debating replacing a flask with one for burning and/or rumi's

Yeah I just got a rumi's and a blood of the kauri and its tempting to try to squeeze both in, just not too sure how yet.

I was thinking about using AG with Sin Eater to "negate" elemental ailments and then I'd have to only cover Blood and Poison with flasks leaving me 3 spots for unique ones.

Hi Kay,

I was following your guide and got to level 12, then I saw this new gem in the shop "Absolution". I replaced Holy Totem with that gem and it felt good. Would you please share your thought on that new gem?

I hope I haven't missed the explanation in the guide itself, but why are we not annointing Ravenous Horde for the Pure Spectres build? Is RH simply not strong enough to justify the points spent to path up to Death Attunement?

Hi all, hi Kay,

I'm trying SRS bomber build, but I've got a problem with Earendil's Embrace. It seems like skeletons don't lose HP and, as a result, don't explode from Minion instability, don't have Avatar of Fire, while Skeleton's hits cover enemies in Ash. Skeleton gem was linked with Minion Life and Meat Shield support, then I tried without any support gems.

I found similar topics on the forum, but without solving this problem. Any suggestions about it?

I have question: what variation of build is has more dmg vs bosses? i want to try bosskiller build and cant dicide=(

imho: depends on the playstyle. If you lack damage i would annoint it on the amulet an just miss out on maybe life nodes to keep death attunement, but damage should not be a problem.

I would be very happy if someone shared Syndicate Operative Spectre with me.

Edit : Got one, thanks!

Hi,

i currently run kay's "minion army" starter build and have big survival issues at tier 14 maps+
I keep on getting one shotted very often and there is no way i can finish an incursion room intime or slay even a half of legion encounter monsters and so on.
Can any more experienced player please have a look at my char and tell me if i had missed something/did something wrong or missing a easy upgrade? Still dont have the currency to get a 4th spectre.

Thx in advance! :)

Its been some time since Ive gone deep on the summoner thing, but let me pick on a a few things.

The gem Trigger in wands goes through the skills by order so ideally you want desecrate to be the gem before the offering. This is easily fixable through crafting bench. Your wand is not great, you'll want something with +1 to levels eventually.

The decision of which minions get to reside in the penthouse (head) and who gets to tend to the fields (gloves) depends on largely two factors: how you play and perhaps the why you do so:

Are you using those main support minions with meatshield because they provide you with a certian amount of protection? Otherwise i would suggest swapping to Feeding Frenzy Support. Gets you not only more dmg, also gets that super important elemental army support gem debuff on the enemies roling.

Skeletons are great, in this build they are your bread and butter single target i win button. Use them, not just once but multiple times during a map. Expedition Chests? Vaal Skellies. Boss Room? Vaal Skellies Tanky Metamorph Boss or Abaxoth? Vaal Skellies.

Your main links in the body armor seem to be for FAS or SlD? For the FAS Spectres u should use GMP. Map with GMP, only take GMP out for bosses.

Eventually you will want +1 to spectre gem levels on boots and a neck with +1 to all Intelligence skills. Get that spectre gem level to 25 asap, a 4th spectre is a huge boost. See Kays guide for the "upgrade path", stick to it. Meaning, dont focus on rebuilding and clusters before you dont have the fundamentals, (lvl25 raise spectre, the devouring diadem and the triads grip with 4 blue sockets.

If you havent already, put Bone Armor on the left or right mousebotton, use it as frequently as possible. You can also use phasewalk, it stops enemies focusing on you as much.

hope theres something in there that helps you out mate.
