[3.x - Discontinued for now] Burning Spectres - Torch the Atlas - HC Shaper, Elder, Uber Atziri

Regarding the leveling process I'd say that it's better to transition late into Spectres. During Turmoil I transitioned after lvl 60 (needed the chaos recipe for Bones of Ullr) which included Soul Weaver, a self-found Skullhead (minion reg) and quite some minion life% and life reg nodes from the tree due to the level. Death count for all Spectres for the entirety of Turmoil: Zero.

This time I tried to incorporate them early (@lvl38 Flame Sentinels with GMP and Spell Echo) and go for the other 3 ascendancy nodes first. They died all the time. Abysses were often lethal for them. Well they probably are for most players, which I like. However it was quite annoying with them. I had to resort to my 4L SRS (which I favored regarding the +1 helm) to clean bigger stuff.

Now after the full transition (SRS into Ball Lightning setup), most clear speed is fine, the Spectres (now SGs) don't die anymore, however they really struggle with dps on a 4L against those crazy regenerating Abyss rares. And I don't feel like swapping my Slower Projectiles from my shield-less second weapon set in ;)


On another note, about boot enchants:
I suppose the one I got should be quite good for triggering EE on Shield Charge because I never kill, right? I used to aim for cold/lightning damage on some other slot.

Hi, guys .
I have 2 question's:
1. Wickerman RF dps bursted from minion life? and how much?
2. MB better make full wickerman spectres build with Bloodbond and Wraithlord and Minion life gem?

minion life dont affect to minion dps

What am I doing wrong with my current necro?! My specters are dying like flies. Played this build during the last league and it went just fine.
Now it's kind of strange. I am only running tier2/tier3 maps and they hardly make it.

Looking forward to any kind of improvement on my character :'(


Thanks in advance

Use this checklist.
• I'm I desecrating a highest level of corpse for that zone? i.e. get a lvl 19 desecrate
• I'm I then raising the highest level corpse that I have access to?
• Do I have the soul weaver node? If not get it.

You only need to summon your spectres once till they die or you want to change them.
SO get a a shaper portal from someone and summon them after! you summoned the inital spectres in their zones. (thats important)


I've got another thing to ask.
Is it possible to swap the weapons out from your animated guardian? i have 1 dyadus and the little brother of starforge (cant remember the name)
But everytime i drop another dydaus, he replaces the old one. Do i have to swap both weapons at once?

Another thing, does #% increased area damage count towards your wicker mans?

This build is still better than most. Even if you don't like the nerfs, you can still run Solar Guards and clear maps faster than the original TVs and WM.

Thanks for response , what specters should i look for until i can get these ?

I personally take Flame Sentinel (act 3 solarist temple level 1), with spell echo-GMP-minion damage. Then use it all the way until act 8 and change to solar guards.

There are not quite good minions before act 8. Act 5 kitava's herald may be OK but recoloring is annoying.

Hey, i just got Dual Curse, running Enfeeble at the moment and wonder what would be a good second curse for WM / TV? I wanted depsair.. but its currently bugged and cant be applyed with Curse on Hit :s what do you guys think would be the best for DMG then?

i found that relinquarian in ACT5 is quite powerful as well, quite big area damage with lmp projectile, sadly it doesnt seem to be able to desecrate, so probably not a endgame option

So is Solar guards or wickerman best for aoe clear now?

ATM im 80Solar Guard necro with tabula and some shit gear but theres no problem with ~t11 maps ...

But i got question did anyone try the reliq mobs form reliquery?

Thank you so much! I fucked up! I sold my "high level" desecrate by mistake and but the low level one back into the item piece.... Lessons learned...

Thank you though, for the check list. Appreciate it!
