1.1 Updated [HC/Inv] EB/MoM/AA SuperTank Spectral Throw (Works with Mjölner!!Tested!)

Just kind of a general question maybe, why double strike over heavy strike? Heavy does more dmg, I think? Just a matter of preference or socket color? Or is there something I'm not seeing (other than heavy strike + multistrike sucks).

I was using heavy strike through all of normal, just switched to double strike in cruel.

Hi OP, can I ask how many damage you can afford with this build?

thank's in advance!

Hi OP, thanks for the great build.
I just started a char with it in invasion after my first 2 chars died horribly deaths with other builds.
Did you consider going deeper in the Marauder Starting area? I am speaking about Diamond Skin, all the life+armor notes, Heart of the Warrior and Warriors blood, maybe as a replacement for the weaker Scion life wheel? If you concidered it, what made yu dismiss it?
Thanks again!

Thanks for the guide, right what I was looking for :)

When you take "blood drinker", there are now, 3 "6% max life 6% armour", you can pick 2 of them instead of the "6% max life" near the scion starting area.

Free armour is always nice.

i personally like ds more than hs. you can use any single target you want to, its up to you

dont really understand what you are asking but im interpreting it as can you add more damage to the build?.. yes you can! you can sacrifice life/armor to get more damage nodes like the mace/staff or axe/sword nodes if you choose. i leave this option open for you to decide.

i have not looked into that mostly because of the point cost to get to those areas. you will sacrifice something to get there and for this build you cannot sacrifice any mana regen nodes and i think that is where the extra points would have to come from. but i will look into it!

i will look into that as well as other areas of mara to adjust for the lacking nodes in the scion wheel

ty for pointing it out!

Could this build be used to MF Piety or would it be too weak with the restricted item choices?

I imagine it could be done. Use a really good weap then swap to the mf 2h plus having all ur other mf gear on

Hi great build!!

Would this build be viable In the Invasions League.

I was really looking for a ranged tanky dps.

Also would double strike be more viable thank heavy strike for single target dps ie bosses/ rares?

Would +20% ST make a big difference?

Is the new Vaal Spectral Throw any good?

Really interested!! Thanks!!

I'm slightly confused by the Aura link's description compared to your gear. You say to run max level Clarity as well as Discipline/Grace/Hatred. However, you seem to be running Haste, Purity of Elements and level 4 Clarity.

What auras would you say are overall the most effective?
