General Discussion - Summon Specter + GMP = Broken? - Forum

I was playing with my friend who is a Witch MM. We thought of linking his specters to Greater Multiple Projectiles (I'm sure it's been thought of before), and he went to Lunaris to grab 4 Tentacle Miscreations. My first question is, was this intended to even work? I ask this because the cost of GMP is very high, but it only affects the MM once, upon summoning. It is VERY POWERFUL. The spread of projectiles filled entire hallways, mowing down everything in our path. Tentacle Miscreations already fire entire volleys quickly and repeatedly. It didn't hurt that I was using Projectile Weakness and firing thousands of arrows myself. What do people think about this? I've always thought that Minion Masters are "THE" most powerful single player class in any ARPG, and as a fan of game balance I've always disliked them...since what's the point of having 6 classes and tons of different ways to play each, if you can just have an army and walk through maps without being touched. Anyone else in the party isn't even needed, and in most games, when one method is "too easy", the difficulty gets shifted accordingly until that method is "required"...not saying GGG will go that direction though. This combination seems way too powerful to me, did they even intend for GMP to work on summoned monsters?	Posted by Psyborg#3642 on Feb 21, 2013, 11:04:02 PM Quote this Post

I didn't know that lmp/gmp worked on minion projectiles. Sounds awesome.	Posted by MonstaMunch#6519 on Feb 21, 2013, 11:17:33 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Wow, this is insane, never knew it could work like that... Now... I need to brainstorm a new build featuring awesoe Specters with massive backups so they stay alive.	Posted by Mezion#4917 on Feb 22, 2013, 2:42:24 AM Quote this Post
ive in my chest GMP, specter, minion dmg, item quali, and item quanty. What is also realy nice (but carefull sometimes realy hard fps drops...) GMP+Fork+Specter (the tentakle ones...;) ) many mobs + all (4 from my minions) start shooting, it looks AMAZING! :D	Posted by kalle00#2536 on Feb 22, 2013, 2:47:04 AM Quote this Post
I ran spec + GMP and some times chain depending on what specs I have. It's broken as hell, some one posted a video of it and GGG hasn't nerfed it yet thankfully. It was one of my super secret tricks.	Posted by Ultralisk153#1735 on Feb 22, 2013, 2:48:50 AM Quote this Post
I never took the Spectre reward gem when I had the chance as sounded like a weaker version of zombie. Now I'm a level 54 summoner with no Spectre, and no chance to get it again through quests =(	Posted by Varakkys#0777 on Feb 22, 2013, 2:52:42 AM Quote this Post
Does your friend know that you posted a jealousy post on forums?	Posted by Studflower#0883 on Feb 22, 2013, 2:54:37 AM Quote this Post
I believe Summon Specter + GMP + LMP is more broken.	Posted by Obscurin#1591 on Feb 22, 2013, 3:03:49 AM Quote this Post
