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

Can I ask why some are recommending despair over flammability?

Hello fello necromancers.. I got a couple of questions.

I snatched up this decent helmet.

I'm planning on slotting the spectres in this helmet, and running something else in a 6linked Vis Mortis, but no idea what that would be, got any ideas?

Also, how will my spectres fare without the 2% regen from my skullhead? Does it even matter if the spectre gem is lv 20?

That's a wicked helm. I've run without Skullhead with no problems at all, you'll be fine.

6L chest will make damn near anything else you decide to go with pretty damn good. I'd go zombies because I'm lazy and I don't like recasting. :)

Great rare. You can use chest links for variety of extra things: normal skelly or skelly mages (with some threshold jewels), zombies (if you're a fan of zombies), BL with triple curses


2% regen on Skullhead is good for extreme fight like Shaper, Uber Atziri but you can always use good position to draw them away from danger. You never ever need them for normal mapping or normal bosses. It's for TV and WM anyway since they have huge life pool, I heard that SG and the Sentinels have much less life, though. Also, you can always use the new abyss jewels for minion regen (and other OP mods).

Personal preference. I use flammability. Perhaps despair is more flexible when you switch to other non-fire spectres

i take abyss jevel with 0.8% minion life regen. you can take some of them and have lot of minion regen.

I must be doing something horribly wrong.. I'm currently level 64, using Spectres and Zombies and SRS.. but my Spectres just die so fast. Even with skullhead they die extremely fast. I dont have Soul Weaver yet, I have to do merc lab, but I feel like I do something wrong that I cant keep my spectres alive. They get oneshotted as well often. I always resummon them in a new area so they have the right level.. but no help :/. I really want to play this build but I dont know what I can do..

I'd have a look at your character, but it's set to private.

My bad, its public now. My spectre links are just like that because it didnt matter what I picked, they still die so fast :/ Its just to level animate guardian atm..

Hi!

Just have a quick dumb question - where exactly does the non-fire elemental damage come from that procs elemental equilibrium for the specters to exploit ?

Thanks !

So are WM still worth useing? What specs are best in 3.1?

I don't have a VM yet so I can only run with 3 spectres for now and I've been going back and forth between Solar Guards/TV/WM.

I'm currently using 2x TV and 1x WM and really like it, I think once I finally do get a VM I'll probably opt for 3x TV and 1x WM. Wickers were nerfed but are still useful for clear speed, if you want to just blow through maps though I think Solars might be a bit better right now.
