[2.4] Bino's Budget Spectral Throw. Insane 85k DPS, Clear Speed and Defense!

Alright, going to stick it out. Thank you for the advice.

Today I hit 90, so as promised I will leave a feedback.

Unfortunately I didn't buy an evasion chest when I had the chance( was so cheap and I'm an idiot) so I'm stuck with the only 6L I had for now. On the other side I've upgraded to a 280~pdps dagger. Is worth every currency I paid for. I lost some crit chance but that dmg and attacks speed gained can't compare with bino.

Here is my current eq. ( needs upgrade but that's what I got atm):



I took "Sniper" nod as well and I need 3 more levels to get the last 2 jewel slots.
I don't see the point of using Enfeeble as you will cast Assasin straight away as you hit. Also I prefer IC over Tempest. ( saved me a lot of times from RIP).
I use Vaal Grace atm, but I think I'll change to Vaal Clarity. Or I could put the Golemn in weapon and use ID in shield. ( However I don't think is worth spending almost 1ex in chroms to get RRR on that shield)
I have both LMP and GMP.. in open maps, ( Arid, Gorge, etc) GMP is much faster imo. Hoever If I would do maps with lots of rares,unique mobs.. I'd go LMP as it has better dmg and focus. I also use Faster projectiles for single target.



Atm. I have a maximum of 8 frenzy charges and 1 jewel.
4.1~K hp/10k evasion/90~ res (in town)

Stats with max charges/ToH/Rampage/Onslaught ( I actually hit90k+ when Daresso procs but I did not manage to sync everything for a screenshot) **** note my gems are not fully leveled or all with quality.


Now the feedback:

My investment so far is about 20ex+ (self found rings/belt and self leveled gems)

+ good damage and clearing speed.
+ very fun to play
+ for my 4.1k hp, quite tanky. ( after lvl 85 I died maybe like 4 times. 1 reflect, rest cause of lag)
+ It will work even with cheap low gear, but ofc will lack in clearing speed and will not hit t10+

- really hard to cap crit chance without investing a lot of currency in gg items/jewels, and even so I doubt it will cap. ( my next 2 jewels will prob be focused on crit chance)
- starts slow until you get all the charges up. If you don't run fast..you loose the momentum
- lacks in single target damage. Mele setup works but you risk getting hit. I've only played mele chars so far so I prefer to stay range.
- sometimes vs single target runs out of mana if use range setup. ( even if i swap with leach ring)
- unless u use mirrored dagger, you'll never solo clear a party map.


Overall I think is a solid build, and superior to elemental, but more expensive. However ES LL will always be better. But with about 10X cost.

So far I only did T11 the highest. I'd prefer to get all jewels before trying t12-15 or atziri.

After I will hit 93 and get my jewel nods I will start testing the following:

swap WeD/Added Fire with Blood Magic in 6L and run :

Hatred + HoI + HoA + Enlighten - Helm
HoT + Enlighten + CoH + Assasin Mark - Gloves

Would that still work as it used to with Reduced Mana gem? ( I haven't calculated yet)

You exclude close combat, never run out of mana. Also free the mana leach passive nod. And swap GMP with Faster Projectiles for single target.

@alecs87

Oh wow, thanks for all the great feedback.

Really nice gear, love the dagger. Life is a little low, but it should be fine. DPS is also really high as well.

I don't think the HoA + HoT setup will work sadly. You would need 2× lvl 4 enlightens and 12% reduced mana reservation to fit all those auras in. This will be really expensive.

Anywayw good luck with the build.

Np. Indeed my life is a bit low.. that 100life on helm is a big trade for extra crit. However life on my rings/amu is pretty low. 70+hp ones, and 100life chest + 2 more jwls with 7%hp should give a decent boost on the way to 5K.

And yes, I've made the sum and indeed setup is not viable anymore.. It would be cheaper to buy a better dagger than 2 x lvl4 Enligh. and prob better damage in the end.

If I find something interested and beneficial changes I'll let you know. Atm I'm working on enchants. I think that 12% speed on boots would be nice. However I will keep mana/life leach for now.

Is this a viable alt shield until i come across a better rare?

@alecs87

ah k, let me know if you find any changes.

@billy393

yep that shield is pretty good. You can use it until you find a better one.

Thanks for that. Just made it to Dried lake solo at LVL 66.

Gear so far :



I will be using these when i hit 69 :




Only getting about 7-8k dps with charges atm but my tree still needs alot of work and my gems are poor qualities and levels.

I found these great for leveling with spectral throw :

Hello, i'm kinda new in PoE and i'm doing your build but i wonder how you get your mana ? i see you spamming your spells but without loosing a lot of mana and you only have 0.4 mana leech nodes, is that really enought ? :o

@bill393

Nice work man, keep it up.

@clarove

Yep 0.4% mana leech node is really all we need for this build. Later on our dps will be really high, so we leech a lot.

Just hit 100,000 views. Thanks everyone!!
