Well thansk for the answer. Theres so many variant its hard for a new specter guy to absorb all the info at once. I just hit 70 on hc, and every bit of info im getting is helping.

Would you mind telling me,what kind of setup do you run in your AG for clear speed? I read it somewhere but totally forgot. Ill be running 4sg,since i just want to get some quick lvls.

OP should have it in his AG section on first page.

AG doesn't make a difference for clear speed. Only matters on bosses. I just ran several test runs, timing each one, and the clear speed up until the boss was average *exactly* the same.

For Tukohama's Vanguards I use: Dual Dyadus axes, Bringer of Rain, Icetomb, Ranbowstride, and rare gloves with resists and life.

For Solar Guards I use: Dying Breath, Leer Cast, Zahn's Cassock, Victario's Charity, and rare gloves with resists and life.

Just got new piece of good amulet but lost ability to have 2 curses up, does it matter big if I have 1 or 2 curses on boss? which1 to keep now, flammability or EW?

Doesn't really make much of a difference, to be honest, as long as you have a curse in there. EW absolutely wins if you have other party members doing other types of elemental damage, though.

What's the 6 link gem setup if we run 4 solar guards?

Raise Spectre / Spell Echo / Minion Damage / Greater Multiple Projectiles / Elemental Focus / Controlled Destruction.

Swap out GMP for Point Blank or Slower Projectiles when you need more single target damage.

Is it normal for the animate guardian to be gone when you log out then come back online a few hours later? Someone said drop items in your hideout to summon him but when I try and do that that game says "you can't do that will destroy item"

Is there anyway to fix this?

Also, does stone golem regenerate minion health?

It is normal for the AG to vanish on logout. You just need to cast the AG spell again, he will re-appear with all his gear intact.

You can't drop items in town or hideout to summon him, you need to do it in a map.

Stone golem only regenerates your health. Not that it matters, the spectres regain plenty - if they ever get hurt in the first place, which they really don't seem to.

If you're running SG, you do not really need AG. Better spend your exalts on good abyss jewels. It's the real big deal with SG. I often disable AG for big fights like guardians and elders and SG still rekt them kinda easily. My AG were destroyed like twice by Elder's final blast (what the hell, GGG?) so I do not want to waste time to re-buy everything. He's kinda good for clearspeed thanks to the boots and somewhat good for regen on consecrated ground.

I prefer SG this league mainly due to the scalability of them with good abyss jewels. Your wallet is the real limit for them. TV is more difficult. Their damage is kinda ridiculous already and only AG gives noticeable boost.

I am thinking of using the extra empty sockets without AG. Perhaps a skelly spell totem/self cast for added damage in boss fight? Anyone try to a 5L/6L skelly with this setup?

Point Blank Support gem does not work with spell (neither does Point Blank keystone). Or is there any change I did not notice?

Slower Projectile or Pierce is good choice. Though moving bosses like Hydra can be a headache, but it's the same with TV anyway.

I killed Shaper yesterday, first time ever, with my 4xSG setup.
The build works pretty fine, but my AG died in the first Shaper encounter. He died in a minute or so, even using Skullhead and using lvl 20 AG with minion life lvl 20 + empower lvl 3.

Also have a +2 minion level bone helmet, but seems more squishy with this setup. (Whitout the %regen and block from skull...)

So how do you manage guys to survive your AG in these hard bosses?

Am I doing something wrong?

First time playing spectres, loving it so far!
I am currently working towards purchasing the golem jewels+a good helmet. What do I cut to make room for the golem setup? Also is it possible to run MF gear+golems or is this too greedy? :)

This was my second last map on the atlas before i did shaper. Wrecked the HOGM spectres easily raised again after CA builds kill them.

4 TV + 3 Flame Golems Variant.
