What wand is better?

Check in POB. But a warning on the first one, the "cold damage to spells" might mess with your EE proc, so check that too. Make sure the spell you're using to trigger EE is NOT doing cold damage.

Thx. I wish i knew how to use POB well, everyone say the number for RS are wrong no?

Did you try Awakened Fork and LMP?

I think the idea was to test Fork as a replacement to LMP, using both would lose you too much damage.

My character is far from perfect, and still LMP and Fork is offscreening on regular maps.

Any advise what I should upgrade next? I have 13 ex remaining to spend.

Hi have dilemma witch ones spectre i use on Sirus lvl8 knights or sentries ?

Thank you so much for the reply kay and breaking down your setups for clearing and bosses. If I don't want to deal with switching gems and gear and such, would you recommend RKs and ele weakness with Vic's shield and totem setup for everything? I actually prefer the RKs top Sentries even for mapping as I'm more of a run in the middle of stuff player. It seems like most deaths are one-shots anyways so maybe that will be easier for me rather than trying to find sentries/knights when I need to switch. I'm on PS4 so it's a bit harder to find someone to let me desecrate in their HO. As I stated before all content is fairly consistently cleared other than Sirus and then as stated still waiting on the right last frag to try and go for UE. Thanks again!

maybe try: lunaris pantheon, chaos golem, 4-6 endurance charges, dragon hunter cluster jewels, passives on tree (soul of steel, other with maximum life and armour), determination aura, some gear with armour (lioneye's remorse, aegis aurora, death's door, although any option that I can think about would need to replace something that you already have), also physical damage taken as elemental is good connection with 90 all res, example of such item if you have free spot for watcher's eye, values are starting from 40 chaos

Thanks for the answer.
To take Soul of Steel i will need 8 more pasives..., which passives will you take off?? I`m almost 93, i will take of a increased life% passive and with one more pont i'll take that node to the watchstone... that also mean that i will need the Purity of Fire gem aura?? what would you take off?
And can you give me an example of that cluster jewel that you mencioned??
This is my passive tree right now:

I usually calculate how much I loose from passives taken away compared to benefits from path to other place, example: soul of steel is comparable to having 4% more hp against elemental damage and around 5-10% more hp against physical damage (depending on initial values), I only go there if no hp passives nearby or if having high armour and max resistances. I use all purities for 90 max res so watcher's eye physical taken as elemental is good connection, but could turn out to not be worth it, if you don't use purities (example - would need mana reservation passives and items). Having look at your tree, my priority would be hp nodes or notables called diamond skin, juggernaut, or combat stamina (5% max hp, 1.8% regen, 30% increased armour for 3 points). First ones to refund would be "grave pact" and "enduring bond", but this depends on someone's playstyle, I like defensive notables while you may prefer to have more damage on minions. Example of cheap small cluster jewels with dragon hunter (5% additional phys reduction, 30% increased armour)

Does spell crit from hunter mod increase specter dmg?

Can someone take a look at my POB and tell me if I'm doing something wrong. https://pastebin.com/mjuSbJi6

EB/MOM Redemption Sentry

It's my first league so after collecting some cash on my main, I decided to try out other builds to see what I like. I've spent over 20 ex on this build so far and I don't feel like I'm getting the damage or the survivability that I'm supposed to.

I know my chaos res is terrible and I should have gotten a chest with an open prefix for the max life as energy shield. So my ES is pretty low.

I know I'm only level 88 but the rest of the nodes in the guide are just health nodes so they'll make my survivabiltiy better but won't raise the damage or make my zombies tankier.

I think the idea was to test Fork as a replacement to LMP, using both would lose you too much damage.

Did you mean as a replacement for LMP + Pierce (ie one gem replacing two)? Because I was thinking along the lines of the other poster where you straight up swap Awakened Fork in for Pierce to be used alongside LMP.

It's all a balancing act between targets hit and damage per target; the more targets you hit, the less damage per target:

LMP fires 3 projectiles; GMP fires 5
Pierce can hit 5 targets (4 pierces and a final non-piercing)
Awakened Fork can hit 7 (initial target, two secondary targets, four tertiary targets)

LMP + Pierce = 15 targets max
@ 1.19 * 0.94 = ~12% more per target
Max multiplier = 16.8x

GMP + Pierce = 25 targets max
@ 1.19 * 0.74 = ~12% less per target
Max multiplier = 22.0x (31% more than LMP + Pierce)

LMP + Awakened Fork = 21 targets max
@ 1.09 * 0.94 = ~2% more per target
Max multiplier = 21.5x (~28% more than LMP + Pierce

Awakened Vicious Projectiles + Awakened Fork = 7 targets max
@ 1.64 * 0.9 * 1.09 = ~61% more per target
Max multiplier = 11.3x (~33% less than LMP + Pierce)

Trying to use Awakened Fork just by itself only gets you 7 targets so while your single target will be better, clearing all the trash mobs will be notably worse. Using the higher target count will clear all the small mobs better but cause you to spend more time killing the large ones.

Also the one thing all this discounts is overkill and how likely you are to be able to utilize all your potential target hits (remember, each attack can only hit an enemy one time, you can't for example use LMP + Awakened Fork to hit the same mob twice).

This makes the best setup depend on the situation, for example when I'm doing Simulacrum running the Spectres and Spiders build, I do the following:

1-8ish: Start with GMP + Pierce + Poison because everything gets one shot in the early waves so I need more targets hit plus the poison for the ability to kill things at range.
9-16ish: I swap out Poison for Awakened Vicious Projectiles when things take more than one hit to die.
17-20: I swap out GMP for LMP only for the last handful of waves where I need the extra damage.
