Any praticular reason NOT to use Shield Charge with Fortify? It is so much faster too.. just can´t clear gaps :D
Also, still I am very confused on WHY to use both Feeding Frenzy AND Meat Shield on Spectres.. don´t they cancel eachother out?
I love fortify but just a little bit too many sockets, faster casting linked with flame dash is very smooth and it also makes ball of lightning a lot smoother as well. Shield charge without faster attacks is kind of chunky for me personally.
You are using spectres to get feeding frenzy buff to your crawler, plus taunt. The AI doesn't really matter.
Alright makes sense, Meat Shield is I guess so the Spectres would stay alive later maps?
Im using 4link Ball Lightning right now with GMP and 3link for Shield Charge-FasterAttacks-Fortify and it is sooo much faster then flame dash. Only thing is that you can get stuck into objects from time to time.
Well, damn. I have everything in the way of reducing mana reservation that is available to us, except annointing Charisma over Utmost might and losing around 700 ES. 40% CoN, +1 Shapers Touch, Enlighten 4 and every node on the tree we can get.
The problem is I come out at exactly 0 mana when I use Awakened Viscious Projectiles and Vile Toxins instead of Maim and Pierce. Maybe I really have to stay on Pierce even for boss fights where its not needed...
EDIT: Nevermind, solution was easy and cheap:
80c, and now I can use the links.

With the shield charge setup, you "dashing" or "transpasing" between mobs?
I have replaced Maim for awakened vicious projectiles, what would you then replace pierce for on single target? I was thinking possibly culling strike
Hypothermia is the biggest DPS boost for me so I use that for Sirus and Shaper where Pierce does nothing really. Elder and Uber Elder feel pretty bad without Pierce, so I keep it then.
FWIW I threw frost bomb into a CWDT setup for some extra dps/loss of enemy regen
To all the people complaining that its hard to level, just level as any basic summoner. I just ran skeletons and zombies for the longest time. I didn't even buy all of my other gems until I got into white maps. I ran around with 6 sockets empty because I didn't want to take the time to get everything. It was super easy mode.
