Hello, just started mapping...I was wondering what spectres are best for us...I was told by a few people that Syndicate ops were nerfed...Are their any close viable options or are they still the best for us overall?

Wondering the same thing. Or is it better to use something else (like FAS).

FAS are very bad, they have 0% base crit so they can't crit.
Not really useable in our build since we try to scale crit for more damage.

If you just got into mapping, just use 3 Syndicate Operatives. It will perform the best from my testing. When you get a fourth spectre, add a Primal Crushclaw.

Few things. Have we looked at putting Carrion golems in our Chest? +2 on all gems. Awakened minion give +1 to Carrion golems. Wouldn't it make sense to put our Carrion in our chest unless we have a 8 link helm? Its +3 to Carrion and 22/23 lvl support gems.

I'm surprised people feel the need for Auls for Grace. I'm running T14-16 deathless and only dieing to Conquerors when I'm being lazy. I do have Bone offering and vaal grace in my setup though. Im just running a basic stat amulet and pretty sure I'll get a +2 gems. The only thing I feel lacking is bossing damage. Then I need to upgrade my wand from +1 to +2 and get lvl 21 gems/awakened.

If you have a trigger wand but no EE I think the classic setup with Flesh Offering - Frost Bomb - Desecrate is best.

If you already have Cold Exposure from Awakened Cold pen, change Frost Bomb for anything else you like.

You will need some ranged attack like Storm Brand to apply Curse on hit ring though, or simply just self cast Frostbite and run no ring stuff at all.

so when I cast frostbite, offering myself I can get a wand without trigger? and get a little more damage for me right now.

You can cast frostbite, elemental weakness yourself and then click offering too for huge dps boost.
But I'd rather unintall than do that for more than one map heh.


You can also use brand to cast it for you if you free up some links that should save you some clicks.


In fact, if you cast it yourself it is stronger! We are just too lazy to do that all the time.

Thank you very much, it's a bit difficult to understand given my level of english but thank you!
If by any chance anyone plays the LL version I would be grateful for feedback :)

I don't know why I am still squishy even I got aul and run grace.

I always got random one shot and cannot level more than 92, how sadly.

Can you please look at my item and tell me what I should upgrade to gain some more defense?

Dudes, i've got skin of the loyals with 3b-2r-1g
What is best link setup then? I'm not sure what red gems to use.

This is quite a squishy build I guess. Most of our survivability comes from fast clearing. Thats why most struggle at bosses.

What you can try:
Get determination in your shield (since you don't want to change that amulet) to save a slot for Vaal Molten Shell. It helped me a lot.

You're squishy to Chaos and Elemental damage most likely.
Dunno about your health but assume you have low life aswell.

Some things you can do is specc more into life and get Annointed Flesh for ailment immunity.

You also need to run Awakened Melee Splash on your crabs, it's very important and helps alot with survivability since their auto attacks will splash and freeze everything. Without Melee Splash your clear will feel lackluster and monsters will get hits on you.

You should also use instilling orbs on your flasks and make them auto trigger when they're full to ensure 100% uptime if your flask uptime is suboptimal.

If you really want to feel tankier you can also sacrifice some dps by swapping a gemlink for Vaal Molten Shell.
My suggestion is to put Feeding Frenzy on your crabs instead of your Zombies.
Your gemlinks should be like this then:

Map clear: Minion Dmg, Feeding Frenzy, Hypothermia, EDWA, Awakened Melee Splash
Single Target: Swap Melee Splash for Multistrike.
This frees up a socket on your shield and you can put Vaal Molten Shell there which will help alot.

You should take another look at your skill tree btw, you have alot of inefficient points placed out.

That's the setup for running Primal Crushclaws.
You can check my profile to see how I'm running it.

For Clear you want to run:
- Minion dmg, Hypothermia, Elemental Dmg With attacks, Awakened Melee Splash and Increased Area of Effect.
For ST, swap in Predator and Multistrike removing the AoE stuff.
