Just went over the Necromantic Aegis topic above. Solar Guards vs Tukohama's Vanguards is definitely a dead horse, but we can beat on it a little longer. Clearing, SG > TV. Bosses, TV > SG. Overall? Depends on who you talk to. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD Feel free to message me in game if I'm on.	Posted by grimjack68#6087 on Jan 6, 2018, 8:35:27 PM Quote this Post

Then add Rumi's flask, and I'm at 71/75. Then add The Anvil, and I'm at 78/78. I'd be all over the Anvil if it had Dex. As it is, with two unset rings with dex on them, I need dex on amulet. That, or I spend a passive point on 30 dex : / I feel like my set up is not optimal and I'm wasting the potental of using a Rumi's to block cap. Spending a passive point on dex is a tough sale for me though : /, but the Anvil would be amazing. My ammy and shield: I could change my gloves for ones with dex. Don't need so much lightning On further thought, I don't need the Anvil. I'm at 59/57 with Bone offering and no spell block shaped ammy. A rumi's would cap me. I picked up Just now though. Might go dual curse ammy. The big bonus to Anvil isn't the extra block, that's just the gravy. The big bonus is the life / mana gained on block. I can sit in the middle of abyss mobs doing literally nothing but casting bone offering - I rarely take damage to start with, and when I do, I regain the life nearly instantly. The extra armour is nice too - I'm up to 4528 armour without any flasks running. If I pop these two it goes up a whole lot more: I've put 4 points into Dex on the tree, Expertise + Agility, which is 3 points, as well as the 10 node just to the right of Combat Stamina. plus I have 43 more on my gloves. I wanted to be able to use a max level Haste aura. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD Feel free to message me in game if I'm on.	Posted by grimjack68#6087 on Jan 6, 2018, 8:43:26 PM Quote this Post

My gear Map with Solar Guards, use undying hunger. Only use TV's for hard bossing (T16/17 imo). Solarguards is a completely different support gem set up in chest... The Op leads us to believe the burning Specters are just fine. In fact it's what the build thread is about. They're kinda...not. Not for clear speed anyways. But uh....changing chest colors again and again can't be the answer : /. I don't know anyone who does ONLY t16 bosses or ONLY mapping. I'm pretty underwhelmed and annoyed. As you can see, I'm heavily invested. Colors match though so it's really not a big deal to swap tbh.	Posted by mknzee#2121 on Jan 6, 2018, 9:21:01 PM Quote this Post
Hit level 90 with 4 TV + 3 FG setup. My map clear speed is okay, bossing is obviously due to TVs. Does anyone run 3 FG and 4 SG? I also got my hands on a 6l vis mortis finally and got my FG all gemmed up in there.	Posted by SolemnKnight#1370 on Jan 6, 2018, 9:40:45 PM Quote this Post
I'm having a great time with 4 TV + 3 FG, but I'm curious...would it make sense for me to slot spectres into this helmet instead of the flame golems?	Posted by fookolt#6138 on Jan 6, 2018, 10:10:34 PM Quote this Post

The extra armour is nice too Excuse my newbiesness, The Anvil grants 40 life and 20 mana per block, to me its very trivial, what mechanic it offers to amplify life/mana gains that you can face tank mobs at same time regen so quickly?? I have around 7k life, to my understanding each block I gain 40 life back? how many blocks I can do at the same time? even if I can do 10 blocks a second, I still only received like 400 life back? my life regen can top that easily, so I do not understand how you can regain 7k life nearly instantly with the Anvil...

OK so the consensius seems to be to run 3 FG +4 TV for clearing/boss ? What are the shit requires to do that? Playing in hardcore its my first spectre guy and im having some hard time deciding what the fuc* to do. While i build this build to kill boss'es. Ill be spending a lot of time farming map. I need lvls.And seems like these totem guy are slow at clearing. The op seems to have old video of frost sentinel or like,firebreather etc,are those still usable? Or lets get straight to the point, can anyone upload some video of them or stream a bit with 3 FG + 4 TV . Im curious what the clearspeed looks like. Id be so thankful.

So I changed to Commander of Darkness, bought new shield with spell block chance. With Bone offering my block is 71/62, seems ok, maybe I buy Rumi's Concoction Granite Flask to increase it.	Posted by Potemnik#0947 on Jan 7, 2018, 2:20:29 AM Quote this Post

Uber need TV because reflection will kill SG. I don't even need to swap my gem to Slower Protective when I kill Shaper because I'm too lazy to do it. As someone said before, use 2 Unending Hunger and your clear speed will be boosted a lot.	Posted by GiangCute#0176 on Jan 7, 2018, 3:14:40 AM Quote this Post
