Is it better to run 2x Carnage Chieftains and 1x Host Chieftain or just run 3x Carnage Chieftains?

I've had zero issue keeping up frenzy or power with 2x carnage 1x host. I'm considering trying to find something else to run with them and just do 1 of each and seeing how that goes.

Unless you use Victario's Clarity to get those charges there isn't anything better unfortunately.

Also anyone curious I min/maxed the hell out of this last league, went full life (8k life) and with very expensive gear, take a look if you wish iCyberPunk is the character name.

Skeletons had about 900k-1M DPS each.

ah TY I will

Hi guys, I am really new to summoners and especially on the spectre portion.

For running: 2x Carnage Chieftains and 1x Host Chieftainor even 3 Carnage

1) How do I get 2 or 3 spectres to be exactly the chieftains? Everytime I raise spectres one of the other mobs becomes a spectres so I never get all Chieftains

2) If the Chieftain Spectres die, how do I get them back? I have to go back to Act 2 to resummon? Seems tedious...

I'm considering trying out the Reanimator for it's super-Enfeeble. From poe.db:

"

Can be Attached for a total Duration of 5 seconds
40% reduced Global Accuracy Rating
40% reduced Global Critical Strike Chance
Cursed Normal or Magic enemies deal 40% less Damage
-60% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
Cursed Rare or Unique enemies deal 15% less Damage

My main concern is the uptime. 5 seconds isn't very long, but will they spam it with Blood Magic? Then there's replacing Enfeeble in the CWDT set. Swap it with Temporal Chains? Vulnerability? Warlord's Mark?

I'm not comfortable yet with experimenting, but it's been on my mind.

1) Hold down A to enable corpse targeting. This will allow you to highlight the corpses you want to Spectre.

2) Your Spectres end up in the Desecrate pool. The Spectres shouldn't be dying much with the setup, but if they do you can just Desecrate and summon a new one. The Hideout works really well for this.

For 1 it sounds like you have spell echo somewhere.

For #1, I had the same issue and figured it out yesterday.
You can use corpse targeting to get the exact minion you want as a spectre. The corpse targeting key can be configured through your options menu under inputs. Look for "Enable corpse targeting".
When you have this key pressed, the corpse will get a highlight around it and the game will tell you which exact corpse you are mousing over.

For #2, desecrate will usually summon corpses of whatever you had as your last spectres. Just spam it till you find the right ones.

Hello,

This is my second season playing this build and as always - it feels strong. But I'm wondering where should I go next with my gear?
My golems seems to be dying pretty often and I dont know what to do. Sorry I dont know how to link my gear here.

Hi. This build looks great, but this will be my first summoner build and i have one question. Is it HC viable?

Killed Awakener deathless with awakening level 6 (dont know if that has any impact).

Well done :) Let me guess the cast while channeling link is key to you sustaining in this fight? I had a lot of problems staying alive on my first go without any adds to refill potions. an almost 2k ES every 1s or so seems pretty stronk.

I like dual wands for mapping because of the damage, however with 2 white sockets in the right spot on my regular 6l armor the staff could actually be swapped in just for the Sirius encounter.

Hello i run a bit different aproach what do you think i can upgrade in my gear?

Please excuse my Dollar Store gear, but I just got a 6 link chest. When I added brutality to my skeletons their ability to clear mobs decreased significantly. Is there a point in time when pure physical damage works better? Without brutality I am cruising through mobs and metas.

Any advice on where to go from here is appreciated.
