Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

Enjoying this build very much. Just starting out in maps and I was wondering if someone could check my gear out and let me know what my next upgrades should be. I am dead broke at the moment, but need something to works towards. I have been following the guide religiously and I believe that I am a little further along than I have a right to be as I lucked out and was able to purchase a scepter with a 'trigger spell' at a low price.



I also have a 5-link Vis Mortis, but am using the Tabula as the guide suggests.



Maybe I should sell the 5 link Vis Mortis and start working on a 6-link one.

I have not had any clearing problems but I do keep getting one shot by Izaro in the Merciless lab (my current health is at 3.3K). My resistances are all currently above 75 (81/85/106) so I should be in good shape when I clear the lab and get 'Commander of Darkness'. I know that I have a little work to do on the flasks and that my jewelry is just enough to get by (along with the helmet and gloves). Also I keep having dexterity problems, maybe I should just pickup one of the +30 nodes and be done with it (++edit after posting this I crafted a +28 dexterity to one of the rings and took the pressure off).

++edit Good news, I killed Merciless Izaro and got 'Commander of Darkness' which raised my resistances to 101/105/126. This brings up another question. With this build, how over-capped should my resistances be?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Ok, mmmm I would'nt really push towards a 6L vigor mortis as of now, I advice the following two steps:
1.- Craft the rare spectre boots, they are a must. Since you are playing synthesis try to look for a single fracture 30% MS boots (Two-toned if possible, they aren't that expensive) and craft the +1 spectre. Bound + Pristine should do the trick.
2.- Try to find yourself a +1 spectre rare armor, that's the true endgame chest, I honestly wouldn't change from a tabula for anything else. 6 linking a rare chest is easier than a Vis Mortis (because you can craft quality to six link as suggested in the guide).

Seems you are off to a good start! best of luck =)

Is tabula rasa better than 5-link vis mortis?

Hey folks. Are we saying for +1 Spectre chest crafting I need to Anull mods one by one hoping I don't hit the +1 Spectre prefix, and if I do, I'm starting from scratch??

Those chests are like 100c :)

I prefer for a 5 links vis mortis.
But look on the life Pool for your spectres.

The damage is good enough with a 5 link.
I kill easy Tier 14 mapbosses.
Bis mortis give a good Portion of es ;)

Thanks for your quick reply. With using fracture's, the boots seem within my reach. It looks like I can find the two-tone's with a +30 MS fracture for around 50c. Not sure how many time I will need to apply Bound + Pristine, but it should not be to bad.

My only issue is the build is gated around expensive/obnoxious fossil crafts+several exalts for pieces that might lack in some degree.. It makes playing summoners feel discouraging. I don't have that kind of currency, especially starting a league fresh. :(

The idea behind the crafting is to offer an upgrade over basic items like Bones of Ullr, Vis Mortis or Earendel's. Every other piere of equipment is a cheap rare. You can easily play the game without crafting anything.

Outside of flashback, the fossils are very cheap in the first few weeks: bound fossil for 1c, shuddering for 5c.

Recommended t16 map for this build?

I used my Elder Orb on Desert Springs: big open map and highest monster count. The boss arena also seems to drop a lot of maps.

How well do you think this build will perform in as SSF environment, and HC too?

HC is viable.

SSF will be a struggle because you can only get 2 spectres (1 from skill +1 from passives). At minimum, you need 3 to feel comfortable, so you'll need Bones of Ullr/Bound fossil early (for boot craft). Vis Mortis/rare chest are possible, but would be difficult to get 5L on that.

1. How you calculate your 5mln+ shaper DPS? I chech your POB and its say 1mln per one Spectre x4=4mln shaper DPS. So where is another one mln?

2.Zealotry is rly better options than haste+vaal haste?

4.Why Faster Projectiles? Slower P, gives much more DPS.

I dont know how he calculate this 5mln shaper DPS and why he use Faster proj than Slower proj...

Faster Proj for mapping/clear speed. You can swap to Slower Proj for bosses if you want more DPS. I left off the 'shock on focus' craft for the ring. That'll give you another 20%. You can select 'covered in ash' to simulate it.

The build runs Zealotry + Haste - I forgot to change Haste to Vaal Haste (would give a nice boost).

With Slower Proj + Shock on Focus, spectres are at 1.4m. 1.6m with Vaal Haste.
