Iggy's Spectral Throw Build! Combines the best of ALL worlds. [SC/HC]
" Thank you! So many people complaining about mana when it's stupid easy to improve your mana on your leveling gear. |

right now, im running RT but eventually i feel like i will spec out of it. Does not seem worth respeccing at the moment at 30ish because there is always problems of hitting mobs at low levels so it definitely helps in that regard. Right now im moving towards Iron Grip at level 35 and then will see where to head to from there. Probably into the duelist tree. Right now, my main issue is mana. Popping pots constantly. At Low level, churn through mana so quickly. Need to sort the problem out asap.

" The problem is your build. You don't have Resolute Technique (RT). You don't have enough Dex/accuracy to compensate for not having RT. You don't have enough attack speed nodes. You wasted 20 skill points on travel nodes that are not Str nodes. That right there is 200 Str you don't have, which is 100 life you don't have to be boosted by your % life nodes, and also damage you don't have being applied to Iron Grip.

@iggy4mayor : since english isn't my native-born language, I believe I gave a wrong opinion on "how to read it". I forgot to link my build, which led to misunderstanding.
I wasn't criticizing your build, but mine, that yours inspired (two days after release). I clearly KNOW that I have trouble, but not with DPS. Even if it's quite low I must admit. I am PERFECTLY fine with getting stomped by Dominus, I just didn't think it would be that hard. However, as I told, I'm perfectly fine with it. This is an end boss, I was 68, I had trouble surviving that tower, that's okay. :) I'm playing self-loot. This means I've a lot of trashy gear. My problem IS the beefy/tanky part. Hell I'm beefy, I have armour + hp. But I'm not tanky. I can't stand in the middle of a fight with a HP based build + 55 to 75 @res. Now, I'm clearly interested in your NEW build, even if I don't understand why some things and why not others (Lava Lash + Catalyse are for added fire dmg + hatred I believe, are those worth the trouble to get them ?). Let's start on the right foot again. My apologies if I offended you. ;) Last edited by Revehn#3003 on Oct 29, 2013, 7:43:51 AM

Hello Iggy,
I using an other Guide:

My current Skilltree right now is this:

Its a bit different from your Build. Im not a "Pro" and just want to make a good Build to farm Docks and maybe higher Areas if I have the Gear. So my question is.. should I stay in the other Build or is it better to change to your Build? Or both Build nearly the same? |

" A 68 point build... I'd do this: If you don't like the 8% mana nodes at the top, left of the Scion start, then link the Shaper node via the Strength node and spec out of the 8% mana nodes. If you don't need mana, this will save you a couple of points. Last edited by Galtrovan#5344 on Oct 29, 2013, 8:11:56 AM

" Im lvl 67 and have similar stats as you, except that i have less HP and 1300DPS ST with LMP + faster atk (no fire dmg). and I have 4700dps with double strike. I personally dun think ST with 1300 DPS at this stage is bad. In fact, I kill fast enough. And I am tanky against blue pack + unique. 1. turn on grace if you have iron reflexes, or get reduced mana to have both hatred+grace / grace+determination. That will boost armor to 7k+ and dmg reduction to around 65%. 2. get a cast on dmg taken gem, link with enduring cry + warlock's mark. Facing a large pack, you have +12%dmg reduction & all resist, plus life & mana leech. ST as a strong AOE helps you keep life & mana full. As for bosses, I dun think the build (at lvl 68) allows you to face tanking bosses' power attack. (maybe at a higher lvl? not sure Im new to this game). |

What is the gear progression for the beginning, mid, and end game for this build? Is it just the same armor, health and resists trend as usual or do I need to look for anything specific?

" I think Rev was saying his OWN build was weak, not yours! Seems like a bit of a mis-communication both ways between you guys. I wanted to ask what you think about how easy it would be to adapt this build for a Claw+Shield or even dual-claw build? The life leech of the claw attacks is a heck of a lot of fun, but I assume you'd need to make changes due to the increased cast speed (mana use) and smaller area of effect (adapt targetting?) |

One question that i dont understand is why picking IR.
A level 20 grace gives us 2k evasion (so armor). A level 20 determination gives us 50% of our armor, so, with 4200 armor (something that i think that its easily attainable) it gives us the same armor as grace. So, the more armor we get after these 4200, the better determination gets. In fact, if we are a str user, it may be difficult to have enought dexterty to raise grace to level 20. So, if we have no plan of running grace (with IR) + determination together (and having no mana/damage aura at all), i dont see why to pick IR as a STR user and not spending these pasive points into more life nodes. In addition we could save the points wasted on the way to wrecking ball and spend them on specific weapon nodes maybe. Editing: and, about catalyse cluster, does it really worth the points? if we are running added fire damage, that adds 40% phys damage as fre damage, catalyse will boost this 40% fire damage by another 40%, that is 0,4*0,4 = 16% damage increase for three points (a bit more if we use a damage aura but it depends on the above posted) IGN: GiveMeEpix(i may be AFK) or SpectralAxeThrower PM me if i dont answer you Last edited by Legebril#6371 on Oct 29, 2013, 12:01:19 PM
