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

" Dj_Meltdown wrote: Pretty solid build. I've got it up to 67, but am struggling a bit with gear now. I can't get my resistances up with crafting new gear so far... I have found that I'm not using Bear Trap at all due to a lot of the monsters moving so fast in Merciless, I can't get my traps off fast enough with high latency & slow reflexes. I'm not that great at the game, so that's definitely a contributing factor :) I'll get there though with time. I like the 3 main skills, Spectral Throw, Double Stroke & Leap Slam. i never used bear trap in my build (i wasn't really following this one directly but used a similar one as a base). i found that my survivability in pure defense mode didn't change much from level ~70 to now but the DPS skyrocketed...this was because i was putting all my passives into defense first. the good/better offense becomes your good/better defense since you kill faster and leech more. i remember being ~67 and getting pissed at how slow i had to play. i could clear, say, the library...and much easier doing it solo, but it just took time. it'll pick up. also, finding a decent sword/weapon (either high dps or 5L with reasonable dps) is key to making the above happen.

In regard to that i have a question.. when your weapon is pure phys and most of your gear are asswell, isnt it kinda pointless take the +elemental dmg nodes.. instead taking that route i went up and took aura+\less mana conservation. Not sure if its the best option tho. As you get past the ele+ nodes theres some good hp nodes. Though on the otherhand not taking the route free up points where u could take other closer nodes elsewhere. Also i past up some of the mana nodes, and i have no problem with mana at all.. even with most of it reserved. All i needed was 1% manaleech. Additional info here is that i use kaom's which is a slow weapon. On the other hand if i were to get a really fast weapon i think mana issues would become overwhelming.

i realized i have been posting/responding a lot but didn't link my tree, so here it is: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAAAecDlgUtBu4JlhDwEuEUIBjbGlUb-h0mIWAj9iXfJyAppTGeMgkyfjQ1NZI26DpSOuE7KECgR35KfUrITeNOKlBHVvpYr1pIWlJbr2BDYEthIWMXZKNlTWegbEZsjW49bmluqnJsdO108XgNeu989YMJhNmE74dqh3aI8YoikGyXcJtdnrmfy6QZplenMKiaqW6plKvFrFmt5K-itfK-p8APwKbA88EH0k3TftRS137dDedj6wnuDu967_DyRfKX9778ifzF_gr-jw== gear is: Spoiler i have been using IIR (now 83% with newer hat) with culling strike on leap slam for bosses. or sometimes i swap gear and go up to ~300%IIR. amulet is semi-shit...just have it for lightning resist and some INT to run hatred. ideally i will find an amulet with life leech on it as well.

@Syben9 Why did you go for the weapon elemental damage nodes at the top (north of resolute technique). Isn't the build mainly phys dps? There's a couple other spots for more dps + health, so I don't see the value in going north of resolute. Just curious if I'm missing something about weapon ele, or something else.
