Just wanted to warn people ...

Second times I am Wasting an Overgrown Ruins map to find T15 specters.
No mod on this map, I enter it with 2 wicker and 2 vanguards and I start desecrating ... Half an hour (I checked time), I found 5 vanguards and NO wicker man.
Please updtae the map list.

I opened several times overgrown ruins and summoned both the spectres. That map has a wide monster variety, so it just takes a very long time to summon them.
Even in Shaper's realm, you can find the 2 spectres but it will take forever, like 5 minutes spamming each zone

Ive desecrated both from 2min to 25min in overgrown ruin map multiple times, rng is random.

Enjoying it alot but I have three questions.

- Do I drop zombies when I switch to spectres?

- Where does the block come from, I have 30% nowhere close to 70%.

- Which curses are recommended for general mapping/bossing?

You can drop zombies if you're socket-starved, the hardly do any damage but I like having them for the extra physical damage reduction via Flesh Binder ascendancy trait.

Block mostly comes from Bone Offering. Bone offering's lv20 = +35/+34 block chance. So lets say 25% from shield + 15% from claw (Advancing Fortress) + 35% from Bone Offerings = 75%. Stone of Lazhwar converts 50% of that to spell combines with bone offering.

I personally go with Flammability. Most people do.

Edit: Plus 5% block from the tree going for Solidity notable.

Hey!

Build works wonders. Just thinking where to go next in gear. Jewels i can always buy but what else? Got max res and 6k hp. My mana is cut to 1k after using haste aura. Using Mom as well.
What about weapon. Using the defensive one as my damage is high enough. Still guide says the scourge claw is endgame option?

Hi captain here, if you want to use haste aura, get yourself an essence worm ring, this way you can avoid reserving mana for it.

Regarding the weapon choice, if you're not lacking in damage, let's face it none of us are, you can use a brightbeak for lightspeed shield charging.

Jewels are definitely worth investing a bit in, %7 life you can get from them each is nothing to sneeze at.

Another thing about gear choices, I can't understand anyone willing to use a stone of lazhwar with some random shield over rathpith + bisco's, you don't need the extra stats from amulet or the shield to do any of the content, so why not get extra drops?

Edit: Forgot to fly away, *flies away*

I agree biscos and rathpith cant really be beaten for mapping

<3 wanna be besties? ^^

Seriously tho, this build isn't anywhere near the speed farm builds in efficiency, what it does have however is that you don't need much of anything to be tanky as hell while bursting down end game content. I don't even take off bisco's for shaper since I'm lazy and it makes no difference whatsoever.

Which map tier is the minimum required to desecrate spectres to kill shaper?

Do you guys use Tukohama's Vanguard and Wicker Man to map or only when you focus single target?

Would Flame Sentinels be better for clear speed?
