Iggy's Spectral Throw Build! Combines the best of ALL worlds. [SC/HC]

Im Level 38 now and starting Act 1 Cruel now.
This build works really good for now, but is it a good Endgame Build?

And what for stats need my Gear? And must I take Amour or ES?
Hi, I noticed you specced 2 handed, is that viable in nemesis/HC? I'm currently running 1h + shield, moving on from life nodes to dmg nodes, but I'm still unsure if I should go 2h or 1h
no its not viable.

you need to play 1hand and shield.

also this build has no real explanation about HC, there are some others about HC i recommend them.
Multitrap on BT is shit, you just use it for ST anyways.

@Etti
hi, thanks for posting your build, i started a ST scion yesterday and used your build for inspiration

when i and 2 fellow players thought about it we came up with this variation

basic idea is to pick up blood drinker, lava lash, the 2x 12% life nodes below and the third endurance charge passive by altering the way to RT and also picking up thick skin

i would really like to know your thoughts on it

Please don't declare things as factual when it isn't.

2handed is most certainly viable in HC/Nemesis. You just have to play with a bit more awareness, and perhaps grab a few extra HP nodes. The tradeoff obviously being you take more damage but you also kill faster.

I've came up with this Spectral Throw Scion build:



I think the advantages are:
- You can spec into Blood Magic if you want to
- Diamond Flesh for free
- Not wasting a point for grabbing the Endurance Charge at Templar
- Maximum Life +194% compared to +172% as in the OP build

It has a little less base hp and less attack speed, but with 7 less points used I still think it's good.

Also, grabbing the Wicked Blade and Blade Master clusters also improves for 1H swords. Which means I can use 1H untill I grab Wrecking Ball if I need to, right?

I'm wondering if the Duelist starting area really is so good. What's the main reason you go there?

Input on the build would be nice :)


you're also missing out on ~80% armor by not going into the duelist tree though, on top of missing the good 2h nodes going into the duelist tree
also not to rag on your build, but your life nodes are improperly placed. you have 1 in templar tree and 2 in the circle near scion that could be put into the 8/8/18% near wrecking ball. far better investment.
I'm running this build at level 31 atm. DPS is scaling well.
Someone mentioned they were having mana problems early on..
(ignore gems lol) 10 mana gained on kill will keep your mana pool full well into level 30

I'm planning on experimenting with projectile weakness curse on hit, if that works out I'll post results here
