[3.2] !Theory! Spectral Shield Throw Poison Assassin

Any updates to this build before patch goes live ? looks interesting

I wouldn't do this as a league starter; there's potential for disaster with such little time :D

I'm definitely going to do this or a Chaos Totems this league, though.

I've updated as far as I can without more information. Not recommended as a league starter.

Since i have Balls of Steel i will start with it right away! :D will let you know how it felt to lvl and the curve is towards endgame content. You sure we will need shield throw anyway as a 6 link? cant we probably just do it as a 4link since it most likely is just a clearing skill and a 6link bf?

Possible but i want to see how it feels as single target first. As a 4link you'll have to put in poison support making it even weaker. Might be too weak to clear at that point especially against rares, which there will be more of and more powerful this league.

PoB update incoming with the new Gems.

I will wait for an update.

I was actually thinking about Tempestuous Steel as the 'weapon' of choice. You get 'Hits can't be evaded' and 'gain 15% of your phys att dmg as fire and lightning dmg'.

Also, the claw nodes say '...% incr phys dmg with claws', so I highly doubt that you'll get incr phys dmg with SST. What you will get, is the 'incr ailments' of those nodes as it says 'while wielding a claw'.

Ofcourse you'll get incr phys dmg with blade flurry.



This is my take on it: https://pastebin.com/7qVa7sZj

Without those nodes i can't find a way to get BF up to 1 million Shaper dps. The dps for SST clear seems acceptable to me on paper.

Tempestuous Steel does solve the chance to hit issue shame we don't really benefit much from the elemental side. I still think the Wasps nest BF single target cant be beat atm.

So, this is fairly close to what I've been fiddling with this weekend. I'm level 48 now, but it's a real slog. My only investment so far was a 630 Armor+Evasion shield for 1c, but damage is still awful. I have a feeling it could be good once Ascendencies and gear kick in later, but I don't know if I have the stamina to grind it out.

I'd welcome criticism and feedback, since I'm not much of a theorycrafter.

A little but of consolation - it's not you, SST skill is just trash ATM (just do some googling on youtube, reddit etc - at least I did when it failed me).
Especially if you want to level with it. A white weapon and Molten Strike will most likely beat it anytime...

I can't say anything about mapping and really well rolled shields in end game. But I suppose this is basically going to be facebreaker 2.0. Get your added phys dmg on items (abyssus) or change build.

I hope I am completely wrong and someone will soon show me how awesome this skill is :D
