EK builds no longer Viable?

I'm returning after a LONG time. Last time I played, Spectral Throw builds were the thing, lol. I used to main EK but I don't see any forum post that are up to date for it.

Any recommendations if it is no longer viable?

Thanks!

it's viable, just look at all the new physical damage nodes (not melee specific) for example in the shadow area.
so crit or non-crit EK - both still good ;)

marauder is a bad starting choice for ek in the current meta. i would go shadow non crit. Cantrip has a very good ek guide in the shadow forums

EK is very viable, but not as a Marauder. Start as a Shadow.

Here's my guide: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/885713

Cantrip and ADI also have excellent builds that can start from the ground up. Search for EK in the Shadow forums.

I'm currently running a Iron Will/Doon Cuebiyari Marauder on Rampage.
Currently I am at 7k HP, 1.1k STR and have 13k EK running lvl 19 gems (no quality except for IW) in a 5L lightning coil.
Feels very tanky, clearspeed feels nice and is generally a joy to play.
I'd say if you wanna go non-crit EK, go for IW/DC, anything else Shadow will do better.
