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

Thanks for the info!

I was bidding on a bunch of swords, but now I will prioritize boots. Wish I wasn't so poor lol! In awesome news, the unique ammy dropped for me. woot!

Not a requirement, but sure better than everything I have.

Incoming noob question here...

How can you run 5-7 auras,2 curses, zombies, skellies, specters and an attack or two for yourself when you only have 8 buttons to assign skills to???? Are you casting your aura's and then swapping those skill buttons to other skills? (am at work so can't test)

Yes, either swmp buttons after you cast your auras or use a weapon swap.

Thank you, I tried using the weapon swap before but could never predict which buttons would actually swap, it always seemed random. Plus I don't think you can have aura gems on the weapon you swap out, the auras cancel out when you swap. (at least that's what I remember, been a while since I tried)

hello,

i have the robe that gives blood magic and was thinking about makeing a templar or even mar hp spec'ed summoner, anyone try this yet and what do ya think ?

Would you still use Eldritch Battery with the Midnight Bargain?

With Blood Magig you will not be able to use auras reserving % of HP, for example, Vitality, Determination, Haste, Hatred, and Purity.

Absolutely not. Which is the sole reason why I grabbed the Decree...

The Wand just changes the foundation of the build too much...-30% life is not only a huge risk, but also means no Eldrich Battery, which means less Auras, which means less overall utility & damage...I mean, even though as a Caster, you're going to have a small life pool, but that small life pool axed by 30% is just absurd. ANY AoE can then destroy you...hell, without EB, in Cruel, one of those Leaping Goatmen in the Cliff area can take out almost 1/2 of my ES when they land...imagine if you have no ES and -30% life...insta-gibbed right there on a crit, and those sons-a-bitches jump everywhere, sometimes more than one, so you WILL get hit.

What amazes me is that people are selling their souls for that goddamn Wand and are only screwing themselves over in the long-run, coughing up 23+ GCP for that thing and basically killing their build when the Decree serves the EXACT SAME GODDAMN PURPOSE!! at a fraction of the risk & cost, and you only lose 1 Socket (Sword = 6, Wand = 3 & Shield = 4).

So g'head and sell your soul for the Bargain, and enjoy walking around Cruel or Merciless with all of ~600HP after deduction & EB, champs...

I just picked up a 4s, 4l decree for under a GCP. It's the way to go. Now to save up for 4L ullr!
