Is it still prefered to go with a 2H in HC? Im really anxious to drop my shield
yes as it adds a ton of dps, you can easily drop flesh offering for bone offering and so on. The argument is that for the dps you gain from the mace, you can easily change damage to other things. I.e. rotting legion, flesh and stone defensively, bone offering and so on. Your dps will be super no matter what ^^
So what is everybody using as their curse? I know we are using Animate Guardian to apply Vulnerability on hit, but he counts as a seperate player, so we still have another curse to either self cast or get from our minions.
I changed my Spectre setup to 2xCarnage Chieftain, 1xHost Chieftain and 1xDiabolist. And man, that Diabolist is spamming Enfeeble all over the screen like its his favorite thing ever. And the effect is actually insane, I get hit A LOT less and when I get hit it hurts a lot less too. So I would definitely recommend getting a Diabolist as the 4th Spectre.
Did I miss it in the opening post? Or did OP not talk at all about what curse he uses?
i dropped diablolist as i felt he kept lacking behind. I run despair aura right now (trying to do new shenanigans with full chaos convertion, thats why i haven't looked too much into it.) You can easily run vulnerability on AG and enfeeble on diablolist if you like it :D
Just got passed 600 STR and doing T9 / T10 without any problems.
Currently I'm converting all minion physical damage to fire, with my Triad Grip gloves.. Is this a bad idea? or should I just find some other gloves until I can corrupt Triads with 4 White sockets?
What should my next investment be an Astramentis or something else?
(dont have any Efficient Training or The Anima Stone)
Got 33 Chaos atm. and perhaps another 20-30 Chaos if I convert other currencies.
My Gear
Edit:
decided to buy a new ring, belt and gloves.. So now I got 930 Str :)
(Still looking for 'next upgrade' advise)
i'd keep going for 1000 str. Haven't looked too much into elemental damage stacking, however flamability would be nice. Also pride doesn't work when running elemental or chaos :(
This would mean that Maim gives 30% and Fortify gives 34%, though we can get perma Fortify by Kingmaker (and free up a socket because we don't need to link it to leap slam).
So in my opinion even with full chaos conversion the Maim weapon is still the weapon to go, though there might be a slightly better alternative.
maybe some poison skill?
i dont checked in pob, but...
void manipulation got 39% more chaos (ofc its after conversion, but maybe better dmg option)
withering touch more 29%, but 25% chance to inflict withered... and its can stack... (PROBLABLY better option)
EDIT:
I just forgot 'maim and fortify' are mods in item... not a gem!
but some boys still using fortify like a gem... maybe 'next phase' are use one of this gems I suggest and got a kingmaker in AG.
At first it was a stop gap but now I think I just may as well keep it until a get a perfect one with Str/life.
Yea, thats a good stop gap solution too. But once you can afford an Empower 4, a crafted mace is like double the damage for your Zombies.
Well not really.
The +1 to all gems only really matters for the Empower and the Zombie skill gem. +1 on the other supports it like 1% DPS increase per support gem.
The +1 for Empower and Zombie is +2 levels which is what +2 spells does. The Mace can get Maim while the Eldar Staff can get Fortify (although rare). They both can get the same enchants.
The Mace gets +1 on the other Zombie Supports. The Staff gets +2 levels on Spectres, Skeletons, Golems, Guardian, Offerings and all Auras. Which honestly a lot better.
The Fortify/+2 Staff is very hard to get but I would argue the +2 staff on its own may well match the Mace if you use both Skeletons and Zombies.
I did the math on a staff the other day. +2 spells + fortify is alot less dps. unless i did some seriously scuffed calculations.

guys i just buyed the astramentis + death attunament.. but doesn't stack with the death attunament in the tree.. i have to unlearn the tree one?
Am i missing something?
sry bad english
Yes after getting the anoinment you despec the 6 points for death attunement. Grats on the neck its a sweet pick up! You can either spec into some of the juicy nodes i picked up on the tree in general to whatever fits your current needs, or get the full scion life wheel for lots of life :D
