its 5points for 12% attack speed to spectral throw only.

Wrong. They all work with Spec Throw.

It's less point efficient to go the NSA path than my alternative path though. Both for life and for damage.

Damage Modifiers: Spectral Throw is classified as an Attack and will benefit from x% increased Attack Speed but not from x% increased Casting Speed. Similarly, it is a projectile rather than a melee attack and benefits from x% increased Projectile Damage and x% increased (Weapon) Physical Damage but not x% increased Melee (Physical) Damage.


if that damage modifiers part of the wiki is right they wont work. Havent tested it on the actual skill but melee physical is what those nodes are. not weapon physical

Yeah the wording gets confusing sometimes. Like the whole less and reduced stuff. Anyways, it's increased physical damage with 2H weapons and not Increased melee physical damage with 2H weapons. That's why it works.

Thats rediculously stupid and retarded to type it so then :D


oh well at least i hope we 3 helped the OP even a bit with our magnificent brainpowers combined :D

My bad if that's the case. My tree is scion specced for 1H/shield so I might be a bit off.

omg dude, start using armor scraps and whetstones

also you are way too spread out on the tree

I was a dual strike spec before this and spent all of my respec points to the one I currently am

Did I completely ruin my main character?

there is allways regrets to be farmed

Ok without using regrets

With the exception of ballistic mastery, would this be a decent build for a spectral throw marauder at level 85

I took resolute technique out because i actually have 3 more respec points and got some more axe dmg nodes

is it safe to say I can reach a decent spectral throw dps with this build if I work on my items?

The only nodes that don't work with ST are "x% increased melee physical damage...".

Nodes such as "x% increased physical damage with x melee weapon" work just fine.

2-3k ST damage is low but not terrible. Your weapon is not that good so don't have high hopes for damage with that weapon.
