Where does the +2 come from? 83 = map level 5 = +5 level strongbox 2 = rare mob Rare mobs are not 2 levels higher, they just drop items 2 levels higher. In addition, I've never seen any evidence that +5 level strongboxes spawn monsters above map level, only that they drop items above map level. As far as I know, 84 is the highest level spectre obtainable in the game. If someone else has proof to the contrary, I'd love to see it.

Yeah something is def wrong after the patch. I had 0 problems getting my specters in any of the listed maps at all. Now I can't get them. I am forced to run white maps with the ones from act 6 and 10. I have tried every single map on the list, including wasting a shaper set and couldn't even get 1 wickerman or vanguard in any of them after wasting hours last night. I really don't know what happened. I had no issues before, I've tried every trick in the stupid book. Shelfing this character until this is hopefully resolved.

As pointed out by TKZ100 I was wrong to assume rare/magic mobs have higher monster level. It is just the items they drop. Might be the same for strongboxes, so I have changed the main post.	Posted by Natt#5761 on Oct 14, 2017, 9:49:01 PM Quote this Post

" LaplaceNoMa wrote: Tried HotG again - with T17 TVs and one WM. All wings are easy until the last part with lvl90+ GMs. Got totally obliterated again by another caustic arrow user - Sidrachaos. I had a shaper's realm with both TV and WM in Templar's laboratory, and actually took the time to get the party twice more, and still couldn't kill her. So... I don't think it's worth going in on HC just yet. This needs some more brainwork. Maybe the chaos res cluster near Witch's starting point? It's only +20% chaos res, but I think it might make the difference. From what I know, those 20% chaos res is the only chaos res for minion in the game. Another option is using the 'flasks affect minions' unique belt with some good amethyst flask. Seriously, idk. Can anyone please explain in layman's terms how to complete HotG without replacing all of our gear, and going with Scorching ray with pretty much the usual TV/WM support gems in 6l? Also, mika2salo offered an interesting approach in his Flame Golem 101 build using Sai crafted with essence of insanity, which grants a special version of SRS which are totally immune to damage. I'm the kind of player who doesn't really go all out with 'alts', and I pretty much 'main' this necro, and I would hate not being able to complete some of the content. :\ I didn't level with TV and WM. When I did the quests in Lunaris temple in act 8? I got frozen/pummeled by some Sentinels. So I thought, well now, that's what I need! So I ran with those until lvl 70ish. They shoot far as hell, 4 of em with GMP will cover the screen. Actually, faster proj might be a good idea since they're pretty fast in HotG. but the rest might be ele focus, fire pen, controlled destruction, the usual. And since they hit, united in dream might not be a bad swap if you can afford it. Just my 2cents. I'm pretty new at PoE, but I think I'd give it a go with that. One other thing I'd like to mention about united in dream. I don't understand why it wouldn't work for WM at least. As I understand it, WM use RF. RF actually hits. So it should work with WM, right?

For maps I know overgrown ruins (t15) has chance (not too high) to spawn both. Shaper's realm (t17) has that chance too. If you wait a little bit, the patch in next week will allow us to summon TV and WM in ANY maps. How do you know this?	Posted by skynxnex#1272 on Oct 15, 2017, 3:24:38 AM Quote this Post

Hi. I always wanted to kill Shaper but never achieve this (killed Uber Atziri 2-3 times but it was long time ago). Now Im leveling Spectres necromancer (SRS atm, soon switching to spectres) for this but its abit confusing for me so just wanted to clarify one thing. In next week after desecrate changes how to get Vanguards and Wicked in any map? I have to go first to area with them (act 6 and 10?) then make spectres, enter map and keep desecrating till I get their corpses?	Posted by Asag#1815 on Oct 15, 2017, 5:33:36 AM Quote this Post
