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

btw, you propose one set of support gems with minions, but in your gear i see smth very different, why is that? can you link your current gear/say what are decent links? im kinda torn between standard minion dmg/life/something and your wicked combos like added chaos/multistrike or some added fire/ignite.....

can you show a full list fo gems and support gems for your current running build?
and how do i get in what order to put the passives..it's confusing :/

support gems i mix and match depending on the spectre i raise(chest piece setup is always changing)

what I did in the beginning was connect the nodes to minion instability from the left side once I connected both sides of the tree I respeced. And when you don't have good gear yet grab those elemental resistance nodes and respec out of them when you don't need them anymore.

So basically grab what you need
Than respec when you don't need them anymore due to gear

current: lvl 83

Next goals is that 16% chaos res node
and getting EE(buff my added fire zombies and fire based spectres)

thanks alot :d

Im not sure, since your not showing jewellery(you can ignore if already tri-curse), but i would rather go tri-curse than use arc +EE. Tri-curse is faster and grants you a lot of mobility while covering a large part, if not all, enemies' army. I' ve tested for a while arc + EE but even if enemies die really fast, you are forced to stand still and packs with aoe stuff or tentacle misc from distance are really dangerous(especially 72+ maps) while you keep casting arc. In the other hand, has i' ve said at the beginning, if you already go tri-curse that's a nice bonus.

I would also suggest to swap your reduced mana gems while auras are up. I personally use reju totem(it's like having a stronger vitality aura on you and your minions, and helps spectres survivability)+ molten shell (1.3k armor free 1.6k with IF, doubled with armor granite flask on top of the 4k)

I have couple of questions for you:

-Your zombie setup seems really interesting, is that effective?

-Why you choose blind for your skelly ?
The only time i need skelly is for mitigating damage from aoe sources or when there are very large packs of nasty stuff, but mitigating means their only presence is enough. They will do more damage with added chaos dmg and even if they die MI kicks in.
With a strong shield(necro aegis) + purity your minions resists are maxed out and struggle to die in most encouters.
My shield:
I would also give up on MI at this point, 1-2 minions deaths in a hour play time are really neglectable dps-wise.

I switch my accessories from time to time I mostly use a combination of hp rings or


Tri curse + shock + EE sounds even better. Arc mechanic lets you position your self behind objects and still hit them with it. Its not all the time there are piercing mobs in maps.

That zombie setup is pretty good. Remote mine is a much bigger multiplier and so is added fire. Mix in multi strike and your really enhancing what you already use. Flammability, elemental weakness, anger and wrath.

I actually ran multi strike, added chaos, totem, skele for a while (am just testing new things)

I was thinking about dropping MI for some time now. The damage is pretty fantastic when they explode especially if you take advantage of it by going, chance ignite, elemental pro. I just have a problem with elemental resist.

Can you show me your gear? am struggling to max my resist without my shield =/

Do EE + shock work well together?
How much DPS of arc is enough to shock in merciless while using mb?

nvm.

Yeah its -50% resist and +120% more damage

I think I have around 400dps with my arc with MB on. Most important thing is having the 2 shock nodes. Temporal chains lets you be more lazy the shock lasts longer before u need to reapply

Tentacle mis, graplers(these guys teleport to your location), and archers(LA) with multi proj/chain in maps especially indoors are those things that prevent me from use arc(for now). I tend to play solo(any mod except bloodmagic).

My gear (im currently overcapped +50all, i can do maps with ele weakness or EE without worry about those. -20iir from aurum is countered with a ring. I'm not stacking iir/iiq at the moment since i need to reach lvl 91 to complete my build. Currently 86):
