Your curses will override your friends and vice versa, if your friend has 1 curse and then you apply 2 curses, you will override your friend.. if they cast their 1 curse on the target, they will override both your curses unless their build supports dual curse.. makes sense? lol

Just as i feared :(

You spend a lot of currency on +1 aditional curse corruption amulet and then it turns out that it does not work as you thought it would work. I think it does not mmake sense to encourage party play.

After updating my build due to the FE nerf I can reach 3.4mil Shaper dps fairly easily with SGs (2.8mil without vorici white socket for full 6Bs) which is more than enough.. plenty of room to minmax damage as gear is far from optimal but hoping to push Shaper today

I like what you've done with the build. I do have a concern though: I noticed you have socketed Conc Eff as the 6th gem. Without GMP (or LMP), mapping might not feel too great because SGs shoot a single fireball by default.

So, will the tree from guide work with Solar Guards or i need to re-spec?
Followed guide till today and looks like FE doesnt work anymore as well as it was before.
Im not so good at the game and dont have much time to play, so really need an update to understand what to do next :)

It will still work fine.

If you want to use SGs, you can just swap Faster Projectiles -> Greater Multiple Projectiles.

In 3.5, I ran this build with 2 FEs + 2 SGs for delve.

Conc is for boss killing, that's why I have a white vorici socket so I can switch back to GMP easily for mapping :)

Hey!

Haven't played for a few leagues but came back to this one and decided to play a summoner, found this guide and it's great. The only thing that confuses me atm is how big difference there is between Fire-eaters and SG? still worth playing with fire-eaters?

tl;dr. FE and SG are both viable, and both work with this build. Use the one you like best or use a combo.

Longer reply:

It comes down to play style and personal choice. Some people love SGs. I personally hate them because of their cast delay and inability to kill shielded monsters.

To elaborate, FEs will always attack from melee range, so if you run into monsters and use Convocation to teleport them to you, they will shotgun the pack of monsters: instagib.

If you try this with SGs, they will often teleport to you then start casting their Beam attack which takes several seconds to cast. They won't start shooting fireballs until the beam has been cast. You'll end up dead before they finish casting.

The same goes for simply running through the map (spectres will teleport to you when they fall behind too much). SGs will teleport to you and start casting their Beam.

Shielded monsters can't be damaged from range, so SGs are totally useless unless you run inside the shield and use Convocation to teleport them inside as well.

The build itself is a fairly generic spell casting spectre build, so it'll work with SGs and FEs (only requires a single gem swap). I've run 4x FEs, 4x SGs and 2+2. All work fine.

Ah! I didn't inspect the gear list. Then it's perfect :)

I was just thinking, if you're focusing on SGs, then you could possible just use an Elder helmet with Minion Damage and Conc Effect. You'll swap, maybe Cont Dest for GMP when mapping.

That would leave you with the 6L chest for utility.

It might be worthwhile to, instead, craft extra dodge or increased life, especially if you mostly play in a team.

I prefer to craft second curse because I do the endgame grinds solo.
