Hey all, Firstly, thanks for the awesome build. Really enjoying it :) I do have a question for anyone willing to answer!? My question is regarding the Redemption sentries. I chose the SSF/Tanky build to stick with as it appeals to me more than fast mapping or dps boost and was using Slave drivers for a while. I thought we could choose any of the Spectres from the spectre section so proceeded to get Redemption Sentries and the gloves/gems to go with it. Only then did I notice the new POB/tree in the R-Sentries section. Am I supposed to respec my tree in there? Or am I fine sticking with original SSF/tanky tree?? Many thanks in advance edit: In either case, they feel nice to play :) Last edited by dirtybeatfreak#7612 on Jul 27, 2020, 1:41:59 PM	Posted by dirtybeatfreak#7612 on Jul 27, 2020, 1:07:30 PM Quote this Post
For difficult bosses, better to choose Ele Focus or Hypothermia? or maybe Impale Support? (over GMP) ps. Pure Redemption Spectries Last edited by Ventori#0164 on Jul 27, 2020, 3:17:55 PM	Posted by Ventori#0164 on Jul 27, 2020, 3:12:28 PM Quote this Post

Run the numbers through pob, I'd guess ele focus. Edit: probably decided by socket colours, unless you got white ones.

So, I am pretty sure it must have been asked and answered in the past few hundred posts, but: 1) is it worthwhile to shift from League start Slave Drivers to Pure Spectre Redemption Sentries? 2) without Bone Offering aren't we giving up a fair amount of tankiness? 3) i have a +1 chest but not 6L and don't have any other +1 gear, so am at 4 Spectres - still pretty pricey to get boot, ammy and wand +1's 4) do you need to do clusters in order for Pure Spectre to be and feel better than League start? 5) for Pure Spectre/RS why left hand for Proxy ring? wouldn't we want the chilled from the skitters since this is a "cold build"? 6) if I don't run AG (hate re-gearing when they die), what would I replace it with? (Again, in Pure Spectre build) TIA	Posted by Reactor52#7022 on Jul 27, 2020, 4:54:51 PM Quote this Post

If you don't hit t1 frostbite -> remove crafted mod, than remove cold once or twice (until frostbite is gone) than redo this step all over again. 6. Finish the ring with whatever stats u want like resists, life and es with harvest crafts. To activate frostbite you can craft this armor: +1 Curse and Offering Armor. 1. Buy a 6-linked +1 spectre base with no "bad" mods like mana that cant get removed by harvest (3-5ex). For maximum chance of success it should be exactly ilvl82 or ilvl83. 2. Block all prefs with anything (preferably not with life if u want easier rerolls in case of misses) and open all 3 suffs. Slam hunter's orb for a 33% chance to hit one of the 2 offerings mods. If you miss and hit caster/attack/life than augment it with caster/attack to increase your chances to hit it again with harvest augment influence mod. But if you are aiming only for t1 offering you will have to do harvest reroll influence mod only without the extra crafts or remove them all after hitting t2. 3. Block all suffs and open 2 prefs. 4. Augment chaos to block off hunter's mods. 5. Now harvest augment influence for a 25% chance to hit the curse mod. If u miss. u will need to use remove life (since both other mods that hit are life) and augment influence again. What is exactly the name of the craft to augment influence on the last step , I am at that point and don’t want to screw it up. Thank you	Posted by D2Junkie#2271 on Jul 27, 2020, 6:08:05 PM Quote this Post
SO I'm level 92 and just made the jump to 1 cluster jewel. I've noticed my Animated Guardian in the Dying Breath setup keeps dying (T16 maps usually). I have level 20 gems (not 20 qual though) but dude keeps wiping. Are there any common traps as to why these guys die? I have a single jewel on my tree that has life regen. Does it usually take a couple to keep them upright?	Posted by chodenode#4640 on Jul 27, 2020, 6:12:23 PM Quote this Post

(Again, in Pure Spectre build) TIA I am pretty sure I can help with a few answers. 1) Only if you have 4/5 spectres and can spend currency on uniques and items required. 2) Yes but you are gaining a fair amount of DPS. That's what Pure Spectre is, after all: DPS. 3) four spectres are good and enough to enjoy the Build. At least, I'm enjoying it! 4) no; with clusters you become a steamroller and clear maps like there's no tomorrow; but you have time for that, first you have to become confident with the build; 5) probably that's exactly the reason: you DON'T want cold damage on your gear: you actually do fire with frost bomb converted to fire, and that spell procs all the needed debuffs; your spectres do the dirty job of killing mobs debuffed to COLD with COLD spells. If the skitterbots do cold damage, probably it's very bad: they trigger resistance to cold. Mmmm no. 6) AG is really nice; it's basically a buffer for your spectres (and you). And even with basic gear it never dies on "average" maps. I've never lost mine, and I'm doing T14/15 maps now. With hard bosses you need to be careful, ye. For a replacement set of gems instead of AG... Mmm... Let's wait for experts. :-D Az That's called pain. Get used to it.

I switched to a 2 cluster setup finally, and didn't notice any difference while doing my regular content (mapping, delving, some bosses) checked my POB and was surprised to see i lowered my DPS somehow, might be doing something wrong so i'm asking here. Another thing is that i feel kinda stuck, have no idea what item should i focus on next. Should i switch my shield to a +2/+2 charges thingy or maybe a bone helm? Armour with offering bonus thingy? My wand/boots/belt can be upgraded too i guess, but what first? What upgrade will benefit me the most in your opinion? I have around 25-30 ex just sitting there. Oh, and another thing, should i allocate Raze and Pillage in my clusters? not even sure it does something, maybe my points can be better spent.
