Hi all, minion gem level more important than a high minion % damage roll on a wand, right?

Yes. Spectre gem level is very important. Once you get it to level 25, you get another spectre. But it also increases their level, so they get more health and damage.

Yeah you can do it in SSF one issue is that harvest is pretty rare so you basically make a two elder pre-fix helm in my case minion damage conc effect - > hopefully when you did make it you have 2 additional suffix therefor you block the final suffix now minion life within the third prefix is a life tag therefor all you do is Add Life so it's 1/3 of chance to get it, You will either get Pure Life or Hybrid life and finally Minion life.

So Kay is there any other elder suffix that can work ;x before I finalize this

Sorry, but I'm a craft noob, so I don't understand one single thing of what you wrote. Is it possible to write up the basic steps involved?

I'm not sure how much knowledge you have, so I'll start with the basics.

1) Some maps have "influence", so items that drop in them have a chance to have that "influence" on them. There are 6 possible influences - Shaper, Elder, Redeemer, Warlord, Hunter and Crusader.
2) Influenced items have additional possible prefixes and suffixes that can appear on an item when created, or when crafting is applied.
3) Crafting itself is far too complicated to explain in a short post, but harvest crafting allows you to add, remove or replace specific types of modifiers, giving you more control over making an item.
3a) For example, "+X to Maximum Life" has a "life" tag, meaning if your item has room for another prefix (3 is the max), you can "augment life" with a harvest craft to have the possibility of adding "+X to Maximum Life", if it doesn't already exist.

Hello Kay, when can we expect to see update with Flicker Shade? I love how their spells look, really want to use them! I'm confused what is best gem links for them, as they do both phys and spell dmg attacks I think ?

I wonder: What is currently the best bossing build (out of all minion builds) for SSF?

I'm missing the following items, so builds that depend on them are out for now:

- any minion Cluster Jewels
- +1 Spectre chest
- +3 Helmet

The main issue with this build is that the Skellies die very easily on tougher bosses and have to be recast constantly, which significantly reduces the dps output. Hence I wonder which other build would be better suited for bossing (I have a Cyclone clearing character so mapping speed doesn't matter at all).

Im still not sure how accurate PoB values for minions like Skelletons and Spectres are really tho. My current SSF PoB without cluster jewels is https://pastebin.com/UXi8DFTD

For Skeleton survivability, a medium cluster can fix it. There is a notable call "Blessed Rebirth": Minions created Recently cannot be Damaged, meaning your ske cant be damage in 4 seconds after summon. You can craft them yourself with a few alteration and augment orb if you are playing SSF, just need to find a medium cluster jewel with: % minion life

How can the damage from SO so low? GGG not only change the trigger from spell to attack, they also reduces the base damage?

They reduced spectres level on 25lvl Raise Spectre gem.
Before you can spawn lvl84 Spectre and now it's 78lvl.
So base SO damage lowered from 640 to 453.
Only way to fix it somehow is to use +3 Bone Helmet with Min damage and Hypo supports built-in.

The nerf to Raise spectre gem made it so weak compare to Carrion golem now. The 7-link helmet that you suggest can only fix the health problem of spectre but not the damage, because you cant use awaken minion damage, and hypothema only have 38% more damage. Unless you can get the "socketed gem deal 30% more ele damage" on helmet, it will not be stronger than a 6-link body armour

Hi Kay wondering about your update with flickershades? incoming? I'm glad that you are still making content. I like Ghazzy's content to but its really for a unique crowd. I'm glad the builds are able to do all content comfortably on a low budget. I'm not going to spend 500 ex on my build because it does everything anyway. I would love to focus on flickershades as SO are not exciting me as i have done them many times. Take care!

just wondering if Kay have any trees for the gg/mirror helm version

Got a new one with a better roll x3 axiom and x2 slum. Feels like a nice boost.

Spoiler

Why don't Anoint the most distant notable? I use a very similar Jewel and to save points that give literally nothing i Anoint two of that notables.

Has anyone tried Maven fight with SO spectres? I failed it recently, seems SO don't have enough damage

Thank you for the work done on this build.
Build was very useful to me!
