Going out for a while, sirus a8 impossible... kill my AG +6 kingmaker + Elemental Army. Maybe i will try a5 ou a6 but next monty heheh

After failing to keep my AG up , i can come up with some decent advice : first of all , for sirus, get kingmaker (40ish chaos), KAOM heart for 10c, victario's boots, leercast and southbound gloves to really boost his stats.
Also equally important, you NEED to respec 3 points from somewhere (even your hp, as most of the dmg will nearly 1 shot you anyway) and take the node with Indomitable army, which causes your minions to not take dmg when they bleed.


Thats what killed my AG 2 times, and then i killed sirus EZ PZ lemon squeezy.
Hope this helps

put spell cascade support in your inventory and move your mouse on top of it. Desecrate has a green check.

Ah you are correct. Although mine was showing X because it was in a shaper wand with lvl16 spell cascade. Would that be viable alternative to using the gem? This way I can keep the skeletons.

Sadly a few things not up to date here ...

+1 Spectre Armor can not be crafted anymore - its a drop in delve at minion nodes

Hey I was wondering if it was possible to keep the skill tree from the EB & MoM version while just using Pledge of Hands, would the dps suffer at all if i did this?
I just want to make use of cluster jewels in a build but Pledge of Hands seems interesting for slave driver specters.

I'm really interested in this build, how much currency would I need to run maps comfortably? lowest budget possible while still doing decent amount of damage?

4 Redemption Knights and 1 Arena Master. I lose a bit of damage because the AM doesn't have cold conversion (still benefits from hatred though), but he buffs the team with 40% increased attack/cast/movement speed.

I've used the Arena Master off and on, and I really can't tell the difference. I think whatever damage is lost from 5 -> 4 RKs is made up by the 40% AM's drum buff. (Though the soundFX can get annoying after a while.)

I'm going to experiment next with 4 Arena Champions + 1 Arena Master for phys Impale spectres. Both AM and AC have high damage, high life, excellent resists, and fast attacks. ACs also have projectile attacks, so clear might not be too bad. Just theory at this point as I haven't actually tried out the Champions yet.

Vicious Bite gives a ton more DPS than Renewal if you assume power charges.

Spoiler

Renewal assuming you have Gravepact
0 -> 1 = 9.5%
1 -> 2 = 8.7% (19.0%)
2 -> 3 = 8.0% (28.6%)
3 -> 4 = 7.4% (38.1%)
4 -> 5 = 6.9% (47.6%)
5 -> 6 = 6.5% (57.1%)

Vicious Bite on the other hand (assuming no Precise Commander or other sources of crit chance/damage)
0 -> 1 = 17.6%
1 -> 2 = 16.9% (37.6%)
2 -> 3 = 16.1% (59.7%)
3 -> 4 = 15.3% (84.1%)
4 -> 5 = 14.5% (110.9%)
5 -> 6 = 13.7% (139.8%)

So...
2 Vicious Bite + 6 Renewal = 216.2%
6 Vicious Bite + 2 Renewal = 285.4% (32% better)

Not really sure why were' comparing 2 and 6. That's a lot of nodes that come at a high opportunity cost (ie you have to spend a lot more nodes in the large jewels) or a high currency cost (high end Voices are more expensive than HH).

P.S. I just got super lucky opening up the stash of stacked decks I had. I opened less than 3 ex worth of cards and came away with The Doctor, The Fiend, and The Nurse x2.

Now I just gotta figure out what I want to buy. I've been doing pretty well with the S&S build. I really like the life on kill sustain for mapping and the Simulacrum. Even with only ~5k health and almost no energy shield I generally only die to one shots from bosses. Although I haven't really done much with the orbs yet other than stupidly trying to do a 5 orb T16 and finding out I don't have the DPS for that. Any thoughts?
