Imo widowmaker on sorc is bad.

I havn’t tried to push the limits of throwables, but my guess is it’s also bad, but I understand it could be a fun surprise attack on a mostly melee char.

Imo, normal attack is better than zeal.
Passion sucks.
Zeal charges are hard to get on a good rare.
Better get a good fools PB, which only req 50ias for 10fpa normal attacks. Easy to get all that ias from weapon and no need on other gear for more flexibility.

If you really want to throw, using -10WSM javs req 75ias to reach the same 10fpa, with some bad 12fpa throw. Or even 80ias if you want the 7fpa mid zeal… harder to reach without open sockets in javs…

So in the end I feel like having the option to throw is just making the build weaker overall than going pure melee.

Also… if you get a fools 40ias 2os PB, putting 2x 15ias jewels in there is neglecting 10% slow (very common in pvp) so you can keep 10fpa. Can be ias/100ar or ias/15@.
