Dan's Scion
Before I wore a dream fragments ring, I did use a dispel frozen affix. However, this one time, I was in a map where mobs dealt +96% cold damage, and there was a rare mob group with additional critical strikes that would freeze me the moment they charged to me and hit me. You can only dispel frozen a couple of times before you're out of it.

" There is no way I would be able to survive longer than 2 seconds a 77-78 map? Bro, I eat shrine piety for breakfast on any map that isn't -max resists. Same with dominus on a 78. I think you need to take your jealousy elsewhere. When you're capable of making 10-15 exalts in a day, you can acquire wealth without buying currency. I've been playing this game a lot longer than you think I have. Also, let me point out to you, that the whole point of this build is for it to be the pinnacle of what spectral throw is capable of as in a build that encompasses duality between survivability and dps. This has never been a build for starters to go on. I personally had a marauder, then a ranger, then a witch, then a duelist, before I finally acquired the currency to make a crit-based spectral throw, and then once i was able to afford crown of eyes as well, that's when I got around to getting to this point. Just a month ago, I wasn't running pain attunement with crown of eyes, and my dps was around 20k. If you're going to talk about other people with similar items hitting 200k; I'm sorry, but single-target dps doesn't count there. I don't give a crap if someone is hittting 400-500k with flicker strike while they dual-wield two mirrored daggers- that's not the point of this build.

yet again you are wrong, the same flask could roll charges on crit, which with your build would mean permanent on time for that flask.
And again as well, there's is literally only one build in this game, that can solo multiple proj piety of dominus reliably. o n e. And that is aegis high armour high es high duo block chances. That's it breakfast boy, nothing else can solo them in this game. Before claiming so, make a video with your build with diplay of your stats and gear, without video gaps, where you solo it from the begining to the end. On your guide's video, you were doing merciless dominus, and even that hit you noticeably hard. There is just plain no way in hell, that your build experiences no trouble on 77 piety and 78 dominus. And about making 10-15 exalts a day, yet again you are wrong. That's just plain impossible unless you were flipping items on trade channel all day long non stop. Watch streams of actual good players that have an idea in this game, and check how much currency they have after months of daily playing, and than get an idea what's possible and what's not. And also by this point i think we all have figured out you as a lier haven't we? 10-15 ex a day, best build in game bla bla? You listing having played every class by their order was quite a funny part though i liked it. Btw anyone can check your account and see you only have one character, how much do you think i'd bet you first made a witch/shadow dual spark totem and some of the parts of your gear, which than got nerfed so you deleted it in anger and made a new one this? ;) Last edited by Ashkatar#5072 on Dec 1, 2013, 4:01:27 PM

" It's funny because just yesterday I did solo dominus on a multiple projectiles map. As long as it's not -max resists, you can out-lifesteal him any day. Did you not see the video where I soloed -max resist dominus on residence? Palace dominus isn't much difference; Residence dominus with -max resists is harder than palace dominus without -max resists... |

" not permanent, it's very easy to run out of heat flask in crucial fight such as Piety in ice form or even Waste pool double boss. Before you say let's use 2 flasks, let me take it a step further and say 2 heat flasks look just bad for someone who's trying to maximize his character's efficiency. It's no secret that Dream frag is one of the most sought after uniques in game so I don't really understand why you have a personal vendetta to OP for using one. You really don't have any idea how much currency one can make if he achieves the highest level of damage and MF. 10-15 ex a day sounds about right. @Dan: all I'm saying is you should give it 5 regrets and see if there's any difference.

I frankly couldn't care less about the OP personally, i just hate the way he puts forward his build. He claims it as "best", without even defining what he means by that. As i pointed out, it's incredibly cost inefficient, as well as leveling would be a complete nightmare. Most people reading this forums, will be new players looking for "best" solutions, because we all know how easy it is to get lost in this game for a new player. Of course he will click on this thread, and of course he'll bite it and try making one himself and than rq. I just think the op should wipe the whole "best build in game spectral throw har har" points out, because they'r just void. And two he should add, incredibly expensive/hard time lvling/no point in having one kind of build about 10 times to make sure people understand.
And again as i said, a flask can have both cleanse freeze and charge on crit, with his build that would mean endless charges. single target or not. Last edited by Ashkatar#5072 on Dec 1, 2013, 4:05:42 PM

" Hey I actually did look into it, and I realized that it was possible to gain about 800-900 more ES in total, depending on your items and whatnot (mine are less ES than your MF items, since I'm focusing more on the damage modifiers). Overall though, I think against certain mob packs like rhoas, and bosses like magaera, it's just really nice having the knowledge that you're not going to die to random stuns. As most players who have played hundreds of hours understand, deaths usually occur because of something you don't expect, and the chance of a stun is something that can always kill you at an opportune time against really hard bosses (I sometimes like to challenge myself by trying to kill magaera on -max resist maps, for example, but would not have a CHANCE if I didn't have stun immunity) |

" You need to crit about 20 times to refill one use. 20 crits take 4-5 seconds to occur (if all your attacks are crits). You're telling me that you have 4-5 seconds in between merveil hits, or added cold + crit chance hits, to keep firing? No. You dispel frozen, get frozen again. THen you dispel frozen, and whoops! you're out of dispel frozen and are still perma-frozen. Last edited by biggerboom#7872 on Dec 1, 2013, 4:10:50 PM

" First off, you're wrong. A mana flask consumes 20 charges per use. Each critical strike against a boss gives you 1 charge. That means in order to have endless charges against boss, you have to be able to attack him 20 times by the time he fires off another ice shot. That is simply undoable. If you're doing double ice boss, you're dead or alt f4. Note that ice attacks from high level map bosses have a 80% chance to freeze a 1000 HP character. That is the truth. Secondly, how do you know that this build doesn't work without godly gear? Have you actually tried and failed? Or have you heard from somebody who did? I understand the OP did show off his gear, but who doesn't? Should he have to buy crappy gear so that he can write a guide without getting attacked as an expensive but inefficient build? I think common sense is post what you have. Standard IGN: WTFNamesAllTaken.

A friend of mine is doing a build inspired by mine, but starting from the witch tree. He's going CI because he cannot afford 6L Shavs + Crown of eyes atm, but he has more ES than me as a result of that decision, and has about 23k tooltip dps. That 23k tooltip dps is still good enough to be able to decimate mobs in an AOE. In addition, he runs a 4L frenzy that does about 105k dps, and he uses that against bosses. I personally don't use a single-target skill, but if I did, I would run double strike or frenzy and do about ~150-200k dps. It's mostly a personal preference of mine to do all my dps, even single-target, using my main ability, because I feel more flexible doing so.
