Luminary Spectral Shield Throw SST Showcase 3.29 Allflame

3.29 Allflame Spectral Shield Throw Luminary

Level 98 Hybrid Crit Spectral Shield Throw Luminary [3.29] (optimal, not all up in a short boss)

Most damage I've ever had on SST. Not perfect gear by any means, but some of it is pretty good.

This build started as a flame link build, but I gave up and tried to play SST again, but as Luminary, I didn't want to relevel so tried to make it work.

Turns out it is pretty good, especially with some of the new items from this league.

Merc adds a lot of damage and this build utilizes Intuitive Link (I didn't know this skill existed before this league). To keep it from falling off you need to get a decent amount of mana cost efficiency and leave it at level 1. This allows for power charge generation, permanent Hydrosphere, and unnerfed Sniper's Mark (without Mark on Hit). The extra hits from Hydrosphere also procs the Mark Mastery for Frenzy charges, so it helps sustain them as well. This is up permanently during mapping, but very rng whether you fully stack them in a short fight (like in the showcase video).

I have zero idea how much damage the hydrosphere actually adds, but it is cool looking.

Perquil's Toe is quite potent as this build uses Ryslatha's and Volatility Support. The skill tooltip shows a range on cold damage from 16k to 470k. I've killed uber bosses from 30% hp in a single hit when it rolls high with res inversion.

The build can definitely be improved a lot, but I'm the only one playing it, so if anyone has some ideas let me know.
