That was at least the last time I read a lot about it and heard reactions from people playing it. I guess the hype died down a little since then. How big is the player base compared to a year ago? 26k peak today on steam, don't know how many % of players are playing on steam though | ||

I'm playing on the new softcore league, and I'm noticing some nice changes. Less HP nodes, more hp per level, and hp merged with damage and armor. | ||

The nodes the other throwers are using are "% phsyical dmg increased with (2handers/daggers/swords whatever). The melee ones don't scale at all. I had heard that the dev for the game said there are at least as many not using steam to play. | ||

-IR +Unwavering available to us. -BM -Defensive/Offensive side to Marauder tree -Multitude of 2H and Weapon nodes. -Going up north to Ranger+Shadow I can only assume end-game will be all your skills linked to BM gem, and then find a 10% reservation node and run 2 auras for 100% mana consumption. Wherein you will spec out of those mana nodes in the Duelist tree. It'll be down to going up north to Marauder+Temp tree vs Ranger+SHadow side. Both seem more than viable. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABAdwB5wUtFCAb-iXfMZ4yCTJ-NZI26DpSQKBHfkrITeNOKlBHVvpYr1pSW69gS2EhZU1qk2xGbmluqnJsdO14DXrvfPWE2YTvh2qI8YoikGybXZ65pBmmV6cwqJqpbqmUrFm18rZBvoq-p8APwKbA88S40k3V7dX43Q3yl_e-_MX-jw== | ||

If you go towards marauder and then up to templar I feel like you have better selection on weapon-specific nodes, easier access to hp, more STR for your iron grip, and easier access to "the best notable on the tree" aka Purity of Flesh. Plus resolute technique and extra endurance charges if you want them. IR is only good if you can run grace now IMO, which is tough considering aura costs, and in general the duelist section of the tree just doesn't feel optimized for 2-hand non-melee builds  E: I feel like something akin to This will end up being the "core" of most spectral throw builds. Nearby are weapon-specific nodes for EVERY type of 2hander, more life (this is already at about +200%), static blows if you do lightning dmg, Resolute technique if you have accuracy issues, 3(!) endurance charges, basically all the "good stuff" that you may wish to get. PS the Attack speed start from the scion is 5% attack speed and 2% ms per node, plus 6% cast speed (for curses or w/e). I feel like its a good investment of 5 points. | ||

Was planning on getting Fitnesse-->Hoto-->Ballistic Master--> Charisma. I agree with you on the Duelist tree, the defensive passives there aren't too awful though. +Ice Bite is there, 30% Cold Dmg+Hatred works well together. My only concern is lack of Dex if you go too far left, Throw, LMP, FA, and Hatred/Bear Trap is all dextacular. Then on the right side lack of life+survivability is a concern. Skill Tree | ||

PS My build is also less than 15 points away from 31% aura reservation reduction, which seemed like a viable route to go as well. I think you could run 3 auras with that plus reduced mana gems. Maybe. Actually, looking at your tree I think I'd prefer approaching ballistic mastery from above as a viable way to get dex and aura reservation. :O. (As in take my tree and go get that from above ). | ||

edit: I think the right side is interesting because of point blank, the ranger start is interesting because of the availability of ballistic mastery without being forced to go through primal spirit/heart of oak. On the other hand the Scion start gives you 25 attack speed for 5 points (harrier). | ||

Either way, I feel like spectral throw uses Throw, LMP, Added fire, then any of Blood magic/Life leech/Faster attacks so thats like 2 or maybe 3 green sockets. Not that hard to get in armor-bases. I'm not even sure what else you would use. Point blank and Iron Grip are both good gems but probably better to just get as Keystones really. Faster projectiles ruins your damage. Slower projectiles (probably) ruins your range. Added Cold/Lightning/Chaos are probably just not that much damage. I mean IR is OK if you are right there I agree but it doesn't feel like a key part of many builds. Mostly because grace went from like 200 mana/life to 60% ROFL. | ||

I have 1k life max lightning res and I can't even approach that guy without insta-ripping  | ||
