Vaal Spectral Throw

Vaal Spectral Throw is a vaal projectile attack that throws a copy of the player's melee weapon, spiralling outwards from the character and hitting enemies in its path

Skill functions and interactions

Terrain: Compared to the regular Spectral Throw, projectiles from Vaal Spectral Throw will disappear if they connect with terrain.
Projectile Speed: Vaal Spectral Throw acts different regarding projectile speed compared to most other spells. It has a set distance the projectiles can travel compared to having a set lifetime. So while increasing projectile speed makes the projectiles cover the area faster, it also makes the projectiles disappear faster instead of increasing the distance it covers.
Multiple Projectiles: When combined with Lesser Multiple Projectiles Support/Greater Multiple Projectiles Support supports, Vaal Spectral Throw creates multiple copies spread out around you that circles out at the same speed as the original projectile.

Threshold jewel

The following threshold jewels augment the skill gem:

Steel Spirit

Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0	No longer fires 8 additional projectiles, no longer fires projectiles in a circle, now fires 8 projectiles in each of two mirrored spirals. Now stores up to 1 use (previously 3). Now deals 110% of Base Damage, and has 110% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 20 (previously 170%). Now throws several spectral copies of your melee weapon. They fly out and then return to you, in a spinning attack that damages enemies in their path. No longer fires projectiles in a circle.
3.14.0	Now deals 125% of base Attack Damage at gem level 1 (previously 91%) and 170% of base Attack Damage at gem level 20 (previously 135%). Now fires 8 additional projectiles (previously 4). Now expends 15 Souls per use (previously 10). Now has a Soul Gain Prevention duration of 4 seconds (previously 6). Vaal Skill Gems can now only be obtained from a set of specific methods such as Corrupting Gems, Vaal Side Areas, Divination Cards (that specifically grant Vaal Skill Gems) and the Lapidary Lens in the Temple of Atzoatl.
1.1.0d	Vaal Skill soul counts were initially balanced for Merciless difficulty, where there are more monsters. We want them to be easier to use in Normal and Cruel difficulty. We have halved the number of souls required for each skill. In Cruel difficulty, skills require 50% more souls to uses. In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
1.1.0	Introduced to the game.
