a few things I forgot to mention: 1. A chest augment is not required for either of these builds, but fan of knives augment will give a small benefit. 2. Azazel's Despair naturally drops with only +all skills and 1 socket, you must insert Anubis' Soulgem to get the additional stats shown here 3. equipped potions are Elixir of Death, Protein Shake, Bottle of Sake, and Sung Lee's Flask of Carnage

Hello, this looks cool, and i love this Flicker Strike gameplay, but since im not a giga chad tryharder, how is early / mid game (before getting heroic items), this throwing build will be ? Is it comfortable, or super hard until first heroics ? Ty for this good showcase

[@rsnowzone]

for leveling you can mess around with additive damage types, but eventually you'll want to look out for things like enhanced damage, crit chance/damage, deadly blow, attack speed, and a little bit of crushing blow. strength is always good and the most important thing to focus on is keeping your main weapon damage up-to-date. early game runewords include malice and aurora's might for 3 socket weapons, and skysong and ravager for 4 socket weapons. valkyrie runeword in an S-tier short war bow is very good mid game for shuriken throw. other good early runewords include fortress armor, flesh ripper helmet, and quickstep boots. you might be lacking health and resists for a bit which is where charms come in clutch until you can start getting heroics

How do you correctly play this? Just hold down empire slash?

[@antoine723]

Hello, why are you not maxing Quickslash or shadow step to up Empire slash ?

[@rsnowzone]

the bonuses are quite small compared to maxing 3 usable skills and a proc, however if you just want to use 1 button for gameplay with empire slash then yes you can max out it's synergies for more damage
