Thanks Kay. Really noticed a big difference using RS over other spectres im also using

many auras from spores give added phys dmg which is nice (also saved me alot of passives with anoint. Great for mapping/delve/metamorph

Are the spores consistent?

I'm using old school Grip for a straight 20% more cold damage.

I also switched to Frostbite for extra freeze chance. Can help to freeze lock bosses.

Yes very consistent during delve/blight and metamorph and good for mapping also spawns off delirium mobs

Grip of the council provides "Minions gain 20% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage"

While Triad Grip provides "Minions convert 25% of Physical Damage to Cold Damage per Green Socket"


What is the difference between gaining and converting in this context?

I'm currently running a 3 green/1 red Triad Grip S&S setup. Would I gain more dps if I switched Grip of The Council?

how do you get the increased offering effect on the chest piece?

Hunter's Exalted Orb.

It's a suffix. So make sure you have 3 prefixes before crafting.

Note that you need i80 to get offering. Regen is i75 and other mods are i85. So you have a 50% chance to get offering mod.

If you don't hit offering mod, craft prefixes cannot be changed, scour and repeat.

so since I have an i75 chest I would not want to try and get it?

Why do we use Damage on Full life support for RS spectres?
On Sirus our spectres got an area damage from his abilities....

q2: is this possible to use support: physical to lightning to convert all phys dmg to elementall? And use ele weakness curse in COH setup? ANd for bosses we can use elementall focus for example..

So what's the best build currently for a balance between mapping and bossing? I hate changing my spectres and gear so I want something that's good in all situations. Is that still slave drivers? Or is it spiders and EVF? Or just RS now?

for me its spiders + BTs. Im down to 2-3 seconds for Elderslayers.
Dont use controlled destruction. stack vicious bite + renewal. destroy.

RS have a lot of life (400% or something like that) and Grave intentions gives them extra energy shield from life (10%). They should always be at full hp between the minion hp nodes from the tree scaling this up further, life leech, and the energy shield.

for q2: I am not certain about the optimal setup, but I think it would be better to scale the 75% cold damage than to use up a gem slot to convert the last 25% to elemental. From my understanding every gem except part of hypothermia effect both the physical and elemental damage. so you would only benefit from the curse. (purely speculation)

I feel like Spiders + EVFs are still a good balance between mapping and bossing. I tested RFs today but honestly I didn't see much of an increase in my mapping speed. I saw a good DPS drop on my bossing though. Would gemswapping during bosses fix this issue? I play with vicious projectiles + poison as my green sockets.

idea regarding links for RS? just swapping out GMP and Peirce for

on bosses

would this be best?

Non spider build.

If you are using a +1 delve chest:

Mapping:

Against bosses, swap in Vicious Proj and Hypo.

-

If you use Lioneye:

Mapping:

Against bosses, swap GMP and Hypo.

-

Hypo is better than Cold Pen.
Cold Pen only improves cold damage, but they do 25% phys as well.
Hypo boosts all damage.

+1 specte chest is better than Lioness here right?

I feel the same. I tried some of the new spectres and none convinced me. BTs seemed nice at first but became very annoying versus moving bosses. EVF are still very good boss killers and spider do all the map clearing. It might be different for the other builds but I don't see a reason to switch from EVF with the spider build.

I craft new armor, think it will look good for spectres.

Very nice, What process does something like that take ?

6Link +1 spectre ? Use the Orb that has offering on an offering chest then click on your new Chest armor ?

I ended last league getting all 36 challenges i wanted before i tried much of its new crafting.

I bought 6l magic astral plate with only +1 spectre and using Craicic Chimeral while I dont got 100+ life, after it i craft 10% life to energy shield and using hunter orb
