[3.3]Elemental spectral throw pathfinder, good endgame and maps farmer

I'm trying this out because i always wanted to do a spectral throw build. it was smooth sailing until about level 62. the damage really fell off it seems. hopefully it doesnt last too long
Where do the endurance charges come from for immortal call?

I feel that the drop in life is a massive hit though, I'm guessing your life wouldn't be above 5k with all those Abyss setups.

its just that, 5k life, although I can change 4 more standart to abyss jewels and gain like at least 500 more, then I can get 120 flat life more on my rings which will net me another 400? So you can get like ~5800 life with that setup. I don't think its needed though.


I love experimenting but just playing with POB, I feel it's just a flat downgrade. DPS and Life take a hit for me, the 6L setup with lvl 20 elemental penetration swapped in for 20/20 elemental focus is just a flat downgrade.

I can see it being faster for mapping but I'm just not feeling it as an all rounder.

Use Imperial Claws, search for the ones with >2 aps.

With 40 life on each abyss gems, ur life should easily be higher, dps should be higher as well with lightning damage to attack or claw attacks on your gems, the only problem is balancing your res with just 2 rings/ 1 neck and maybe 1 belt

How do you get power charge? Elemental focus does not give you charges from (curse on hit-herald of thunder-assasin mark)


Poacher mark is just too good to change. I'm not using anything for power charges and I don't feel that I need to either.

Transitioned my gear to full abyss set as well, map clearing is a lot more smoother now.
2 issues i noticed, using the abyss helm means that u can no longer run physical reflect map, only able to get either frenzy or power charges with helm right now since i am not using orb of storms anymore, thinking of either changing ascendancy into raider or using orb of storms again, any thoughts guys?

For phys reflect maps you can change back to your Starkonja.
I'm not using anything for power charges and I don't feel that I need to either.
Poacher's mark is too good to change for assassin's mark.
If you can get +1 curse amulet then maybe you can get assassin's mark too but without that I just don't see how to make it work and be able to get both power and frenzy charges



I ended up putting curse on hit and assassin's mark on helm for power charge and using blood rage for frenzy charge. Working well so far, just not very practical to use bloodrage for bossing

I love experimenting but just playing with POB, I feel it's just a flat downgrade. DPS and Life take a hit for me, the 6L setup with lvl 20 elemental penetration swapped in for 20/20 elemental focus is just a flat downgrade.

PoB does not recognize the elemental penetration (-27% lightning) which is almost the dmg that elemental focus gives you. I know it looks like a downgrade in PoB but my mapping is alot smoother and bossing is pretty much the same if not a bit faster, also the shade form from the chest is very nice

seems they start at level 68. I'll swap to once once I get there for sure. thanks
wouldn't "The Taming Prismatic Ring" a good choice for the build too?

I just wanted to personally thank you for saving this build for me. I was struggling big time in T14's, but it's going a lot better with your setup from your character sheet. I appreciate it. Next stop Shroud chest!
Do you think a 5L Shroud outperforms a 6L Belly, in terms of survival?
