Aside from RS and RK, which spectres doesn't die on red maps?


Anything with 200% life will be OK. Even around 150%. Slave Driver has 100% so they will feel very soft.

But I think a big problem is most player just push DPS and they forget minion defense. Even RS and RK can die easily in juicy 100% deli maps.

It will still be fucking tanky if you go for block without GB and reach 50% spell block.
If you check my forum history you can see the list with easily available def options while still reaching 2-2,5 million dps per spectre, maybe even more.

Im only sad about the Divine Flesh nerf, it was really strong but good luck getting enough chaos res without chaos anyway and you can still get to 88/90% max chaos res kinda easy with a cluster jewel.

That said im thinking about going for golems this league, just for some change after 4x Spectres in a row. :-D


I think GB is actually not good for summoner anyway because mapping monsters are usually not strong. But if you have GB against endgame boss, then even on block, you can still get 'oneshot' (maybe). At least 50% pure block is 100% no damage. That's why I didn't put it in my guide.

So when you annoint Death Attunement will you remove all 8 points that lead up there? And what will you do with the extra points?

It wasnt GB why i decided to use it over pure Block, it was the combination with % life gained on block.
Getting hit every single attack but recovering 3-5% life every time doesnt make you unkillable but it smoothens out dmg spikes.

Edit: And pure block uses a lot of skill points but with nerfed cluster jewels they might get worth it.

Can someone give me a simple high level explanation of the difference between Kay's and Ghazzy's Spectre build?

I haven't done Spectre's before and I like to research and understand. As I am reviewing Kay's and Ghazzy's guides I am struggling to identify significant differences in approaches because I don't know the build well yet. Like is one significantly more damage, one more layered defenses, one requires more button pushing and maintenance during gameplay, etc...

I'm not looking for personal opinions on what is better or anything negative, just some assistance in understanding their approaches to help me make my own decision. Thanks!

Kay cover more spectre type and Ghazzy mostly cover RS.
Gem & gear setup usually change when you using different spectre.
For example, RS is cold, SD is lighting
Hello,

I am looking for a good HC build ?

It s my 3rd or 4th league. Last one I pushed the farthest, Uber Lab, T15, Atziri with a HOA Juggernaut.

I wonder if I can go farther that before with this build.

Is there any modification for HC ?

Thank you

If you compare his build to Kay's pure spectre build they are similar in concept and it seems Kay's pure spectre would be higher damage with the cluster jewels and Ghazzy would be more defense. The S&S build though is completely different. I always start out with one of Kay's builds and then I make adjustments to defenses and damage depending on what I am lacking.

How easy will be switching from SD to RS(coz they are anyway superior)
Doesn't seem that much need changing, like, chest piece(with gems) that's all?
So you're guide for spectres and cluster jewels says to use overstock.
However other content creators are saying that overstock doesn't work on skitterbots as it's not your shock. One guy even said GGG confirmed it.

I'm new to summoners tho, tried your guide at the end of harvest and enjoyed it, never did get cluster jewels tho.I plan to use it for heist league start too. I'm just wondering if I should attempt to get craft some overshock jewels (hc ssf) or go for something else.
