How well the solar guard perform in the league mechanic? I started with fire eater, but it was not that good in freeing a good amount of mobs. At least that was my experience. Then when I read the nerf here I switched to frost sentines. It perform much better there, but I worry about the damage in higher maps. So I am curious, how well the solar guard perform in freeing a large amount of mobs in the monolith thing?

I tried some T14-15 maps with SG and must say, personally i love them.

Yeah, I think it's down to personal choice. I've played with FEs since 3.2, so I'm used to the 'FE playstyle'. When I tried to play the same way with SGs, I just kept dying. But I know a lot of people swear by SGs.

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.

What you will swap? I run 2x FE and 2x SG for mapping in flashback with faster proj, but then i swapped to 4x FEs because i feel better that way, but in legion i feel for maps SG are better because i can free more legion mobs with GMP as phantasms proj pierce target.

Faster Proj -> GMP as always.

In the past, when I've run 2+2, I just use GMP most of the time and then swap for Faster Proj (or Slower Proj) in boss fights. You'll find there's actually enough DPS to not even need to swap.


Once I get to 240 depth (i83), I'll probably use Frost Sentinels for mapping and FEs when it's time to do Uber Elder (40 kills for endgame grinds). FS + GMP + Pierce is pretty crazy.

Probably really well.

But not as good as Frost Sentinels.

Try it and let us know.

Did my second shaper attempt ever and it went pretty well till stuttering got me killed twice.

Done with SG in standard, so its not that big of deal, but im still happy it worked.



atleast lucky with the loot.

Actually very good, i can free whole armies on regular basis with 4 SGs.

just a heads up that you will lose the self benefits from commander of darkness ascendancy (most notably, cast speed and all ele res) with the new setup. not the end of the world but something to consider

you reference flame dash in your 4L gem links section when its no longer there. also phase run can be linked to cwdt+ic safely as it is past the level that cwdt would trigger it

Is necro spectre still the best boss killer for HC?
what spectre is best in 3.7?

It seems Steel skin is beter then IC now in CWDT setup
