The Spectrel Gods ( A Summoners Guide ) [Updated 4/22][Now with video!]

Regarding Auras..

Approx how much do we level gems such as Anger, Grace and Wrath?

And Clarity..?

Wow, any strategy for beating the 'piety' boss on the temple map? fuckin' wrecked all my minions in no time.

I have some trouble finding the right support gems for spectres. Atm I go with Minion Damage, GMP and Life on Hit. But I am not sure if its better to use Life Leech instead of Life on Hit?

I find life on hit/life leach to be a waste for spectres. The optimal config would be different for each spectre. For example flame senties work best with chain/faster cast

What lvl maps are you running with this build? my arc summoner was very similar to this build, but I had to rework her when I started doing 74+ maps.

Am having a lot of trouble with the random map rolls am hardly getting any 70+ maps. For harder maps you just need to take it slower and abuse conversion traps.

There is no definite answer. Level your gems just enough so you can cast everyone of your skills. For me that is around 200 mana left over.

As mentioned high damage aoe's will wreck any summoner build.

Heres some tips:

- piety has a large energy shield, use chaos
- ice spear/traps/long range attacks with added chaos damage
- skeleton totem with added chaos and/or culling strikes
- its gonna take a lot of kiting and a lot of skeleton totem spamming but it should be
- use these three curses enfeeble/temporal/vunlerability
possible. Piety a bitch for most builds.

hello guys, i am new necromancer (lvl 35 atm) and i am using this build cause i find it really funny and relaxing (nice job matt). Nothing can stand in frond of minions and spectres more than 1-2 sec and i still keep looting and relaxing watching the stats of the dead corpses for beter spectres etc etc hehe.
and one question, i find this wand with my shadow a few days ago and want to know if it is good for a summoner. i dont want to go for the QD cause i like the wand + shield style

It has great lightning damage, should be good for shock stacking.

Am also unsure about QD and MB

QD u lack a shield and MB your gonna be missing 30%hp

I seem to be doing fine with just 3 spectre end game so its totally fine to drop those uniques

I am Level 60 i follow this Guide and im fine for the moment. Thanx a lot.

The Equipment is to Update, but is my first char. Realy low resistance.

The next Skillgoal is Innerforce.

Found a way to cheat yourself more socket space

Since zombies/spectre use the support gems the moment they are raised, this means you can remove all but the zombie/spectre gem and put other gems in there.

For example I have a 5 linked chest

R-B-B-B-G

I summon the spectres with support gems in them

I can now take those support gems off b/c the spectre that was raised is already enhanced by supports as long as the spectre gem is inside your socket the spectre will remain

I can now put in any kind of skills gems/auras/whatever gems you want.

I only advise you to do this with spectre as a good one can last a while. You can do this with the zombie gem too but they need to be constantly replaced so it will be a hassle.

I'm not really taking advantage of that shock status, I might drop arc/elemenlal pro/wrath

2. offensive spells direct your army to attack the target you are attacking. They tend to run around aimlessly when your not attacking the monster.

Wow--this is a big revelation to me. Did you find this out anecdotally or is it written somewhere?

You can find it in one of the last CB patchnotes. Curses have the same effect. Non the less it still doesn't hinder your minions to act stupid.

Hi,

just a question. Isn`t the elemental resistance (6% all elemental resistances) better than the node Elemental Adaptation (5% fire, 5% cold, 5% lightning)?

And the point used on the 10 str node that leads to Elemental Adaptation could be spent on the node Might (30 str) or a Chaos resistance/another elemental resistance node?
