Do skitterbots count as minions for the purpose of bone barrier?

Trying to play with 10 minions to max the ascendancy but keep the load on My PS4 down.

I have switched over to the V2 build yesterday.
It feels quite good regarding the survivability, but in the vid I saw that you have a lifepool of more than 9000 life. I now have 7.7k life and 670 ES at level 94, my gear is surely lacking a few points of max life here and there, I still need a helmet and my body armour needs a multicraft mod (which I can't afford right now after buying the +1 wand and the +1 spectre body armour).
So am I on the right track regarding the lifepool or am I missing anything here?
Did a few T16 maps yesterday as well as shaper and it felt quite good, though I sometimes thought I did feel the damage loss compared to the V1 build. But maybe I was just paying to much attention to little things ;)
I'm only a very casual player and so this was my first shaper run and I only died once (because I messed up).
So thanks a lot for this build, I'm reaching more milestones with this one than any league before!

Hello, may I ask if I need to manually cast Deathmark? Or will the spectres automatically apply it? Thanks!

I would say thats fine, i have pretty decent gear and get up to 83xx hp and 13xx es.
I think the 1k hp difference is mostly due to the 8% max life craft on the chest and the 10% max life on the shield used in the video but is made up through the more es i have.

Yes, you have to cast it to get the full value of the gem.

I heard that they are buggy for some things but you should be able to check if they work for bone barrier if you look at your res before and after summoning them (while being below 10 ofc).

Should I stay with 6 slave driver or find a different 6th spectre? It has to be able to use helm links, so I can't use a BM/ape for frenzies because the game is smart enough to know a 2 link spectre on chest doesn't get the 6th spectre.

So I'm doing SD's in this GG hat... but it feels a little lackluster. my dps is okay, but not great. I've got like 40 ex worth of stuff going and it's just not feeling as strong as it probably should. Any idea what to do?

edit: my profile is public btw. any tips welcome for survivability/damage.

editedit: that open socket was just cause i took spell echo out to resummon.

I basically swapped from PoH to your W&S v2 and sold my other equipment to finance really good life rolls on all my gear. In the passive tree I picked up all the Survivability and only thing I opted for instead is to keep necromatic aegis and Vic. I’m at about 7800HP ish and doing alright. Is there a point I should swap to the block shield setup? The goal is 1000+ delve depth and 100 ( first league for me) I’m farming t16 and delve atm. Not sure what to upgrade to or do next aside from 30+ ex plus on a wand and a chest with more life eventually,

Thanks!

Hmm maybe drop AG? I see the stone golem procs -10 lightening res.

The AG does that too, plus he can support you with fortify.

Not sure if that is even possible and definitely not with a Victarios.

Just look at Uberdans latest RIP and how he melts at 1300 depth with a highly specialized char built for delving.

If you go back a few sites you can find a discussion about using empower to get a 6. spectre and iirc another support gem will give you more dmg.

I've been using this wand:

Recently, I ended up using some alterations and came up with this one:

Is it worth the 2ex< or is it a small upgrade?

That is a jackpot wand. Multimod that beast and enjoy the fruit of that good rng. I still can’t land those 2 affixes by themselves.

He has his 6L in his helm tho. Kay said that using empower to hit a 6th spectre is not worth the dps loss from losing a support gem.

Edit: Nvm we were saying the same thing my bad :)

And he still has to use an empower to reach 31.
