Use double throw with some good weapons, or just let yourself get carried and max BO first so everyone loves you and teleports for you. Honorable mention goes to cleglaw gloves: you can knockback and slow the whole screen constantly, making things very safe for your team and yourself even if you do zero damage due to 20 points in BO.

Merc: eth plague legend sword a5 merc with any good helm/armor. Might and shedding curses makes a massive difference to your safety and DPS (decrep is very annoying). Last season I used a plague a2 defiance merc, which while still good, is overdoing it.

Playstyle: You'll have 100% deadly strike, do 300-700 phys (600-1400 after DS, ~2.5k magic damage, and 2.4k-2.9k+ life. If you hit 10 targets with one throw with 100% pierce, you're dealing 35,000 60/40 mixed damage to every enemy close enough to get hit by a bolt. This allows you to kill trash mobs even in full games. Hitting more enemies per throw means more DPS, which is why you want to walk right up in front of the enemy before attacking. *Sounds dangerous right?*

Carrion wind + dracs let you be an unstoppable tank. Every enemy will be stunned for seconds by your twister procs, allowing you to run past blood lords and hell whips. You can occasionally turn around and throw back once or twice to clean them up. Your life tap procs mean you're leaching an insane amount and your health globe will rarely not be full. Everything is stunned so you aren't taking hits anyway. Also you'll have max block at this point.

These are my times. I may pick up more than you, and I like to hork the elites at the start of maps. Avoid maps with combinations of +phys damage, amp/decrep, and deadly strike, those can be killers.

* Drac's makes a massive difference to your safety. You'll need 35 ias off weapon with warshrikes, so you'll need a 15ias jewel somewhere and highlords or cat's eye (worst case).

* Grim ward is great for blood lords, everything rip apart like paper, and team synergy. If you want you can cast it once before you throw, but it's not usually needed when soloing. If you're with a bowazon they might appreciate it.

* Phoenix is fine if you want to use it, but the 30% DR from Stormshield is a life saver, and redemption maps are a bit of a nerf. It is nice vs ghosts that drain your mana, although overall I think it's way too expensive for the value (also you can't hit max block easily).

* Enigma is nice too, 100 mf, tons of strength, life on kill, 45 frw, teleport. Hard to turn it down if you have it, although I personally didn't care to pay for it.

This build has been a lot of fun for me this season because I love finding tons of good items. Thanks for making ethrow Greendude! Maybe we'll get an ethrow helmet staffmod someday :)
