Do you have somewhere POB backup before you switched to clusters?
Last POB link (taken from your character) I have is for lvl91 (https://pastebin.com/BpYLfdCX).
Any sugestions for next nodes w/o clusters please?

there isn't much more value to take on the tree without clusters. maybe go down to grab barbaranism, juggernaut and jewel socket. or take sacrifice and indomitable army if you are having minions die at all

Having said all that, from my general testing, Volley does still feel like it deals more damage. But I can also feel the map clear go down a bit. Not enough to worry about, but it is noticeable. More testing is needed, as I think both gems are stronger in different areas.

with better gear you don't notice the change to volley, at least i don't notice the clear. but i notice the single target because the spread is much easier to shotgun than the spread from gmp.

theres the image with the spread. almost a 180 with gmp whereas lmp/volley is a like a 60 degree cone

Is anyone running Glancing blows with Max block or is that notable in the graveyard now?

it works just fine. its best when synced up with a life on block shield though and some life regen.

Yea that image definitely clears things up, and it makes sense with the sort of difference I was feeling with mapping. Damage-wise for maps, I didn't feel a massive difference, but it was the AOE size that was noticeably different.

So there's definitely a trade-off, but at this point, and also like you had said, I think the single target damage is more important since the clear is already very good.

It's not just an extra projectile its 10% more Attack and Cast speed from quality on the Awakened GMP vs normal GMP

test it if you want but the maths doesn't look any better.

dps with volley = 7m on PoB
dps with awakened GMP = 5.9m on PoB

yes projectiles shotgun but its hard to get all of them too with the spread and the fact they can't be in the mobs face or they do no dmg.

so take it as you will, test if you like, but i'm 99% sure that volley or alternate lmp feels the best

May i ask,how did you proceed to craft such a lovely helmet.

bought it but the vraft is an elder and shaper base then fossil craft with pristine+dense+bound. endgame craft would be a four socket resonator adding glyphic but that makes the price exponetially more expensive as four socket resonators are 50c each alone if you can even buy any at bulk. that's how it used to be and i assume it's still that way

edit: just an update on this, it seems this was before the double influenced items.

the correct way now is to try your luck at awakener orbing an item to hit something good. if the outcome is bad you scour it and fossil craft. optimal fossil craft is



either of the top two are fine, just depends wether you wanna spend more per craft for a higher chance, or feeling lucky and using a slightly cheaper method

For a primal Crushclaw, would grips of the council be better, or an all green triad grips?

Grip of the council.

I'm using a tanky version with max block glancing blows, at level 94 right now using SO. You guys can have a look to check out if you want. Can run t16 + Sirus 5 no issue so far. After reaching 95 I will go a bit more dps.

first time playing spectre and just started mapping and want to try the operatives.

wondering if anyone would be able to give them to me?

ign is The_Bed_of_Chaos

edit:got them

Can't wait for the S&S 3.12 update.

Mapping is preety good but i'm not very happy with bossing setup. Redemption Knights are dying sometimes.

I did Sirus 7 last night and my 5 RK spectres died like 6 times each during the fight.

They last for 10 seconds tops on last phase.

I know my gear is not good, still trying to get weapon and ammulet but still, i think the build need some love.

Sorry for delay.

I can't decide which spectre to recommend!!

As you know RK was nerfed too much.
3.11: life = 4.05x / damage = 1.5x
3.12: life = 2.7x / damage 1.0x
base life = 25k / dps = 1221

Crab has the best survivability and decent damage, but it is VERY hard to see anything because of water fountains.
life = 12x / damage = 1.2x
base life = 115k / dps = 1465

Last option is dinosaur... For some reason GGG didn't nerf it? It's same DPS as pre-nerf RK. It doesn't have long-range slash, but it has special attack with 30% chill.
3.11: life = 4.05x / damage = 1.5x
3.12: life = 4.05x / damage = 1.5x
base life = 43k / dps = 1841

Guys starting to die a bit often in harder maps so is the "Recover #% Life on Block" a game changer?

I am using a Lioneyes Remorse which i think is really good but open to suggestions.

Thanks.
