how does a pure sg build match up to fg for map clear kinda also everyones builds look nothing like the op build kinda confused

That's one of the fantastic traits of this build - it's so flexible, once you grasp the basic principles, you can mod it in a ton of ways.

Pure SGs map clear at least as fast as FGs, and they are safer as they target at a longer range.

Hi

Vulnerability or flammability curse works better with 4 TV-s? I think vulnerability better, because the cursed mob take extra physical dmg from zombies, and inc. dot from TV-s totems. That's right?
Thank you!

Nope. Vulnerability doesn't affect DOT unless it's physical, and zombie damage is trivial by comparison to your spectres.

Flammability is the goto curse. Elemental Weakness if you are playing in a party, and they do damage types other than fire.

Meaby it's a matter of own playstyle but one consideration that can be made is dropping Arc/CoH/GMP, manually casting the curse and for the remaining gem slots use CWDT + Immortal Call that is really useful in many situations. To trigger EE you can use Whirling Blades/Shield Charge with some adds +X cold/lightning damage to attacks somewhere in your gear so with your moving skill you actually trigger EE and Fortify at once.

Certainly an option. Not great at cursing large groups, but large groups usually don't need it anyway, they die fast enough without the curse. Does require you to be up close and personal with the big bosses, though!

I cant reach life/hp like 6/4 , I have at lvl 92 6200 life and 2100 mana wtf?? I take items by ur build.

Well, first of all, most of your items have no +mana. Your jewels let you juggle this a fair bit as well - try looking for ones with life, mana, and one minion mod.

@Feurn
Could you share your defensive stats?

No problem. Stats with Bone offering up, because its always up. I get max block with rumi's flask.

Still a lot of place i could get better gear, but still killed everything in the game (didnt try Chayula).

Thanks :)

Guys is it normal that spectres die fast on HoGM?, they didn't die on shaper but died just from one archer, literally one shoted :/

The Chaos degen archer? I've played that build. It's brutal. Fun to play, but not so fun to play when you have to fight AGAINST it. The chaos guys in HOTG are tough to beat with this build. Block doesn't help, because Caustic Arrow is a ground effect, so it ignores armour, energy shield, and you / your minions don't get any healing from blocking.

Best option I've found is to switch spectres, to be honest. Go in with a couple TVs and a couple SGs, if you run into the chaos guy drop back and resummon until you are completely SGs.

There are other tactics you can use as well... pull your GMP off your COH setup, and put in faster projectiles with ball lightning instead. That way you can run away, fire one down the hall, and often aggro just one guy at a time.

has anyone tried the frost senti's for map clearing over sg

What are you life / mana numbers? You've skipped a bunch of life and mana nodes on your tree, so I'm guessing you may be low enough that you can't tank a big hit.

Flame golem isn't useful. It boosts *your* damage. Not your minion's damage. Mind you, stone golem at level 20 only gives you 105 life / second regen, which really isn't that much either.

4,746 life, 933 ES, 1200 mana (1,994 without arctic armour and clarity)

I'm not tied to using the flame golems...it just looked interesting when I started playing this build. I could swap to zombie or skeletons and peel back some of the jewel nodes on my tree to get more HP nodes. I could also start using animate guardian again. With the +level shield and empower, AG is lvl 27.

So I 0 experience playing summoner. I'm new to poe this league so forgive this ridiculously noob question...

I leveled an elementalist to 70 and decided I'd reroll to this build. So I've changed the passives but here's my noob question:

I know I'm supposed to go kill some sokars in act 8 but I do like 100dps with ball lightning so even killing these mobs is a challenge. When I do raise dead my minions get 2 shot. What have I missed?

what level is your desecrate as your raise spectre will be of the level of the bodys you make on the floor or the max level of that zone


what you want to do is have a level 20 desecrate.
Then go to the zone you want the mobs from so solars temple in act 8. ( you should not need to kill anything )
Then spam desecrate until you can raise the right mob you only need one of them.
Now you need to go to the highest zone you can and spam desecrate again until now you have all 4 of them
