From the Development Manifesto:

"Redemption Sentry Spectre
This monster variety had superior damage scaling and clear speed compared to most other Spectres, so has had its damage and life lowered."

RIP RS -

They also nerfed "Precise Commander, Vicious Bite and Vengeful Commander" on cluster jewels for a second time in a row.

Endurying Cry + Call to Arms were also nerfed, but I knew that was coming and called it out in a post a month or two ago. It was broken combo for certain.

Its ansewer few thread up.. sorry
Do socketed spells +3% critical chance on bone
helment affects redemptive n sentry.
It doesnt cast spell?
Why is it on the craft guide?

Well RIP Kay's Build :(
Way too many nerfs. It was bad enough when they nerfed Necro before, and now they have to add more nerfs on top of that?

Oh well, guess I'll have to scour the forum and find a build that I can play that doesn't require you to have no life in order to obtain currency to get to semi-end game...

I love POE, but really getting sick of contant nerfs but no buffs every game. It's taking much of the fun out of it...


Best of luck everyone!

Will wait for the numbers but I am honestly not that concerned about the nerfs... I usually try and avoid going full glasscanon anyhow and like to balance things out.

Have to disagree a bit on this one... I started playing POE Leagues when Betrayal started and the power creep has far surpassed the minor nerfs. I will keep playing Necro regardless because I like the play style the most.

I don't think it's a big problem!

Mistress nerf
Mistress was 50% effect for 2 years (3.2 to 3.8). So back to old version. No worries.

Cluster nerf
No harvest craft so no one will have critical cluster anyway.
The main problem is vengeful commander nerf. I hope it's not huge nerf. If it's 30% -> 20% still pretty good!

Redemption Sentry nerf
Will still be a good spectre even with half damage. No worries. But can just use another spectre! Heist is all indoors, so I think melee spectre will be the best.

Glancing Blows
Hm. It depends on how much you love it. I didn't put it in my 3.11 build actually, but many people used it. And I think some people said don't use it.

Me too!

Need to get POB update to export data from new contents system. Hopefully it's working soon so I can pull out Heist spectre info :D

Localidentity taught me how to add spectres to POB community, so if we can find good spectre in Heist, I can add them to offical spectre list.

The mod supports 'Raise Spectre' spell gem. So the spectre gets the +3% critical chance.

It's different to body armour mod.

Hi Kay,

With the nerf to mistress of sacrifice and glancing blows, would you still recommend going that route? I plan on running your S&S build with redemption knights/evf's, do you think dual wielding is still the way to go? Or would you go back to vic's charity?

Thanks

Not sure.

GB now has increased damage taken. It's not a problem for normal mapping because of recovery when kill monsters. But it will be a big problem for boss fights.

Actually I was thinking of dropping GB from S&S because it's really bad for boss fights. No monster adds = no life recovery and then if you block, you take damage anyway!

For normal mapping, life sustain is good because of life recovery, so block without GB is enough. I think just need to add Rumi's to build and keep dual weild + Bone Offering. I can try to change tree to get more block passives.

For Base Build and Pure Spectres, I think it's still good if you have 5% life recovery on block.

LOL! i know what you mean about falling asleep. this game kind of does that for me. but tbh i like that. its not mindless but it can be very relaxing after a hard day with the kids or at work.

I see they nerfed this build hard. I am going to still go with it tho. I think with the old build it was about 157mil max dps with the best gear. even if they cut half of that dps its still enough for everything in the game. my concern is, i dont like dying. so my question is, will the survivability still be as good? I know map clearing will be great still, but if things die slower will this build be as defensive?

other than that ill always remain a summoner. there is so many different play styles from zombies, skeles, specters golems, AG, Phantasms ....the game play is slowing down a bit. i dont mind that at all. again, i think a more balanced defensive/offensive playstyle should be looked into.

a zombie build can still work with AG/golem set up. with the new curses the longer the fight the more damage a casted curse will do. i was allready looking into zombie + curse anyways. your build got hit really hard but tbh i think its still viable and one of the top builds. switching out some damage gems like the skitter bots for more defensive for boss fights with casted curses may be a decent idea. even double casted curse for boss fights.

plus i have no doubt other specters are still viable. some very good ones yet to be used

<3 you. keep up the good work and dont stop!
