Elemental Buzzsaw & Static Strike - Solo the entire game, quickly and cheaply 1.1.0 update

Is Alpha's Howl required to run 5 auras? I have taken all the reduced mana passives and have both my reduced mana gems at lvl 16 and I am using 99% of my mana with only 4 auras.

I just wanted to remind you all about a mechanic regarding spectral throw that you are forgetting about.
Well, this build definitely has a lot potentials and can be done in different variations like focusing on block, with ondar's guile and all that. However, I'm amazed no one in the whole 145 page thread mentioned the most basic and important mechanic regarding spectral throw. We all know that enemies can only be hit every .3 second by spectral throw (look at poe wiki). It means if your attack speed is far more than 3.3, your tool-tip dps doesn't properly reflect the actual damage you are dealing to a monster. sure, you will have more maneuverability and and kite monster better, but you are not doing any more damage by increasing you attack speed further than that point. I hope my post doesn't get buried because I wanna know if I'm also missing a point and what's the better build considering this limit. tl;dr tooltip doesn't show the actual damage dealt to a monster if u have attack speed greater than 3.3. , but the build still has its potential.

I don't know how that could possibly be true. As your attack speed increases you can definitely see more damage going out, even past that .33 point.

" "an enemy can be hit once (per attack) every 0.3 seconds." The same Salvo can only hit once per .3 seconds. If you are casting 6 per second, all 6 will hit. When at max distance, each missle can not just sit there and hit multiple times due to the .3 second cooldown on each missle or better, group of missles. This also prevents the shotgunning effect.

so if thats right, if the tooltip says attack time 0.32 seconds there is no point going higher and you would be better off using something like ?

This build has one serious flaw. The lack of armor makes it incredibly vulnerable to leap slam and puncture. Leap spam does AOE so you can't dodge it. And it's physical so you can't mitigate it with resists. Puncture is also physical and can kill this character before you even realize you're bleeding and have a chance to use a Staunching potion.
Am I doing something wrong? I couldn't kill either the Blacksmith boss on Dunes nor one of the rare mobs that had puncture. |
