You're at lvl59 in normal. You can make a Void rune word in a T2-T3 balanced Axe after that. It's a long time I played throwing sin, but I always leveled with THUL rune word in throwing knife and stormcrow skill. When you get the Void weapon, mana problems will gone, so you can go with full maelstrom.

The guide is gonna be updated within 1 week. From what a see in the patch notes, the build will be exactly the same as before. Whychwind might be a new addition to the build thanks to the lvl 100 upgrade for it, will have to test that tho.

Storm crows is entirerly different. It is a weapon damage based build, maelstrom is dex stacking. Also it is absolutely trash for farming, since all the missiles home in on one enemy, and if the target dies, the missiles dont seek a new target, they just disappear.

What about bossing? A good Storm Crows build vs a good maelstrom build. Who would be better at bossing in your opinion?

For bossing, storm crows is gonna be a lot stronger.

Runes and runewords were reworked this patch, its fal rune now. Because you cant downgrade runes anymore, i suggest collecting amethysts for everything but the shield, and use fal runes in shield.
