Thanks for the response, yes, one of my options I'm considering is definitely heiro totems. I'm concerned about the early game price of the related uniques though and love necro survivability, so not sold yet.

Can anyone confirm whether solar guards can survive reflect maps?

I'm testing this character on standard as a potential league starter for next league, getting myself acquainted with spectre mechanics, etc. Things were going smoothly until I started trying to hit some red maps and my spectres started getting shredded by bosses. I've got a level 20 spectre gem, Vis Mortis, Skullhead, all my ascendancy points taken, t13 spectres, 75% res on them, and they were getting fucked up by a t12 shaped ashen wood boss and a t13 shaped atoll boss. I've seen them tanking shaper and uber so I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Any ideas? My profile is public, character OnAccountOfThePoison.

Hi!
Can someone please confirm the base resists of animated guardian for me?
This guide says 40/40/40/20, while the wiki says 25/25/25/0. Which info is the outdated one?

Also, can the animated guardian use "The Bringer of Rain" ("Can't use chest armour") together with a chest armour? Or will the chest armour's effects be disabled? Or will the chest be destroyed as if having been equipped another chest over it?


And if someone could clarify why the guide implies "Chance to Ignite" can be used with these spectres, that would be great too. Afaik it only affects hits which the scorching rays and righteous fires are not.

I'm looking to find a strong alch-vaal-go T15/T16 mapping build for a 3.2 league starter. Can the Solar Guards hold up in ele reflect maps? If not, will I rip out my hair waiting for the TVs and Wickers to clear?

Thanks!

Classic mistake! Lvl 14 descecrate. This results in lower lvl spectres. Get a lvl 20 asap and go get some shaper lvl spectres.

Your troubles will be over.

I knew it would be something simple like that! I know a lot about this game but spectres are a black hole to me. This is why I test and practice builds before league start, gotta get these kinks worked out. Thanks so much, time to go test em out.
