New char starting skills

[Cerveza]

I have actually changed my build. If I decide to go back to the original in the first post it will be easy enough....

Here's the new build:

120   Throwing
120   Bushido
120   Tactics
100   Anatomy
90   Healing
70   Chivalry (+15 Jewelry for 85)
60   Spirit Speak (+15 Jewelry for 75)
40   Necro

Replacing Swords with 20 additional Tactics, 40 Necro and 60 Spirit Speak.

I sacrifice the ability to defend at close range for the ability to have a constant supply of mana and health (curse weapon). Stick and move, stick and move. And if I want to go swords it would be easy enough to switch over.

Why have swords?  For champ spawns I use slayer cyclones with the right hit area effect, hit lighting, and mana leech with momentum strike.  When you figure the range of the cyclone and that a whirlwind attack only hits whats near you its not a huge diff on how fast you do the first two levels of spawns.  I have the extra skill points in resist atm.  The only char I have seen beat the dps of my thrower with 1.5sec soul glaive is a lumberjack sampire.

Can you deadly poison a throwing weapon?

Petkiller - swords was to offset the hit penalty for close targets. Your right that momentum can be used, but you still need to hit. I'm hoping to stay far enough away from stuff I don't have to worry about the reduction in Hit Chance.

Gimlet - ranged weapons can't apply poison.
