Congrats Exile. Unfortunatley my shaper run didn't go as well as yours :( IDK what to do

Shaper is doable with your current gear imo, just try to get level 20 Desecrate gem and some %hp minion regen. Increasing by 3 the lvl of your TVs will make a big difference.

%hp minion Regen on what?

Actually, I pulled increased duration out of my BO links. I run so many jewels that require a minion skill recently anyway, I should be casting BO regularly anyway.

Did you try to put Empower on it? It benefits you more than tempest shield IMO.

Can you explain why?

As far as I can tell, Empower boosts BO by 1%, while tempest shield boosts it by 3%.

with a Lvl 4 empower

(Lvl 23 vs lvl 20 BO = + 1% block chance + 2% spell block chance + 150 life gained on block

or

Lvl 24 vs lvl 21 BO = + 2% block chance + 1% spell block chance + 150 life gained on block)

+3 to level of the other active gems (like flesh offering)

that is better than 3% block chance in my case, but maybe not for you idk.

Cant understand. I have Tukohama's Fortress and Necromantic Aegis. TV still have only 1 totem, what im doing wrong?

All guardians down. Currently at level 90.

Died like 4 or 5 times with the Minotaur and the Hydra, I believe because this is my first time killing the guardians and I don't know the mechanics very well.

Now I only have the last chapter of this league, kill the Shaper, but I think I have to level my character to 94 minimum to reach more life, because I'm currently at 5.7k and 1k ES.

Also If I have lvl 83 spectres and I play lower maps, their level drops and I will have to spawn them again at higher maps or they stay at the same level?

They no longer lower their level to map level.

This got nerfed. Sell dat shield asap, it doesn't work anymore.

What's the general strategy for uber atziri and the big hits?

I just made my first attempt at her with this build and would have facking killed her if my specters didnt get killed right before she began the healing phase. Twice. Almost killed the bitch three times.

Sometimes it seems my specters can tank the stuff and twice I looked up and its just my happy ass vs atziri.

Should I try and use convocation for the big flameblasts and empowered storm call? Seems like when they died it had to have been a crit or they had just been hit by something else recently.


Anyway, fun build and looking forward to ironing it out for the end game.

A few things. There's no way you are maxed on fire resist for your spectres, especially given her extra 10% fire pen, and the 110% more spell damage for each stage isn't helping.

So first up, I'd grab Herd of the Flock on the tree to boost your specs resists a bit more.

Then get some jewels that boost your spectre damage. The ones you have absolutely do not work with Tukohama's Vanguards. You need minion % damage increased, not X to X additional damage. With good jewels, chances are your damage output would have been enough to kill her.

Also, quality out your Clarity - that increases the range of the aura, so your minions are more likely to be covered by the Commander of Darkness resist boost.
