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

So as a leaguestarter and ive never played summoner before. Is there a noticeable difference between this and the "Spectral Gods: Disco!" guide in terms of easy to level/execute?

Guys, buy jewels. They are dirt cheap and a massive upgrade. I spent 6c today on these:

So you are saying that cast speed and attack speed are the best jewels?

This build looses some dps if going solar guards but keeps access to max block and spell block, which is the most OP defense in the game.

Though it does not really matter what spectre build you go for as it is fairly easy and cheap to swap between them.

Anyone else using Unending Hunger for Soul Eater effect?
Is it worth it IYO?

Yes.. they are so cheap .. cause no life on it.. but nice dmg boost :)

With MoM, those mana mods count as extra life. I'm well below my life:mana threshold.

Not at all. These might not turn out to be my last set of jewels.

However, in 3.0, buying tri-mod jewels was an exalt or more each. Decent dual mod jewels cost 10-15c each. In 3.1, we can buy tri-mod so cheap it's worth picking some up much earlier, even if you're just going to use them for leveling. Hell, if I'd noticed the prices a couple weeks ago, I'd have prioritised jewel sockets long ago.

Could just be me. :)

Gem priority for 5l?

Throw out minion and totem resistance, cause it's most miniscule damage gem out of all, and resistances most of the time capped anyway.

I am running the following helm:



for TV's.


I also have a 5L Vis Mortis. What would be the priority if I want to stick 2 SG's in there for mapping? I assume Spectre, GMP, Fire Pen, Echo, Minion Life (or Damage?)

So, when should we start mapping? I've gotten to maps but having trouble doing Tier 1s, the spectres simply die to any hard pack. Abysses are simply impossible to do right now. And as far as I know I have acquired every node that buffs minions on the tree.

I recently switched to 2 TVs + wicker man to see if they would fare better and it's the same thing, map goes fine until a hard hitting pack shows up and gibs them.

Any pointers?

I had the same problem until I noticed my desecrate level was too so I was spawning low level spectres, also I think you still need to spam desecrates once in the map to get higher spectres levels, finally poitions to heal an amount to your minion really helped me keeping them alive.

Guys are you using "The Scourge" as endgame weapon? It provide an important boost?

I'm using "Advancing Fortress" and works pretty well...so i don´t know if i should change.
