I feel like my zombies are dying a lot when killing the metamorphs. Am i doing something wrong with my build?

Check the Troubleshooting section of the guide.

Brunowa can you post your league character so that i may inspect the gear

I am massively struggling, what am I doing wrong? Piety destroyed me and every boss takes forever to die...

Can someone explain why you need Blood Magic with Spectres and AG?

Man, I decided to try this build, but maybe I need to go back to kay's because I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong :(.....I can't even kill Dominus without all of my zombies AND both of my spectre's dying, before I even get to him :(, and I never had that problem in 3.8.........I figure since it's only act 3, I don't need much in the way of gear, etc, but they don't stay alive longer than about 10 seconds, and my spectre's have died about 5 times so far....Maybe I should have tried Arc instead :(


My character is public if someone wants to take a look...

Blood Magic allows the spectres to cast charges more frequently.

I had a look at your character and you're severely underlinked. Get a couple more 3 links so that you can give your zombies some life/dmg support. give your spectres some life/blood magic support. give your skellies infernal legion or switch to srs for dmg.

Remember, spectres at low levels will die a lot, that's just how it'll be til you can get regen on them.

Also, see if you can get a queen's decree (should only be about 1 alch). it'll add a good chunk of health and dmg to your minions.

Mentoya, get yourself some support auras: skitterbots and dread banner will help buff that damage. Also, spectres are there to buff your minions, not do direct damage. get some carnage chieftains from act 2 and give them health/bm/elemental resist. keep em alive best you can.

also, you may need to give your zombies a health boost too if they're dying too much.

lastly, pick up a queen's decree for 1 alch, it'll give your minions a dmg and health buff.

What would you suggest I focus on? I have had pretty much no luck with links unfortunately lol

To be honest, I take white with links over rares without. scour the shops for some 3 links, throw an essence on em. The stats at low levels are less important than the links. Keeping zombies and spectres alive and meat shieldy is the best bet, with infernal legion skellies being the main dmg output.

That queen's decree makes a huge difference. As does feeding frenzy for qol.

Maybe it was my imagination, but I found my minions were super squishy until I picked up the righteous army node, then it really smoothed out.


And of course, like I said to the other guy, get skitterbots and something else to aura like haste for damage or discipline for tankiness.

Okay thanks Herbalist. I think my problem is that I"m trying to follow the leveling guide to closely(in terms of what to link at what level), not realizing that the actual leveling guide was probably put together for 3.8....

I'll try that, thank you for all of the help. I managed to find a 4 blue link white boots. hopefully that helps things... Working on getting a Queen's decree as well.
