Hey guys i'm totally new to this kind of build so i need some help. I'm lv 28 now, trying to lvling with spectre but they seem pretty weak. My links are RS- LMP- minion damage- minion life- minion speed but their damage seems low so it's hard to defence themselves even though there are 5 zombie along with them. They don't have enough DPS to clear out mobs before getting themselves dominated and killed. Did i do something wrong ? I used both flame sentinal and srs. Any tips appreciated xD

I just did my first Uber Lab (ever) tonight! I know it's old hat for all you vets but it sure was exciting to survive it the first time! I went with 4 TV and a slow, careful pace. I survived a couple close calls with the boss but otherwise I just ran around in circles and suddenly he was dead! Wow those totems are awesome!

My plan is to stick with 4 TV and eventually pick up the Golem gems and helm to go with them, instead of switching back to SG for their clear speed. Melting bosses with totems is just too much fun. Is anyone else running 3 Flame Golems and 4 TV?

you don't want to map with 4TV, they are just too slow, try SG first, when you hit guardian and shaper later you can switch to TV + golem.

Yeah, you are right, after a few maps SG is much smoother. But they still feel slow against bosses. Is that just the trade off, or is it time to upgrade from Advancing Fortress to Scourge?

I'm still looking for a replacement for Rathpith, too, but the life / mana on block shields are crazy expensive, and anything with 50+ block to spells still comes out as a net loss in life or resists.
