Hey,

I've been itching to try out crafting, this is my first league where I actually try to do more content and really digging this build.

I have some questions about crafting some items, like what fossils do you use and what do you look for in the item itself?

5) Crafting Minion Damage Gloves
Every time I'm trying to craft this glove, similar to yours I always get some random stuff to it, any way to get a better chance of a good glove? More fossils or something?


7) Crafting / Buying GG ES/EVA-based chest with +1 Spectres
How does one even get such a chest? I heard it drops in delve, but I don't really understand what to look for to actually have a chance to drop it. Of course I could try and buy one, but would like to try and grab one myself since delve is quite fun.


9) Crafting a 2x-3x res high life Stygian Wise with Bound Fossil
Do you use any other fossils for this? or only bound fossils?

Sorry if the questions were very stupid, but I just wanna improve some items :)

Thanks in advance

5) Helena craft. Not fossils
7) they are delve exclusive drops. You just need to buy one with good rolls
9) Bound and Pristines, if you are rich. this is very optional though, as spectres do not die at all

How do you feel about using aspect of the avian

it's just a 10% chance to deal double damage for 4 secs. Might not happen or happen. So in general, not a super reliable boost.

Tried the way you set it but having issue with minion speed in higher tier maps where they are simply not fast enough even with my 0% movement speed boots.

Switched to queen's escape and dropped the shield and shield notes.
They are flying around me destroying everything.

It is not min maxed the char as it's level 81 and have not ascended yet in uber but done t14-15 with ease with the new setup.

Thx for guide

5) Gloves can roll too many mods making them very expensive to craft compared to buying some with high life/res/stats and master crafting 20% minion damage. Much easier to just add minion damage to a good pair then to craft an okay pair with it.

7) Spectre bodies are harder since they are drop only and will require a large amount of currency to link even if you bought them cheap.

Your best bet is to pick up one with some resistances and 50+ life to 5 link. You'll want them to be ES or hybrid ES base since chroming AR/ES gets even more expensive.

To 6 link you'll either want better base rolls (life+res+open affix) or to have annulled off the bad ones to multi-mod. I went with a 90+ life, 30%+ resist body, and open prefix.

9) Belts are similar to gloves that in general it's just easier to buy a well rolled one. Minion life is okay, but not generally needed. A high life stygian with at least 2 res suffixes and an open suffix isn't too pricey.

If you really want to craft, boots and helmets should give better returns. Easier to hit at least a couple of desired mods and not terribly expensive per attempt with Bound, Pristine, and potentially Shuddering or Scorched. Crafting in general is a sinkhole so don't expect anything amazing, just usable. Also make sure you're picking up i86 bases if possible since you can get higher MS, minion levels, etc.

Rings, amulets, and gloves have way too many competing mods. You're far more likely to get 2 mediocre rolls or maybe 1 high roll, but everything else being otherwise underwhelming. These slots are just easier to buy and can let you pick up buy some with chaos resistance or DEX/STR as needed.

3.7k life is very low especially when you don't have any other defenses like block, dodge, evade, ES, or MoM.

You'll want to aim for higher base life on all your gear.

You can get +1 rare spectre boots and body armor that you can craft 50+ life on for not too much.

Jewelry can get 60+ life and resistances on for relatively cheap. You'll want to avoid anything with +fire damage so you can use Elemental Equilibrium, which is basically a free ele weakness curse.

At such low life all your jewels should probably just be rares with 30+ life and whatever minion related stats you can find (damage, speed, resists for you). The only unique jewel that is helpful is Unending Hunger, but if you're not killing fast enough it doesn't really do anything for you.

You should be able to get 5k+ life after upgrading your gear, which will reduce likelihood of being one shot.

If you are still dying you can swap Puppet Master for Mistress of Sacrifice and Bone Offering so you can block more hits and gain life on block.

Ok I need some help. I scrapped my arc witch, and used like 75 regrets to get to this tree at level 91. I sold my 6L Inpulsa's and scraped together a lot of stuff that looks good.

His PoB says ~600k dps for Solar Guard fireball.
My Pob says ~ 40k dps for Solar Guard fireball.

I copied all his gear over to my build, it went up a little.

I fake leveled all the gems to 20/20, it went up a little.

I toggled between the trees back and forth, and they are more or less the same (minus a strength cluster lower left).

After all that 'my' build could get up about 80k dps.

I'm missing something major and can't find it!

What gives, can anyone point me in the right direction?

The only fishy thing so far is that I have gems for 3 auras, but they reserve too much so I have been running Anger and Clarity, but the Elemental one isn't able to be used.

Help a newbie out? This is only my 2nd character ever.

Funny, I just got to maps and I'm hitting this thread up to ask how the f*ck my Spectres are supposed to survive? They die in literally 1 hit, T1 map with some extra damage, nothing too bad. Summoned in Hideout and again in Map after they died... they also do no damage, with 4 spectres I still need to hang back behind them and wait for them to kill packs. Using Solar Guards.

I do not have Necromantic Aegis yet as I was trying this as a starter build with no trading so I couldn't get a useful shield, but I was not expecting the Spectres to be this useless without gear in a build boldly titled *BEST LEAGUE STARTER*
