ST is a ranged melee attack. It's still technically melee.

Especially for close up single target fights (HOWA shaper fights for example, they are close up and just shred him)



Spectral throw isn't melee lol..... You're a bad troll bud

Not trolling. It's a ranged melee attack. It's complicated (like your fb status)

Ranged melee attack implies it's not JUST a ranged skill. It's melee too, is what I'm trying to get at

melee is not ambiguous in PoE, there are tags that define what is melee and what is not melee. ST does not have a melee tag and melee modifiers don't affect it.

This!

Cyclone, reave or earthquake is probably what OP is looking for.

No disrespect, but that's not true.

Spectral Throw is an attack. It throws the current melee weapon at an enemy and returns to the player, dealing damage to enemies in its path.


It throws the current MELEE WEAPON at an enemy to attack it.

It's not true that there is no "Melee" tag on the Spectral Throw gem?

Tell me what tags you see listed on the ST gem

You are right, there is no melee "tag" attached to ST. However, the skill itself is definitely melee orientated (gameplay wise)
