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

whats the stat priority for jewels?

Hey im currently leveling this on SSF, everything is going fine, running with 3 solar guards and the clear speed and single target for mapping is great. Only thing that bothers me is the really bad movement speed/attack speed which makes whirling blades almost impossible to use and the character just feel really clunky. Im running with vaal haste, flesh offering, quick silver and silver flask but it feels like its not enough.. It feels like im missing something...

Gear:

Use brightbeak, I leveled with advancing fortress, switched to brightbeak, tried scourge briefly (too slow and the wolves don't spawn on specters that hit) went back to brightbeak never going to look back. The speed is crazy.

Oh yeah I killed Shaper with 2 SG and 2 canibals no specter died just the golem. Damage was pretty good. My first successful one ever so you know I suck at it.

Well, I made the switch and am currently running 3 FG's + 3 TV"s with a 6L Belly. I took a bit of a leap of faith as I was pretty content with my 2 SG + 2 TV setup with a 5L Mortis, but If you have the Ex to spare for FG's, it's totally worth it.

My gear:

emmm but you not use AG. Why? AG get you triple increase damage for TV!

No real good reason honestly, I just didn't originally have the gem slots for it and still don't have it unless I make some changes.

Anyone completed Hall of Grandmasters with this build? Can it be done only with TVs? Are they strong enough to tank through lvl 95+ grand masters? Should we use other spectres / setup for this map?

I did HOTGM last night with 2 TV's + 2 SG's for most of the encounters. It's pretty easy for this build with the one caveat being to run away and resummon a lot, and never push the stairs, rather lure one or two to your minions.

Has anyone done uber atziri? Any specific tips and tricks for not bricking the key? I'm running the 3 FG + 4 TV variation with an Advancing Fortress. I'm debating whether or not to buy a Scourge to increase my success chance even more.

My profile is set to public, maybe someone could take a look if I should upgrade something before attempting it. Thanks!

Hey, I am level 90. This is my equipment, every piece has been 20-40c or less.

I get that I still need the Scourge and the 6L Vis mortis and 20/20 or whatever gems.

But should I upgrade anything else? I was thinking of the anvil as an amulet with +1 curse, to get even more blockchance, 78/75. Is there any other thats good for my situation? Any help appreciated.

Right now I have , 6563 life, 1235 ES and 2613 mana, which is 9766,9 eHP. Almost 10k :).

IMO if I can use brightbeak I would rather use Scourge instead. In this build our characters are the weakest link in DPS department, in other words, our damage/attack speed dont matter.

Now we compare benefits from them. With scourge you get around 100+% minion dps, which is huge considering we rely 100% on minion dps.

With Advancing fortress you get 15% block chance and 8% spell block(if you have 50% block apply to spell), getting max block is the core mechanic of this build. Not only that, it provides innate Fortify support which further reduce damage taken by whopping 20% with no gem slot cost.

With Brightbeak you get 2 resistances which we already easily capped, faster attack speed which doesn't matter much because we always need to wait for minions to clear.

Even after you reached max block and fortify slot I still found many other options better than Brightbeak, like Mon'tregul's Grasp which can give us great meat shield with ok dps.

I knew it wouldn't be very fast but I'm surprised how bad the clear is, even with brightbeak. I understand why people use golems. What can I do to improve it without losing too much dps?
