Is it possible to follow this build exactly but not take blood magic and instead level a clarity aura to sustain spectral throw spamming?

That's what I'm doing, I probably wont take Blood Magic until the middle of Cruel.

I basically went Shaper (health regen makes normal super easy), IG, RT, Mana Flows (dropped the 40% regen next to scion base), Harrier, grabbing int as I went. I sidelined for Path of the Warrior, Blood Drinker, and health nodes as I felt it was appropriate. At 55 I now have Reaver and am finishing off Golem's Blood/Diamond Flesh before starting on all the axe-only nodes. I'm in softcore and haven't died once despite not really trying or unreasonably prioritizing health.

I've currently build to Iron Grip and a couple of Axe nodes. Do you think I should go for Scion 40% mana reg > Shaper > Mana Flows and then start building towards Resolute Techniques (and picking up Blood Drinker along the way for good measure), or should I go for Resolute Technique first and then do the above?

Love it! Thanks

I've got a very similar build, I would arguably say HC viable.
I'm running it on Nemisis atm, with few damage mods.

It's more focused to a tanky character, and end game will spec into marauder tree.

90 point build

104 point end game

I could probably do without Leather and steal / Iron reflexes, if I find really good gear.
Iron reflexes gives me a slight boost to armor.
I could also remove the top 5 nodes, depending how I feel without them.
If I remove these, I gain 12 additional nodes to spend where I want.

You are a little less gear depending this way, capping out resistances is always good.
You have to find a good weapon that deals 100-200 base damage, or more.
Recommended attack speed of 1.2 from base item.

You don't have to do axes. Build is flexible.
I used swords for a long time until I found a 200-300 damage axe.

Here is something I am playing with atm. Main post had no IR which this build really needs.

Lots of life for BM in HC.

Main atk will be ST+LMP+LoH+ele dmg.

Plenty of leftover points to boost damage to a specific weapon type or hit some other key nodes, this is just a base layout and im still tinkering.

I wanted to get catalyze area in but its a lot of pts out of the way.

if you can't afford a 5L yet isn't it better to go for weapon elemental damage over added fire? i tried both gems and WED gave my spectral more dmg

I am interested in what gems you use for weapon elemental dmg.

atm i am running Spectral Throw - LMP - Faster Projectiler - Added Fire DMG

So what are potential 5 or 6 link gems and are my choices ok?

Build im going for in Nemesis Mace based but could pretty easily change weapon based nodes. Any critique and better optimization would be nice.

Lol I just looted Tabula Rasa Simple Robes, I guess the six linked Spectral Throw is gonna come easy to me :D
