require you to have some really specific gear. If you don't believe me, try finding high I/Level Copper Kris' with max crit, mana regen, spell damage and no phys rolls on trade chat, they aren't the sort of things vendors just keep around. Also, with things like Malegaros and Rat's Nest being basicly manditory for the build your going to need a ton of Magic resist on very few other items or your going to be no where near max resists by end game. To top it all off my build is a melee build, and hellishly desyncy as well, which means while I'm doing work I could desynch and die at the drop of a hat. Cry nerf all you want while your playing your boring assed LA/Lionseye rangers and dual sporkers and leave my fun as hell build alone. Sound like yall are just butthurt you didn't think of it yourself. Chris if you're reading this for what ever reason, I will litterally give you 50$ if you don't touch a god damned thing, this is the most fun I've had in an ARPG ever.

New favorite set up .

Anyone thought of simulating Charged strike from Diablo 2,shame there are no spear weapons though.

Lightning Strike + Staff weapon? Pretty same idea, and viable combination.

As for mendatory 6L, I do not agree.
Of course, any build would benefit 6L, worst case getting IR and IQ on top of a 4L build, BUT
I currently am running a Frenzy + LMP + COC + Ice Spear.
It's insane for CC and helps a lot in maps. COC with LMP will also proc the Ice Spear as LMP on all critted targets, which means that I can proc 3 x 3 ice spears on a single crit.
This is not to mention items that come with a special effect(read additional L here) such as increased area of effect.
Is it op? Meh, I don't think so. There are hundreds of builds out there pulling over 10K dps, but as for myself, I build around not getting reflected in HC so, going 40K DPS with 1K hp is not my forte.
If you want it to be efficient and safe, you have to max out the res on your procced spells, have a decent amount of HP(in HC, decent means a LOT) and increased crit chance a lot.

Then finally, I do not want to proc 25 spells in a sec, because it would freeze my comp and lead to RIP. I don't like to RIP.

Could anyone tell me how the quality of this gem works?
Does the quality only affects the CoC gem and what it triggers? Or does it also apply to the linked main attack skill, for instance spectral throw/cyclone?

Obviously, quality bonus applies to ALL aspects of ALL supported skills. Both spells and attacks will have increased crit chance.

Just for the reference, my current link setup that obliterates almost any map pack within 1-3 seconds with the help of Elemental Equilibrium and Critical Weakness. Not viable for HC though: ONE crit against lightning thorns = rip, plus huge fps drop.

PS. Replacing Concentrated Effect with Knockback is funny, tsunami sweeps everything off screen, Oak leap slams backwards, not to mention poor creatures like Great White Beast :D
