Kay, I have an end-game high investment build question. Would it be worthwhile, for SO spectres, to have corrupted gloves with elemental weakness on hit with 40%+ enhanced effect on them? We can anoint +1 curses and then path normally to +1 spectres. This gives us another -50% cold resist on top of frostbite, at the cost of probably 10% max hp and a small cluster from one of the dual cluster load outs (the skill points could be pruned from wherever I'm sure). I'm just looking at end game upgrades and the build is locked into a lot of uniques so I wanted your thought on this somewhat expensive deviation to the build. It would be 5ex+ , which I don't think is actually costly when it comes to end game upgrades. What are your thoughts?



I am not sure of the mechanics of two curse on hits it the curse limit is at 2, but I do believe elemental weakness stacks with frostbite.

Thanks!

Hi all! Im lvl 89, I play with pure SO spectres.
My gear:


I have Unending Hunger and 4 Abyss jewels.

And it's a really problem on maps tier 14+, I die every 2-3 maps, I think it's because of not enouth dps.

So what can I do to improve my situation? (of course I'm not talking about very expensive things)

1. I have only 1 cluster tree, so I can build second, but It will give me only ~15% increased dmg. And I will lose 1k life (5k->4k) (~3ex)
2. Upgrade all quantity on the gems, but it will give me ~10% increased dmg (50c)
3. Buy body armor with +1 number of spectres, it will give me 5th spectre (+25% dmg), but I will spend a lot (~10 ex)
4. Take AG whith Kingmaker (now I have the cheapest AG whith auras), but I don't think it will give me a lot dps boost (~8ex)

Any other not expensive variations?(<10ex) Thanks for help!

Hi, Kay.
You have a good handle on spectres.
Do you think any of the new mobs we see in expedition (the ones that can trigger with the event or when you open a log book) are worth looking at as summoned spectres?

Hi guys, I'm new to spectres and i've managed to get to Sirius. I can't seem to be able to kill Sirius(A0) with ease, my spectre constantly dies. Am i doing something wrong? Do you guys think i should change to Primal crushclaw instead for Sirus?

Excited for the Spectres update!

anybody can explain me why lifetap is usefull inthe skeleton build? i mean 10% increased dmg ? for my support spectre? its really the best option? and how am suppose to active the lifetap?

Could someone please help me with what I'm doing wrong with the build, or what would be the next important upgrades? I'm having a hard time surviving tier 14+ maps, the damage is good, but I die a lot. Thanks in advance.

Lifetap is used on Spectres so they use life to cast their skills otherwise they would run out of mana and be unable to give you Frenzy and Power charges.

Hey guys, Can we run a second unset ring with snipers mark or poachers mark (for frenzy) instead of the frostbite on hit curse rings?

i feel like that will be more damage no?

and between snipers mark and poachers mark (for frenzy charge) which is better?

Give or take that is what I do, my Poacher's Mark is in my Triad gloves. I have an Animated Guardian that also applies Elemental Weakness on hit - and I find that works out well give or take. As the Poacher's Mark doesn't last long, and is only on one. While the rest of the mobs have the Ele Weakness curse.
