Hello,
Im only at 22% Block Chance (Shield) and 17% with bone offering.
How can i reach 70%?
Advancing fortress gives only 15%. Thats Not enought.

have a look at my setup. i reach 75/63 block/spellblock with rumis + bone and my gear.

Ive also taken the shield block nodes in the passive tree.

eventually ill buy a spellblock shaped shield and amulet.

So it's been pretty easy trying to get max 75/75 block. I also have projectile attacks and spells at 75/75. Did not need to use a reckless defence jewel either.

Also planning to use a Darkness Enthroned belt and was wandering what minion mods I should get on the ghastly jewels to make it the most effective?

hey dude have a look at my belt - im using darkness enthroned. from that belt i get 90hp and something like 130% res. Later I will exalt those jewels too.

Hey thanks for the advice but I was more so looking for the best minion mods for the jewel to have on the belt (including the player life) as I am still res capped without a belt.

Hey, just got that helmet, it's any good to use with this build ? o.O

I am 88 running Solar Guards with 5L pierce. While I like the clear speed I couldnt beat elder so I wanna return or make a 2nd setup for TV+WM.

I saw some posts at these spectres were nerfed? Whats the truth?
I mean wickers.

And regarding TV, the players have a bug with SR totems not stacking atm. Does that affect also spectres?

Regards

PS Can I make any change so I can summon [more] wolves from the scourge?
PS 2 Regardless if Ill stick with SOlar guards or TV/WM, is elder helmet actually BiS for both builds?

When should you switch to WM/Vanquard? I am currently running only Solars but as pointed out single target is bad. What is the best setup for lab? 2 WM/2 Vanguard or 2 Solar?
Is it even still worth it using wickermen oder solar?

First time running as a necromancer and i am in love so far. I have been farming atziri, done 90/157 in atlas so far and i've reached a point where i don't know what i should do gear wise next. What should be my next 3 upgrades/improvements apart from the obvious 6linked chest?

What tier map is this variation allowing you to do? I am considering respecing some points to go your way and skip the painful rare gems it requires to build this.

I am new to the game, but I've been investigating, I could have a couple of suggestions: as it is complicated to get those build recommended jewels, why don't you try thr legendary jewels?
- Unending Hunger. SPECTRE PERCS
- Violent Dead. +DAMAGE AND MORE ZOMBIE SLAMS

You should set them in the socket in between Mind over matter and elemental equilibrium, and the other one near Lord of the Dead.

Another minor recomendation could be that you add a point on the free slot near Death Attunement: Minion Damage and Life Leech. That 10% extra damage is really good!

Let me know if you try this!

anyone noticed DPS loss for Tukohama Vanguards because of the Scorching Ray Bug? https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2098905/page/1

Wickers were nerfed 2-3 season's ago now, but it doesn't matter anymore as you go Solar Guards in a 5-link chest for mapping and then TV's in a 5-link chest for bossing. You can simply just go TV's for mapping as well, their just slower, that's all.

The SR issues in general and SR totems not stacking issue is I believe only a problem for those who self-cast them. I've not seen any issues or bug reports about minions or specters who raise them having damage issues, or lack there of.

Great build, having fun so far :D

One question though, seems that we have a big pool of gems/abilities to use, do people switch out as needed? Because summoning alone is at least 3 skills, and then you got the two offering spells, movement, aura, desecrate, golem and damage(ball lightning) etc.. Can't fit it all in the slots :(

hey dude. once your spectres are summoned take them off your hotkey. I played this build for a few leagues ill tell my hotkey setup

left click walk
right click whirling blades (movement skill)
Q is raise zombie (these die because im using minion dmg instead of minion life but easy to resummon)
W is arc to spread my flammability and proc EE
E is convocation
R is bone offering
middle mouse key (i rebound it to V) is desecrate

Interesting, thanks for the hotkey setup :) Was thinking there is some skills in this build that you don't need on the bar once used, so I guess I just have to get used to that.

Not sure, but I feel a little slow in maps when moving around with whirling blades? Anything I should do, or just try to optimize keeping silver flask and offering up?
