Hey Kay, since the thread is a little bit slower now maybe you have time for some brainstorming.
What would you do if you want to make the pure Spectre build as tanky as possible?

So far im at 218% inc% (Level 95) life from tree, Glancing Blows and blocked Spell Cap with Bone Offering and Rumis, %life recovery if block from shield, Divine Flesh with capped 77% ele res and 87% chaos res (possibly +3% chaos res but expensive, especially without Harvest), 104% inc ES with MoM and Diadem, Fortify from either AG, Shield Charge or Vigilant Strike, Blind from AG, Jinxed Juju, while maintaining roughly 2+ million dps per spectre (no helmet enchant and without considering any dps from AG gear) and the same PoB settings as you but im wondering if im missing anything and you can come up with a good idea i havent considered yet.

Edit: Or maybe greatly increasing offense while costing barely any defense.

I use Mystic Bulwark (and no Rumi's) in S&S build and that gives 75/70, so I think to add it to 3.12 Pure Spectres build because it doesn't need unique flask (no Rumi's!). Also in trade league, use Taste of Hate to help against phys damage (no Rumi's). But not sure how it works with Divine Flesh. Do you know?

I was thinking: 20% phys taken as cold (flask effect) -> 20% less cold damage taken (flask effect) -> 50% ele taken as chaos (divine flesh) -> chaos res cap (90%).

Or maybe like: 20% phys taken as cold (flask effect) -> 20% less cold damage taken (flask effect) and 50% ele taken as chaos (divine flesh) -> chaos res cap (90%).

Both are strong I think

I played Harvest league with Sin eater AG. It's super cheap and gives elemental ailment immunity. Actually it will transfer ailment to bosses, so it can be really powerful. I also didn't use skitterbots so I put wake of destruction on AG. Oh I also use conc ground body armour for aoe heal effect (and I don't need to cast HFT!). You can see this AG in my Primal Crushclaw showcase.



But also I think we don't need to go super tank. Heist mechanic doesn't seem rippy... unless Kosis is the boss guarding endgame treasure chest :P

Yay!

Just hope we can find something useful in there! :D

We can Heist before maps, once per act according to GGG. We might find something good for leveling while stealing ;)

Flamewall looks interesting, I just hope it doesn't interact with EE.

This was really interesting for me. Looks cool.

All builds on this website are for Harvest and its crafting. I guess its back to Kayella spectres.

Just about every build benefited from Harvest, even Kays was easier to pump out cluster jewels, and make +2 min power/frenzy shields much much cheaper. Overall Harvest was an exalt printing machine, which made upgrading to insane levels of gear easy to achieve for even average playtime players. Going back to the old crafting way to get a certain resist, or fine tune a piece of gear that is near perfect will be painful... but the base version of kays at least can get you into the end game.

Bulwark only gives 8% spell block though, i specced out of it bc i found i would rather have the points than a better flask but i also just used a magic granite flask with increased armor when it is up, havent even thought about other flasks,Taste of Hate sounds like a good idea.

End goal would be a shield with %life recovered on block, +max all res, +max chaos res and spell block but well, good luck with that.

The ailment immunity from AG sounds interesting, maybe i will try using that weapon if i like vigilant strike with the vigil.

And it is not really about Heist, i just prefer not to die in any content.

Don't forget it's 16% with Glancing Blows. So Bulwark + 5% spell block craft + Glancing Blows = 75/75. I'm planning new Base Build now, so I think I will recommend this. If you are lucky or play trade, then it's pretty easy to upgrade and change things :)

Unfortunately we are going back to old school crafting. But for shield, the most important mod is life recovery. Just spam pristine fossil until you get it. Maybe get lucky with good life roll too. Then craft spell block.

I didn't push my character too much with Harvest and I did all experiments with crafting cluster jewels in standard (I have hundreds of fossils). So for me it isn't a big change to lose Harvest crafting. The crafting for 3.12 will be focused on 'easy' crafting.

If you want to go faster, you need speed boots: 35% ms + onslaught + 10% ms enchant. Kind of like this:

I like phase run instead of withering step because withering has 'blink' tag so it shares cooldown with flamedash/dash. You can link phase run + inc duration + second wind.

How do you get the spectre damage and onslaught into the implicit?

Kay, great guide, best I've seen yet. Trying out the leveling process right now. It's a breeze and so much fun! Just switched to SD Spectre and I "whip it, whip it good".

I will def use your SSF guide for my league starter in Heist. Thanks so much <3

PS, your Fist of the animated guardian video is HILARIOUS! XD

Hey guys,
I just had a practice run. I followed your leveling instructions, but instead of zombies I've used a pure SRS-setup mit Cannibal Fire-Eaters. Merc Lab, all skill quests and A10 Kitava were finished after 6 hours on lvl 63. Insane! I will be faster next time, because I think that focusing on SRS was a mistake. I will try to follow your instructions now completely. Another mistake: I've used Armageddon Brand all the time with CFE...completely stupid. But anyway: 6hours for reaching maps. :D

So, I've played for exactly 24 hours. Got into red maps , spawned the first sirus - rip ofc. Progress was damn smooth. 6k life, 1k ES, changed to redemption sentrys as fast as possible, so first of all my focus was an spawning redeemer.

Now I've migrated all and tried out some stuff. I managed to get a 5l +1 spectre chest and I vaaled my 20/0 spectre gem, which turned out to be a lucky 21/0. Elder guardians were not a problem, even Shaper was a walk in the park.

In my 24h run I've found a few blighted maps, T9 was the highest. It was no problem at all. Now after the migration I tried T13-T16 and it was really hard. One page before you've said, that we should try pierce and feeding frenzy. I've done that. I think, that more meat shield will be a good Idea.

What do you think about my thoughts:

Changing Dash - Second Wind - Convocation - Frost Bomb to ----> Flame Dash - Curse on Hit - Brand - Projectile Weakness. This way we have a movement skill, the pierce will come from our brand, which could be casted to three positions. Enough pierce I think.


AG - Elemental Army - Minion Life - Feeding Frenzy ---> AG - Raise Zombie - Minion Life - Feeding Frenzy

Holy Flame Totem in the shield or Spell Cascade in the Weapon could be changed to Vaal summon skeletons for more minions on the board. I don't even know, why we are using spell cascade. Could you explain?

Cheers

edit: Reading will help a lot. Now I know, why we are using spell cascade. So, HFT to Vaal Skeletons would be the only way I think. We don't need HFT in blighted Maps anyway
