You can join the chat "global 6666". It is the proper channel for ppl who are interested in share and get all kinds of Spectres.
If that doesn't work for you, add me up and whisp me whenever. I have a level 28 witch just for banking my Crushclaws and SO, i'll help you.

I tried yesterday, but I'm not sure if got the right channel. I'm playing in german language and I believe I joined the german version of the channel...at least the name said something with "german". I'll check that later in english language and if it makes a difference.

In any case thanks for your offer to whisp you - that's really kind and my ermergency plan! :-)

By default, when you switch a global channel, the game locates you in one with your localization. To join the right global 6666 you have to do /global 6666 en

Interesting, might look into that wand. The question is whether the additional damage from an additional Eminence + Aggresive Spectres can compete with the 40% hatred effect.

Phantasms are already super aggresive so they don't need the aggresive mode I've found. I think spectres are fine too but there are times when they just stand around afk during bosses if you're too far away which is annoying.
I like the idea of aggresive AG the most, having him seek out packs to procc inpulsa instead of being dependant on me convocating him sounds great.

The thing is, Aggressive Minions are only good in locations, where there are many small packs of monsters. Such conditions are met in usual map farming. However, in such types of content as Simulacrums, Logbooks, 4 or 5 orb Delirium Maps the whole location is a giant pack of monsters.

Anyone have a second to take a look at my build? My damage feels mediocre, despite what looks to me like decent gear. My last simulacrum left my stonewalled vs wave 24 kosis, I was in combat with him for at least 2 minutes without being able to wear him down.

I feel like there's some key, fundamental mechanic I'm missing out on here but I don't know what it would be.

@Deadandlivin thanks for the simulacrum videos, looks really promising, looking forward to try with crabs :)

Got a few questions about the gems mainly:

1. How do you fit Tempest Shield in terms of mana reserved?
2. I am socket starved now, since I couldn't find determination corrupted shield. Tried to remove feeding frenzy from zombies but they just insta die. Is the frostbite ring the only solution?
3. Which one is better: Awakened elemental dmg or empower 3 (4 is too expensive right now for me) for golems?
4. How can I check whether the elemental equilibrium works properly? I can't see the visual effect on mobs, but I do have blade vortix+lightning dmg craft
5. How bad is triggering molten shell?

Thanks a lot for the help

P. S. Tried simulacrum. Died to wave 22, started feeling week around wave 20, but all deaths came due to screen freezes since there is too many mobs/abilities

Thanks for responding. I'm not great at PoB, but yes, using 3 SO and 1 Primal Claw. There should be enough unreserved mana for the trigger spells (75 mana unreserved).

AG has kingmaker, inpulsa, windshriek, -3 cold resist helm and rare EW gloves.

Gem in helm should have been Predator, not a duplicate minion damage.


Not sure what the next step is to ramping up damage.

I tried to fix the pob a little. https://pastebin.com/32uaR7s4

You need a Taunt jewel to kill the bosses in Simulacrums.
If you get a Taunt jewel the boss will literally stand afk as you wither them down.

What mods did the wave have? Sounds like you got a 80% cold resistance wave with 40% incresed monster life. Makes bosses take ALOT of time to wear down.

If you're gonna do simulacrums I highly suggest you to run a PoB more similar to mine. You absolutely need Spell Block cap to survive later waves.
Minion survivability will also start becoming an issue, you will need Indomitable army to make sure they're resist capped 100% of the time.

If you watch my videos you will see some boss waves where I get ~70% cold res mods and how I handle it.

Basically, what you do is clear all small shit trash mobs.
Then you gotta find a safe space away from the bosses so you can gemswap to pure single target. Then you gotta isolate the boss somewhere and just have your minions perma taunt him.

1. Small cluster with Grace reservation (Check my profile or the Sim PoB)
2. If your zombies die you need to fix their survival somehow. Indomitable army and lvl 21/20 Raise Zombie gem usually is enough.
When you get Frostbite ring you replace frostbite with Blade Vortex.
To fit Tempest Shield when running Crabs you need to move Feeding Frenzy to your Spectres. Replace Predator with Feeding Frenzy to save one socket slot.
This allows you to still run Molten Shell and Tempest Shield aswell as the rest of the kit.
3. Empower3 most likely.
4. You can't.
Your best bet is to mouse over your blade vortex and read the tooltip.
There you can see a breakdown of the types of damage you're dealing. If you see that your BV has any line that reads fire or lightning dmg it works as it should. If it deals any form of cold damage something is terribly wrong.
5. Very bad.
Use the Numlock trick for molten shell instead.

I also don't understand how to fit in Tempest Shield if I have like 12% mana unreserved.
I've downloaded your POB, compared it with my POB and I don't see any difference but you have like 25% more unreserved mana, wtf.
Grace + determination + hatred + skitterbots/bonechill
and somehow you manage to fit TS.
What is the magic.

magic is called Charisma.

I switched to the tanky variant of the build few days ago and I know I still need levels for more health and some damage, but I don't understand how we are getting cap block even with bone offering I don't know what I'm doing wrong if someone can look at it and give me some help that would be amazing.
