Hey Ghazzy,
Love the build. Transitioned from SRS Zombie Specter into this Specter build for higher maps. I'm just wondering, don't you kind of screw yourself by using Anger and Elemental Equilibrium? As far as I understand, if I hit a mob with ball lightning to apply curses, that mob gets both lightning AND fire res because my spell hits for lightning and fire (due to anger). Could be that I'm just wrong. I understand that Anger is a huge damage boost for the specters and feels real good to use. Just trying to figure out some mechanics. Thanks for build and answer.


Wait what, you should have all auras connected to Generosity, auras with Generosity don't affect you, you shouldn't be affected by it at all.

Hey,

Are you running Elemental Reflect modded maps?
They can handle most of it, but as soon as you meet packed enemies the pseudo shotgun effect will pretty much make the spectres one shot themselves in higher tier ele reflect modded maps.
Other than that I can't think of any other way they would be dying that easily.

You got the Soul Weaver Ascendancy node I'm assuming? :)


Yeah I got the Weaver Ascendancy, the ele reflect might answer it so thanks for clearing that up, it wasnt such a problem on lower tiers but I guess t15+ the reflect gets scary even for them

Also feel free to comment on the EQ, whether there's anything i could swap/change or anything I'm missing, 94lvl 6100/1100 Life/ES, 25/50 overcap cold/light res

Ah! That's it. I'm an idiot. I'm running my auras in Essence Worms along with MoM for some extra mitigation. I guess I'll look into either a different aura or tweaking my set up for generosity supporting the auras. Thanks for your answer!
@DrThorMD:

Exactly what @Antyone said :)

Your gear looks like something I would have played with for end-game so honestly the only thing I can say is "get higher numeric values wherever possible"
However, I would recommend getting Convocation on a higher lvl so it doesnt proc on CWDT so you cast it manually instead!

I haven't actually considered it, thought the idea was to have it on CWDT haha, its actually pretty neat with CWDT, just gotta time it right altho at times it doesnt work the way u would want, might lvl it up and start casting manually to see if I like it more. Wonder if having 2 of those, would they share the CD as well? If you could have one on CWDT and 1 for manual, that would be neat.

I also swapped out the belt



I played around with biscos for a long time and I think having something like this is much better, at 95 im at about 6750/1150 life/es, safe to say im pretty tanky all things considered, add in a bit better jewels, swap out bisco amu and I could easily push for 7k. Pretty nice I would say
I've been using this build for a bit now. I just got my Tornado Raider to level 64. I must say this build is AWESOME!!! She kills stuff so fast and easy. This is by far my most fun build so far!!! The guide is really informative and detailed. The only thing I wish is for more leveling steps. There is a final build, but after about level 60ish, he doesn't detail the steps to fill those nodes. It's not a huge deal though. The build guide gets you through the main levels, and it's relatively easy to figure out the rest. Overall. Great Job!!!
Ghazzy, I'm loving your build so far. I am now level 89 and looking at endgame gear.

What is your opinion on the United in Dream cutlass for this build? Would it be better overall than a Scourge if you can obtain it? Thanks.

Thank you bro!
Do you have any specific suggestions of what you lacked in the guide, regarding the note about having more lvling steps. This is important so that I can improve the quality of my guides.

Hey,

Cheers!

United or Severed are both alright choices, though poison only comes from Physical & Chaos damage which these spectres are dealing 0 of, which means the only thing making these weapons alright choices is the fact that they give minion dmg %. Which also makes Scourge or any other option described a better & cheaper alternative in most cases :)

So I was just wondering, I am currently running purity of elements on generosity, and as I have previously mentioned, ele reflect on high tier maps is a problem, so I started thinking and what if I'd swap VLT from unset and put Purity of Fire on +3 ring? Would extra max res help spectres survive? Not to mention the resi it would give us as well, so everything tells me this would make sense but what are your thoughts on this?

Also on CWDT+Convocation, I gotta say I like it more on CWDT, seriously. I guess my style of gameplay revolves around mobility a lot, so being able to get into pack, trigger CWDT + Immortal then getting out works out quite well most of the time. Having to cast it manually I noticed it just disrupts the flow of the run, and actually exposes you and makes it easier for you to die, so CWDT+Convo is definitely the way for me lol.

That being said, I swapped out golem from 2nd unset and put in another Convo for when the times requires it to be used manually (yes, they share the CD). Gotta experiment with it more but I actually end up rarely using it.

I wouldn't combine a Purity Aura with Generosity, but yes for this build I would probably favour Purity of Fire, not just for reflect but also for smoother Atziri runs :)
I think your thoughts on this are correct and you should try it out.

Though, despite PoF the spectres can't survive Elemental Reflect modded maps I am assuming you are referring to 1 rare enemy with Elemental Reflect during mapping of higher tiers.

Regarding the CWDT it all comes down to a matter of personal playstyle!

Ok so I actually tried it out on t15 (harb pack/breach) and the PoF20 on +3 ring definitely helped spectres survive, but I still had to babysit them because of their crazy dps on high density mob packs, could probably play around with gems to tune it down a bit and probably get PoF21, but all in all, because the way solar guards work and my mobility-based gameplay, half the time the spectres I think were outside the zone of the aura (I think, I actually can't tell the aoe the auras gives, but it's outside the screen). It's also just not enough for them to go all in and tank it all out, you'd have to wear something like The Rise of the Phoenix so they could benefit from the +8% to maxfr, but it's just such a hassle it's not worth it, better to avoid ele reflect on higher tier maps all together.

So that's kind of the downside, not having it on generosity means spectres won't benefit half the time, definitely thinking about swapping it for purity of elements though, since I think they are tanky enough for everything and the only danger to them is basically ele reflect.
