All redemption got nerfed?

Play Spiders and Spectres and use redemption Kinghts

Any suggestions on what other spectre's to use if SD die all the time in low tier maps even? I want to make this build work but once spectre's die its slows down everything having to get them back in action

Redemption Sentries got nerfed by almost 50% less damage. I mean, I was doing 30 million dps before, so now about 15 million. On a budget build you can easily do 8 million PRE nerf, so about 4 million now. Idk guys, I am pretty sure that still makes them viable.

I'd like to see someone confirm they aren't dogshit now before investing on them tbh.

They reduced their damage by almost 50% and their life by 33%, those are significant nerfs... even if the alt quality on Raise Spectre helps for RK with the 20% life + melee damage.

I have Scinteel Synthite spectres (Softcore Standard). If you need some - PM me, @tiviar.

TFW when you get a Victario's Charity Laminated Kite Shield from like the 3rd map you do. That was unexpected but a welcome surprise.

I have Redemption Spectres if any needs them, ping me on softcore @CorpseConducter

I am level 90 and using Slave Driver. They are squishy. The Poison-Guardian wiped them 2 times at area level 76. some heists have so hard mobs, that the spectre are dying there also. actually i am farming red maps up to t15, the damage is okay on a 5l, the survivability is also okay in maps. but boss and some heists are evil.

to be clear - sd's are fine. they only die on hard encounters because we all are lacking on gem level. i have lvl 20 spectre und +2 level from asendancie, i am farming red maps and just killed hydra on a juicy map. this is fine.

To be even MORE clear: The only problem in maps with SD, are Baran mobs. If you let them sink into all that lightning damage, they will be wiped out.
The other mobs are pretty much normal.
IDK why GGG let some mobs be so annoying like that lol hahaha

I've tested Scinteel Synthite and can somewhat compare it with RS.
I've swapped gloves to rares with +20% minion damage craft.
I've swapped Hatred with Wrath.
I've swapped Frostbite with Conductivity.
I've swapped Frost Bomb with Firestorm.
Gem link: Raise Spectre (21-23) - Aw. Minion Damage (5-20) - Aw. Spell Echo (1-20) - Damage on Full Life (20-20) - Controlled Destruction (20-23) - Predator (20-20).
Old gem link: Raise Spectre (21-23) - Aw. Minion Damage (5-20) - Aw. Elemental Damage with Attacks (5-20) - Aw. Vicious Projectiles (5-20) - Aw. Elemental Focus (5-20) - Predator (20-20).

On clearing maps it seems quite the same (used GMP in both cases). Boss damage seems to be lower, and I easily notice it - you even have some time to die where you'll never find a space with RS.

We know, RS has a huge boost of damage via Frost Bomb and some better damage with unique gloves in comparison with +20% craft.

Swapping to what I mentioned above gives you more life, res, or smth else with better gloves and you can get off fire conversion skill tree node (add 5% life instead). So you'll have more defences. If you do not think that the best defence is to kill a boss faster, of course.
