Does anyone know if this ring is a good one to run for the TV/VM spectres?

does the cold damage to fire break EE?

Not a good ring for us. The converted to fire damage will sabotage our minions EE by boosting the fire resist on monsters we hit... unless you can ensure you are doing zero cold damage.

Also, the increased burning damage doesn't transfer over to the spectres. So basically you're left with a ring with below average resistances.

Why are we using "Increased Minion Damage if you have used a minion skill recently" ? I'm not using a lot of minion skill, I only have the raise zombie but I'm not using it often..

Also, what are the best stats I'm looking for on jewels if I want to switch to solar guards ?
Thank you for your time.

I'm insanely confused on the leveling part. Around 28 you say to spec flame sentinels into a 4link?

Just found this shield on xbox, looks pretty good to me, should I replace it with my phoenix shield then also replace my lazhwar amulet ?

Bone / Flesh offering are minion skills. You should be casting these frequently.

For Solar Guards, you can add the Increase Minion Attack / Cast speed mods, which makes buying jewels significantly cheaper.

Yes. Put Raise Spectre / Lesser Multiple Projectiles / Minion Damage into a 4L. You probably can't use the other support gems at this point, so leave the 4th slot empty.

Then use the Raise Spectre skill on some flame sentinel corpses.

NICE drop. I'd do exactly that. Make sure your have Mind over Matter and enough mana to support it, and enjoy!

So for the 3.1 version of this build where you are running 4 TV's for pure DPS, what are the stat rolls you want on the jewels placed into the skill tree?

Is it still the following in this order of importance:
- % Max Life
- Minion Damage
- Minion Life
- Resists
- Dexterity

Depends. The first one will always be either percent life or mana, depending on what your ratio is and whether you have taken Mind over Matter.

Minion Damage / Minion Damage if you have used a minion skill recently are pretty much equal.

Minion Life is getting into the questionable territory. My minions die so seldom, I actually pulled some minion life nodes off the tree... so I wouldn't invest into that myself. Minion resists falls into the same category.

Dex never hurts. :)

% max life?

nope, flat HP is better. 40-50
