Impactful Throws + Deft Hands?

I’ve never messed with Impactful Throws before, but I’m wondering how well it could work in conjunction with Deft Hands on an Assassin build: knock an enemy down, get a critical strike and 3 seconds off all of your cooldowns.

Any tips on Impactful Throw builds? And has anyone tested one in conjunction with Deft Hands?

I tested deft hands with impactful throws and it does work. I shoulder charged enemies and perform a crit strike at knocked down enemies and it definitely speeds up cooldowns. I can't say if it's viable to create a build around it though.

Really? That’s excellent news, thanks for testing!

It's not hard to test yourself. Try it on a solo survival match on wave 0 and see how efficient you can make it. I just don't have all the necessary gear to put together a build. I've never used impactful throws on anything. I just happened to have a random loot with it that i used to test.

Did you have any ‘cooldown on kill’ rolled on your other items? Are you sure the cooldown boost isn’t coming from that stat?

I do but i didn't check thoroughly. You may be right. I have limited junk loot to use and all my gear has cooldown on kill, I might try it later but you can test it yourself to confirm in case if i made a mistake. it only tales a few seconds.

I tested it without any ‘cooldown reduction on kill’ on anything, and can confirm that the ‘square’ prompt attacks on enemies as a result of Impactful Throws absolutely DO work with Deft Hands to reduce all of your ghost weapon cooldowns by 3s 😃

Yup. Can confirm. i retested just now with nothing except the charm and it works. Good luck with putting together your build.
