Use the 3.11 build in the meantime. It works just fine.

Hey guys, in the video guide for pure spectres Kay uses "Bone offering"

Why not flesh offering?

And what map mods Syndicate operatives cant do?

Its up to you to chose basically, kay defaults to more survivability over damage hence Bone offering but if you rather have more damage switch to flesh offering.

As for map mods the only one I know 100% dont work is ele reflect.
Not actually tried phys reflect but as we convert 100% to cold it should be safe.

Ones to be careful about is lower block chance and cant regenerate life/mana depending on your tree.

You can do ele reflect maps by swapping 4g triad grip to some generic glowes and turning off Hatred aura.
Phys reflect map is safe to do.

it does if you didn't take Avatar of Fire

I saw some gameplay of syndicate operatives and they looked cool. I’ve never played a minion build before so I have question... is it better to start with the base build if I only have a 4 ex budget? And if I go with the base build wild syndicate operatives work well with it? I’m not sure if I can afford the cluster jewels

Yes, but what most people don't realize is that only the last tick of Frost Bomb actually deals damage. The initial couple of pulses that apply cold exposure (-#% cold res) don't deal any damage, and therefore work even without avatar of fire. And since the enemy should have a brand attached, the last tick of cold damage will be overwritten right away.

If you're using arc, then it'll be trickier since you will have to manually make sure to reapply the lightning damage after the end of the frostbomb explosion. But in general, if you're using a brand, it still works perfectly fine without Avatar of Fire.

I play base build with Operatives. Works great.
First thing is to get 5 spectres.
Clusters are late endgame.

Anyone know if Syndicate Operatives is supposed to scale off of attack speed? I assumed they worked similarly to cast on crit, since they cast a spell that procs several different attacks. Yet on POB, any minion attack speed increase ramps the damage up of the procced attack like crazy.

That tells me that attack speed scales the operatives extremely well? Unless POB is wrong?

They use "empty" spell to trigger their attacks.
That's why we use Spell Echo.
