" You're missing Elemental Equilibrium... seems like you decided to omit it on purpose because you don't have a brand equipped to even proc it? That is a lot of single target DPS that you're missing... -50% res to a single target will be a very noticeable difference. Also, if you're using SO's, you don't have to worry about their hp pool as much vs SD's. Get rid of the Spiritual Command and Sacrifice Clusters and spec into nodes like Sovereignty and jewel sockets. SO's scale extremely well with the Triad's Grip conversion + Hatred, so you will reach higher dps numbers by buffing aura effectiveness (which is why our medium clusters all have Vengeful Commander too). Those jewel sockets that are 1-2 points away from your tree can also give you a big DPS boost. Find jewels with stats like "15-20% increased damage if you've used a minion skill recently" or just flat minion physical damage will give another reasonable boost in dps. You will need to get Mistress of Sacrifice + a wand with the trigger craft to have an easy 100% uptime of that bonus damage. Otherwise, manually cast bone offering till you get it. After all that, see if you can fit an animate guardian setup. The cheap one listed in Kay's guide (Leer Cast, Bated Breath, etc.) will also give another decent damage boost to all your spectres. It's a very cheap setup, that works fairly well. But leave the AG till you've changed the other things mentioned above. Last edited by sabermetrics on Sep 30, 2020, 3:48:01 PM

Any recommendations on what to tweak while saving for the Pure Spectre gear?

SO's are just melting in both ST & Mapclear. Missing my 21 spectre gem to get a 5th spectre, then upgrading towards cluster Jewels (and get ride of some minionlife nodes when I'll do)
I get the exact same feeling of playing my RS Necro, if not better. Tips for those struggling to get ST damage : positioning your SOs right is mandatory. Getting to Zdps to Obliterating is only a matter of where you spectres are. | |
" My issue is that sometimes they seem to follow me too much and stop attacking the boss. Should I stay closer? Also, some bosses will just push into their faces, and then some of them will start meleeing. So I'll move away, convocation, but then the boss will run up into their faces again. I die to conquerors (especially al hezimin) way more often than I'd like just because it feels like the boss fight is a year long. Failed eradicator yesterday too because my hair was turning grey waiting for him to die. | |

Hey,
in case anyone is wondering whether to go 5l spectre with 5 spectres or 6l with 4 spectres: 6l with 4 feels way better and a 21/0 Spectre gem is very affordable right now. Also I found a diadem, so I went for the diadem build with haste, hatred and skitterbots. Clearspeed feels very good. Last edited by Snoukz on Sep 30, 2020, 4:36:07 PM

"  Im usually positionning myself that way. Dont know if its the BEST distance to be but it works out pretty well to me. Blue square as spectres, Red as Bosses. Killed Baran in 4sec, T14Map AW4 that way with 4 specters / no clusters jewel etc.. Last edited by Shaade on Sep 30, 2020, 4:37:48 PM

Do I have a problem with my Elemental Equilibrium if my Minion Wand has + added cold damage to spells or is it still fine? I cant really tell I´m using Holyflame Totem to procc EE.

" check the tooltip of the skill, if it has any cold damage, its bad. You can take Avatar of Fire if its not too far too reach |
