Use of ishi

[Gleichgewicht]

I red, that she is good. I do'nt see it.


Gem farming (Ring of regeneration)

Jarlaxle
Wall after 120 boss (Click lvl 120)
Jarlaxle (Lvl 490, +50% gold find)
Deekin (Lvl 90 for buff)

Ihsi
Wall after same 120 boss (with Click lvl 120)
Deekin (Lvl 90 for buffs)
Ishi (Lvl 350, +~250% gold find)
5 other Lvl 1 non human champions around her for gold buff

I I let it idle farm with 4 familiars, I wall at the same boss. Beat 120 but not the next boss. Why is +50% gold find and +250% gold find the same? Have 65,9t gold find.


Active play
Jarlaxle has no good support buff. Ishi has no good support buff. Stoki is the only one with Ki Strike as buffing ability. If I want one of them as 10th slot I would use stoki.

My summary i posted in another threat. Btw. Ishi is much better than Jarl. Have you placed Ishi next to as much non-humans as possible?

Her ultimate is indeed amazing, but the real chance get her cooldown item to an useful level need some/alot of realcash, timegates or blacksmithing contracts.
[sidenote] for me it would be 22sec duration /(3,2sec attack rate*2) every 5min c/d of fun (?!?)

After some testing in Grand Tour and ToA i´d put Ishi (epic "Let find some treasure") on par with Stoki (rare "Golden Palm"). Ishi´s goldfind is amazing but for the prize missing a DPS-buffer.

With Stoki i can push ~10 or more levels and golddrop goes on par.

Tested with Barrowwin+Strix = Slow, crushing blow kills. So either Stoki tagged almost all enemies or Ishi´s "Wait for it" was max.
All blessings maxed (unspend Torms= 6e11 // Kelms=4,6e12)
[edit2] @Psylisa I also noticed your Azaka/Ishi - goldgrind guide . But most of the players (me either) haven´t unlocked Azaka, yet

As I said. 5 non human heroes+deekin around her. max buff.

Ok, I have not tested her as DPS.

Lke I said. If I not doing something wrong its simple. Ishi does not push my gem farm wall further then jarlaxle. Yet, I have not tested time. May be, that I get with ishi a little faster to lvl 120.

when all you are using is the click damage you won't see much difference on progress from switching them purely because the cost to upgrade it scales up so quickly compard to how the damage scales next to enemies health levels that you will stall out anyway

[SPYcorp]

Sorry, missed you mentioned 5 non-humans. Its not the time for Ishi as DPS, yet. Need alot of cooldown and/or more non-human buffer.

If you just run a one shot formation (max 1-3 enemies on screen) probably Jarls is on par, too at your stage.

I grind at 250+ with slow AoE burst (Strix+Barrowin) every ~10sec, so Ishi "Wait for it" stack to max.

Ishi's gold find buffs, if maximized, are vastly, vastly greater than Jarlaxle. But they take a bit longer to get (roughly 20% longer). But the thing is, the curve at which gold amounts naturally increases, renders the gold amounts earned in the first 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the campaign completely moot. They won't even amount to 1% of your total earned. And that's if you don't farm at your wall. If you do, then it won't even amount to statistical noise.
