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

"

Yep as Kiszh kindly replied, you go for 'way of the poacher', 'avatar of the slaughter' and 'rapid assault'

"

You raise some good questions, I'll answer them one by one.

1. Since we use Hatred and Added Fire, we have 80% of physical damage added as elemental along with Herald of Ice, which means nearly half our damage is elemental, so WED provides half its bonuses. This means that WED is a 30% more multiplier to our damage. I'm not sure how significant the crit multi gem is, but I think WED would generally be the best option for a 6L.

2. I would probably keep Starkonja, for the 100 flat life which is pretty huge and provides a major defensive boost. Rat's Nest gives us an additional 50% crit chance which is worth around 2 nodes, while 100 life is equivalent to around 15% increased life (3 nodes). A lot of people use Rat's nest for the bonus movement speed, but it is not necessary for our character.

Skyforth is an extremely luxury option, but to be honest I'm not sure about giving up our 3.6% life regen, since that makes bloodrage kinda hard to sustain. But that decision lies with you if you can obtain a Skyforth's.

3. Yeah my golem dies often too and it's quite annoying. Once you level it higher and get quality on it, the golem will get tankier. You can also link it with minion life, but we're pretty starved for sockets.

4. Definitely, try and get a taste of hate and Atziri's promise as they provide major DPS boosts and survivability (although ToH is pretty expensive).

Hmm that is an interesting approach to spectral throw and your DPS is definitely pretty good atm. I like your video too!

I don't deliberately take the block nodes, but just path through them since they provide some nice damage boosts as well.

The choice between sniper and ballistic mastery is kinda tricky, since if we take one, we don't need the other. We generally want to have 30% projectile speed. If you can get a jewel with projectile speed, I suggest taking Sniper, but if you can't, then stick to using Ballistic Mastery.

I thought about taking the power charge, but it takes 2 nodes, so it becomes 25% crit chance per node. And our power charge generation is not 100% reliable so I decided against it, but if it works for you that's cool too.

Good luck with your build!
