Ended up going Divine Flesh, and it feel really good, got 89% chaos res, but i can get it to 90%. 77% fire, cold and lightning res.

Spoiler

I guess my next upgrades would have to be an actual good wand, and try to go for gg helmet to finally scale crit and make my cluster worth their price.
I am using awakened curse on hit + profane proxy to double curse, not using projectile weakness since i am using Awakened Chain and I dont feel it is needed, using temporal chains instead as additional defence.

Things I would like to try are awakened fork instead of chain (anybody got some feedback on this?), maybe +1 body armour curse so I can triple curse.

my gear so far:

I like your version! I tried Divine Flesh in 3.10 with a different tree (change Pain Attunment), but I like how you use Unwavering Stance to change.

Do you mind if I copy your gear for a guide update (just forum guide)?



About awakened fork, it can hit more monsters, but projectiles fly in straight line away. Chain is nice because it can fly in ang direction , even backwards. I still prefer GMP + Pierce.

Of course you can copy my gear for the guide, thanks for the guide Kay.

If we aren't taking Necromantic Aegis, Is Victario's Charity still the best option for shield?
Running 5 spectre Slave Drivers

Would Raze and Pillage cluster passive (ignite for summons) work with redemption sentries?

Hey,

Sorry if this is already covered in this MONSTER thread. So many useful posts!

I have a problem with Dex. It is quite low, where many echants and my annoitment has to be used to up this. Is anyone else finding this problem? We use quite a few Green Gems, but in the tree we don't get many Dex nodes.

Or am I doing something wrong? (most probably this!)

Everyone has dex problems at start:
you can get 2 +30 dex noded in your passive tree.

once you have some currency you can get some dex gear.
High dex amulet (around 80dex) with +1 is around 6ex
U can also get elder boots with 50dex for around 4ex.
Its possible also to get it on your ring and belt.
You can get some dex jewels -> ghastly eyes with dex and minion damage aren't very expensive you can get 10-14 from each.

I'm trying out the "pure spectre" build option, but it feels very much like a glass cannon. The DPS is pretty good (I still need gear upgrades), but I feel like I can't survive very well.
Is it just a matter of more life on my gear? (I'm at 3.7k life and doing tier 4/5 maps right now)
Open areas where I can move around are better, but in confined areas, like Delve, I can die very fast if I'm not super careful.

In my very humble opinion, in Kay's guide the Pure Spectre should be considered a "natural evolution" over the starter build: when you feel you are invincible in starter build, you change a few things, upgrade gear, and move to a DPS build like that.

A lot of things in the path to success.

I've done it like this, I'm still nearly unkillable, AND I have fun. But 3.7k HP is really not enough, I have 6k and I get one-shotted from time to time.

I think you rushed it. Or something is wrong.

BUT Pure Spectre is fun and good for you. 😉 You can do it!

yes, the pure spectre build is focus on dps.
if you think your dps is good enough you can use bone offering + enduring cry+rumi+basalt+%hp when block shield , these will boost your survivor a lot.
Also more life too

Well you are missing overshock which is the main reason you go lighning cluster. Thats a huge dps decrease.

I imported a cluster jewel with overshock, and it didn't change my dps with the same settings, still 1.8m per spectre, and if I import my current gear onto the one cluster jewel build, it's still 4.1m dps.
I have 0 idea where I'm missing 2 mil dps, awakened gems sure aren't giving that.

did you input the shock value in "is the enemy shocked" ?

yes and no
yes if you want to provide frenzy charge to your spectre
no if you have enough dps and want more survivor and take +%hp when block shield

My suggestion is quite similar to the previous post:

- Mistress of Sacrifice (Ance Passive)
- Bone Offering
- Glancing Blows

With this setup, you can get more than 70/70 Attack and spell block.

This setup already give you a lot of defense, and you can keep a very good dps.

If you need more defence, starting using a shield like that:

- With Life on block.

This shield with the previous configuration focused on blocks will give you more survivability.

I`m currently using the same, but I changed for a more DPS configuration, with:


This shield + Necromance Aegis

I`m still with more than 70/70 attack/spell block and Improved by DPS a lot (I can say that practically doubled my DPS).

One more tip:

There are two small clusters very useful for survivability, I`m using:
- small with Enduring Composure
- small with Surging Vitality

I hope this explanation helps.
