If you do some rippy content, it is very dangerous to stop moving and cast a spell for Curse on Hit.


So basically Phase Run should be perma on. In that case Ele Equilibrium is in a similar situation as it feels like every content is rippy unless I keep running T15 and bellow maps with fewer mods on them- so EE is in question. As well. At first, I blamed my subzero chaos resists but it seems it is not it. After spending over 50ex for this I think I have to stop. Just not for me. Love the build and quality of the guide, but playstyle is definitely not for me.

Thanks.
• I eat cats for breakfast. I will eat you too.
• GGG has 0 play testers it seems. 3.24 shows it clearly.
• Screw 6-link one hand item exploiters and their deleted items. Your tears are as delicious as Pepsi Max Raspberry sizzling sip.
The build itself is very rippy for people wondering. I have still been figuring it out and only recently for my specific build using umbilicus have I found a way to live properly lol


plus using the front line cluster jewel in combination with glancing blows.

Steelskin gives me 2837 absorb for 3.07 seconds and 2.24 second cd and the cluster jewel gives non vaal guard skills 20% increased physical reduction for the duration. As well as +10 to the max resistances which is fantastic for those damn beyond bosses. The downside is you have 20% increased dmg taken for 4 seconds after, but the cd is 2.24 seconds so that is the most time you have increased damage taken for. You also kill everything within that timeframe so it doesn't really matter.

I have 68 and 70% to block attacks and spells respectively, with the glancing blows. This is without flasks or a shield because I use umbilicus. The combination of this with steelskin though is absolutely fantastic for my survability and the only thing I am dying to now is mechanics or lagging in full delirium maps.

If you can I would suggest trying out the ring, only thing I would change honestly is the cast on damage taken as I have found I like to hit it premptively for say moving through a door in heist or about to pull a big pack in 100% delirium maps
I am really enjoying the Frost Auto-Scouts compared to the SO. Not having to keep repositioning them is so nice and their single target + clear is still great with a single gem swap.

What enchant do you guys run for your boots, gloves, and helm?
Apologies if this has been asked before, but any reason to run Armageddon Brand instead of Storm Brand for cold damage spectres in the spider and spectre variant?

Seems like the quicker activation time would help proc EE. I guess only the spiders poison or the brand could kill the enemies but am I missing anything else?
Here is what I am doing... Keep in mind im in an econo build and not some 100+ ex build. Im also dodge and not block.

When they pile up on one side of a door. Don't stand in front of the door when it opens like a dumbass. Thats just asking for it.

Drop the brands in front of the door and pull the mobs out of the room in a nice orderly line and kill them that way. The brands and bots will do their thing while the specs kill everything.

Easy Peasy...

If I can do it in half ass junk gear anyone in good gear should be able to do it.

Hi guys! I too am struggling with survivability. It is becoming more and more demoralizing for me. I've never been super awesome at making money in this game and I dont have alot of time to farm. I play when I can but yea.

Anway, I've gotten most of the items I needed for the Pure Spectres version with SO. I just feel like maybe I am not optimized at all or anything. My block is low and I feel like I cant change out any gear like my amulet or my shield because I would struggle with dexterity and resists.

Could anyone take a look at my guy and maybe offer some advice on what I could work on? I have only 1 exalt and like 20 chaos at the moment so it will be some time yet before I can make drastic changes. I tried to do Sirus A4 and I died before anything even started. Just kind of made me feel bad lol.

Thanks in advance!

Some tips could work for u...:

1- in tree, i think u dont need indomitable army nodes, ur minions have many life/block/leech... so pick jewel nodes or discipline and training (after the last surging vitality, ofc);

1.2 or just removing Tireless (5 points) and picking disciple and training (5 points) u will gain life/es/armour and life regen... only lost the 'reduced minion skill cost' but its a really few diference;

2- in gear, spell block and recover life on block in shield;

3- u can try life as extra es in chest, will got around 500+ es and pick MoM...

sometimes u will run 0 es, but with life flask, surging vitality and helm skill, u will regen a lot... because the diadem regen life and ES, and ur es works like total HP now, because MoM. And u will block/dodge/evade etc too...

Sorry for my poor english!!

Do you realy need to have Mask of the Stitched Demon for your kingmaker AG to clean endgame? I'm not speaking about fully juiced delirium map but Sirius and Guardians. Cause this shit is expensive AF
Hi, Which awakened Gems should i get first in order ?
Why do you use Predator instead of elemental damage with attacks? I can see WED gives much more dmg.

And why Feeding frenzy for spectres? You got feeding frenzy from other minions hits in your helmet (AG or zombies or carrion)

I'd try a different approach. While I love kay's builds, every one of them endgame variants are glass cannons tailored for melting bosses in 2 seconds and relying on player skill and boss knowledge not to get hit in case the spectres do not melt the bosses in 2 seconds.

But, real world scenarios for the vast majority of players is quite different, mostly for currency limitations or player knowledge. Kay is an advanced necro player. We often run rippy maps and will simply die by surprise dps spikes that you will not even know where came from, if we use this diadem and cluster jewels approach.

So the below suggestions will be mostly aimed at your request for more tankiness and damage. Tankiness for me, in this league especially, is way better than min maxing tooltip dps.

-You are not using animate guardian so I advise that to be your next top priority. You will not go too far without animate guardian so waste a little time learning about it, and setting it up.

- You dont need a 6link animate guardian to make him tanky.

- Wath this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5GQBhmirc4 and check the most expensive variant. It is something that if you cant afford right now, should be your next goal. Believe me, with the 90k life and regen of 18k life per second, the guardian is unkilable, Nothing ever touches it. You just put it in your helmet that may contain ONLY minion life of 18 or more, so pretty cheap. Check my gear in my profile for reference. I'm now at lvl 99 and I practically dont die unless to really crazy stuff.

- If you try to go for a helmet that is worth around 100ex which is damage based, pseudo 7link or 6link for spectres, it will be a freaking waste of cash, because first, minion damage is not too useful for S.O. and hypothermia also not super useful, because you will be casting frost bomb manually to destroy the boss cold res, and the guardian will be debuffing the boss with elemental weakness too.
Another bonus that these 100ex helmets do have is minion life, which is a waste too, for spectres. Believe me , they will not die unless you run elemental reflect maps without using pantheon for reduced reflect damage.

- The top setup i found for operatives which is versatile (map and boss) without having to swap gem is spectre> spell echo > feeding frenzy > elem damage with attacks > volley > vicious proj. Amazing clear speed and nice boss kill speed while you can focus on a more defensive tree.

- like another fellow suggested above, get rid of the proxy ring and put bonechill on the skitterbots. Armagedon brand and frost bomb being casted manually will make you melt bosses pretty fast while not instantly.

-if you can, get 3 minimum endurance charges and get the block nodes on the tree and Glancing blows notable. Blocking is really good and preferrably you dont wanna rely on a flask for blocking because you can get killed instantly most of the times without knowing where it come from, before you can use a flask. So preferrably, for safe builds, go with shield passives. This will make you incredibly durable, kind of a game changer actually. You can have +2 on shield and +1 in one ring or +1 in shield, ring and ring. It is that cool! Also, you can run chaos golem on top of all that for an extra 5% reduced damage which works pretty nicely with the tankiness synergy.

-upgrade your amulet for one containing +1 to all intel skills, it is a cool little bonus!

I hope sharing my experience of success with this build helps you or other people reading the thread! Let me know of anything else you wish to know.
