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

Hey,

is this build viable for beginners?

I just started PoE and this build seems to be very interesting, so comes the question, is it able to build as first char without having something?
I suppose this is viable in normal games too right?

I play PoE since open Beta but I also recently started with a new Scion and I am searching for a good build. This build here looks good enough to me, nothing to fancy or complicated and it's tankiness should be good to support beginners. You may adjust some passive points, depending onto your gear (resists) and maybe some points depending onto your damage (weapon).
I will use this build for Domination league.
I'm 59, just finished Act 2 Merci and have been having decent success with this build. The biggest challenge has been maintaining decent gear while minding sockets. My gears starts to feel really outdated to maintain proper links. I will say though that I just got Cast on Damage Taken for cheap mid Act 2 Merci and it was a night and day difference, increased my survivability a ton. I highly recommend getting that combo early if possible.

So far I don't have MoM so don't have the mana regen nodes yet because I have more than enough mana with leech gems. Do you recommend picking up Mana Flows and the others above the Scion start before MoM? Will I have a really tough time if I pick up MoM first?

edit: Here is the build I just respecced a bit to. Is this enough mana regen to run MoM effectively?


edit 2: Did some testing with the new build there. Definitely need to chug mana pots when things get rough but definitely tankier now. I'm running level 3 clarity plus the mana reduction nodes I have there.

would it be wise to replace lmp with gmp instead? if no, why?

you can use gmp but you lose a little damage for 1 extra projectile.

looks good, but to me i want a huge mana pool for basically using it as a 2nd life pool. your build would work better maybe without MOM

looks good buddy. i found once you got eb with a tad es gear your mana pool is nice and "life like" heh. mana leach with ds and st are also a great way to keep your mana up.

Since this build does not use Resolute Technique, how do you solve accuracy problems? Or is there some sort of interaction with Spectral Throws where accuracy is not needed?

getting some accuracy rating on gear is really easy to do.. you can get up to 300 on your helm gloves rings amulet. so getting 100-150 on each is easy.
