What Not to Pair with Ethereal Weapon

Bad augment synergies and pairings to avoid

Avoid

Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Slow and Steady

Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady sets your attack speed to a static 0.625 and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. Ethereal Weapon applies on-hit effects through abilities, but the complete loss of attack speed scaling severely limits your overall damage output and on-hit trigger potential.

Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Double Tap

Avoid this pairing because Double Tap applies on-hit effects an additional time on critical strikes, but Ethereal Weapon already applies on-hit effects through abilities with a 1 second cooldown per target. The critical strike on-hit application becomes largely redundant since ability-based on-hit triggers are already available.

Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Typhoon

Avoid this pairing because Typhoon triggers on basic attacks to launch Firecrackers that apply on-hit effects. Ethereal Weapon's ability-based on-hit application has a 1 second per-target cooldown, making the additional on-hit trigger from Typhoon's passive largely redundant and offering minimal extra value.

Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Twice Thrice

Avoid this pairing because Twice Thrice applies on-hit effects again at 150% effectiveness on every third basic attack. Ethereal Weapon already enables on-hit application through abilities, making the additional basic attack on-hit stacking mechanism redundant and an inefficient use of an augment slot.
