If I have profane proxy ring with frostbite, Do skitterbots linked with bonechill work too?. Like a combo?.

Ring-skitter-bonechill-frostbite

Its like a combo of added cold damage or not?

Just tried A5 Sirus with my current gear, and couldn't beat it. Not enough dps before I start making mistakes in the final phase. Last phase they barely even tickled him. POB is showing they are only doing 55k dps with their attack while RS is over 150k and SD can hit 250k, so I'm starting to lose faith in the hype. Yea, it clears maps great but it was utter shit with Sirus.

I'm not sure this would have been able to handle A1 Sirus honestly with the lack of dps in general. And with how hard it is to raise currency so far this league, I think I might just be shelving this for good and calling it a league. +1 spectre chests are 5-15 ex, let alone another 3-5 spectre helmet. That's 8-12 hours a day grinding for a month right now to get enough currency to do this.

Tbh i also noticed the lack of single target dps in Sirus A5, especially in the last phase where he TP's around. Most of the time my minions didnt even attack him while i was dodging his attacks.

What would be my next upgrade? Cluster jewels since the damage feels low?

your unending hunger doenst work at that position + cluster would definitely be the next step.

It does work according to the game.

The new POB supports SO specters now. but my question is how do we calculate the damage for them? acourding to POB i have 50k Sirus 8 DPS. i guess its per specter but still looks ryl low. i run kays 2x Large Cluster setup guide from Pure specter build.

what do u guys think? and how do we calculate it properly within POB?
hard to look for upgrades when i dont understand how its scaled.

Thanks / Fac31

Yea I did wonder cos my gear is pretty good yet PoB is so low. My theory is that it's just the average damage of their one projectile attack, whereas they fire 3 at once, plus it doesn't take into their cast rate.

So for example, 50k average damage times three attacks for 150k per cast X 4 casts per second for 600k DPS per spectre. That's just one theory anyway cos the numbers are way higher than what PoB shows

From what I can see your options are:

Firstly its up to you, but I would color your wand to get desecrate in your first slot and then the offering after it. You're not using Devouring Diadem so no point in using spell cascade could use vaal summon skeletons instead for more dmg absorption.
You could look into a ring with frostbite on it to free up your boots to take your gems in your helm. Then get a +3 helm and put Animate Guardian(for buffs) zombies elemental army and meatshield
Get an unset ring to hold your brand.
Get a +1 All Int Skills ammy
The final option is cluster jewels.

yeah something is deffinently abit off in POB. i hope someone can figure this out. its hard to know when and what to upgrade atm ^^

Can someone recommend GEM links when using Syndicate Operative as League Starter?

This is where Predator Support is very handy. It causes the minions supported by it to focus on the target you've used Signal Prey on. For the final phase, I usually spam Convocation (with Signal prey, EE proc, Frost Bomb, etc.) when I'm near a vulnerable Sirus. They key to the fight is standing near him and, of course, dps check is important too.



I manage to beat Awakener 6 with this gear (Redemption Sentries) and I stil have room to upgrade. Probably aiming for Devoruing Diadem next then a +1 Spectre chest. Leveling gems on the side to obtain a 21/20 spectre as well.



Prior to this I failed an Awakener 5 Sirus but getting an additional spectre seems to have solved that issue. I think the failure was mostly due to poor computer performance as I get stutters against Sirus (and bad positioning).

Also, does any one know if Animate guardian is account bound or gem bound? I found an Anomalous AG gem and was wondering if I should swap to it but I'm not sure if the AOE quality affects its item auras or attacks. I'm also scared of losing the gear on it if it's gem bounded.

I just give a try to frost auto scout , on T16 and Sirus A5, it's ok like redemption sentry pre-nerf, if they have auto pierce like SO spectres they can be great, at this time ( and before the incoming SO nerf) , they are "just" good

Does Combustion -res stack with Elemental Army? (I don't see why it wouldn't?)
